Ask an Expert: Partnering with a Friend for Increased Efficiency and Sales
2026-11-09 20:00 - 21:00 (America/New_York) | Zoom
Two Boots Farm and Hillen Homestead run almost the entirety of their florist sales and deliveries together (with a total of over $300k in sales), sharing the cost of a delivery driver and van. By working together, these two farms offer a lot more variety and volume for their collective customers, have a sounding board and thought partner, and help cover shortages when one of them oversells a product.
While larger cut flower collectives are an amazing opportunity, they aren’t feasible for everyone and the simplicity of working with just one or two other growers has some huge advantages. During this session, Maya Kosok of Hillen Homestead will share lessons learned, tips, what’s working well, challenges, and more about this arrangement in a way that others can adapt to their own needs.
