Summary
Nikki Bartley didn't wait for perfect land access, a perfect setup, or perfect timing. She started selling mason jar arrangements out of her front yard and built Cross Street Flower Farm into a thriving New England cut flower business by leasing seven acres on town owned farmland, then designing a business model that keeps customers coming back all season long. In this episode, we dig into how Nikki built a retail barn shop that runs like a boutique flower destination, why her CSA evolved as her grab and go sales grew, and how she uses events like tulip and dahlia cut your own to turn the farm into a place families plan their weekends around. If you're trying to grow a sustainable flower farm business without owning land, you'll love Nikki’s practical takeaways on diversifying sales channels, building community based marketing that actually works, and setting up inventory in a way that reduces waste and increases profit.
