Looking to start or scale up an organic flower farm?

But you don’t have land….

Contact me with a proposal by February 15, 2024.

I am looking for a person(s) interested in ramping up to operate their own flower business-could be someone out there already doing this that needs land …or a new start up, could be a couple of people doing this while working for benefits somewhere else…

I have:
Certified organic land
No till beds
Landscape fabric pre burned
3 years of commercial cut flower growing experience
Hoop house
Greenhouse
Walk in cooler
Some excellent florist contacts.

I want someone with:
1) passion for regenerative agriculture
2) who wants to grow their own business
3) that understands flower sales, customer relations, post harvest care-or can demonstrate a plan to learn all of the above
4) grit
5) farm or entrepreneurial or business experience
6 ) situational awareness and common sense

In other words, I have infrastructure and can assist with initial seed and plant purchases but you grow your own business eventually at no cost to me. I can assist with seeding, transplanting, harvesting, post harvest care, irrigation etc., HOWEVER YOU would have primary responsibility.

If seriously interested please send a response indicating why you would be interested and how your strengths and weaknesses would fit into an organic flower growing farm.
