Selling to a Wholesaler: No Till Flowers with Scott Shepherd

Selling to a Wholesaler: No Till Flowers with Scott Shepherd

Author: Scott Shepherd, Host and Flower Educator December 17, 2024 Duration: 1:03:09

I'm excited to share this week's episode with you! Earlier this year Jenny Love, flower farmer expert and host of the No Till Flowers podcast, asked me to be a guest on her podcast to chat about working with wholesalers as a local flower farmer.

Jenny asked great questions and we had a great conversation that I hope you find helpful. Hopefully through conversation like this we can continue to grow the local flower share of our industry and bring more of the flower production to our own communities wherever you are around the world.
