126: How We Grow Dahlias More Profitably: Pricing, Costs & Efficiency

Dahlias might be one of the most beautiful and popular flowers on your farm, but are they actually making you money? They're also one of the most labor-intensive crops to grow, and those hidden costs can quietly eat away at your profits. In this episode of the Six Figure Flower Farming Podcast, Jenny breaks down how to grow dahlias more profitably by understanding your true production costs, pricing for profit, and focusing on margins instead of just sales. You'll learn practical ways to reduce labor costs and improve efficiency in dahlia production , from smarter planting and harvesting techniques to mechanized digging, task batching, and weed management. Because building a sustainable, profitable flower farming business isn't always about growing more flowers. Sometimes it's about getting better at growing the ones you already have.

123: Listen To This If You Love Growing Flowers - But The Business Side Is A Struggle.

You can grow gorgeous flowers, know exactly when to pinch your dahlias, and have your succession planting dialed in...and still feel completely lost when someone asks about your margins, pricing, marketing, or profit. That doesn’t mean you’re “not a business person.” Running a profitable flower farm is simply a different skill set than growing flowers, and those skills can be learned. We’re talking about how to identify the business skill that’s actually holding your flower farm back, whether that’s profitability, pricing, marketing, sales, or efficiency, and why you don’t need to master everything at once. If you want to build a sustainable flower farm business that pays you well and gives you the freedom to keep doing the work you love, it starts with learning the right skills one step at a time.

What if growing fewer flowers could actually help you build a better flower farm business?

118: The Truth About Profit Margins On A Small Flower Farm

What should your flower farm’s profit margin actually be? The truth is, there isn’t one magic percentage. Profit is something you intentionally create, manage, and protect. In this episode, I break down why two flower farms with the same revenue can leave their owners with wildly different incomes, and why simply selling more flowers isn’t always the answer when your business isn’t profitable. We’ll walk through five of the biggest flower farm profit levers : sales, pricing, product and crop mix, expenses, and efficiency. You’ll learn how to identify where the greatest opportunity exists in your farm, use your numbers to make smarter decisions, and build a more profitable, sustainable flower farming business without automatically adding more markets, more flowers, and more hours to your workload.
