Growing flowers for the cut-flower market isn't all roses. From choosing varieties and timing crops to managing pests and diseases, dealing with weather and marketing to customers, cut-flower farmers need to navigate an array of decisions. In this webinar, join Britney Zondlak, founder and co-owner of Two Sisters Flower Farm, to hear how she grows an abundance of flowers full-time on a quarter-acre plot while running a successful self-serve farm stand.
Britney Zondlak is the founder and co-owner of Two Sisters Flower Farm LLC in Byron Center, Michigan. The business, which she runs with her sister, Emily, started with just a few rows of zinnias, sunflowers and basil. Today, the farm grows more than 40 different varieties of flowers. Before getting into flowers, Britney worked for nearly two decades at Star-Summit Farm, a dairy operation located across the road from her flower stand. While she still helps out on the dairy from time to time, flower farming has blossomed into a full-time job.
