NEW KID

Many of you have already placed orders with our newest employee, Pam Danhoff. When we met Pam, she was looking for a part-time job, just a few hours a day. She started out part-time but quickly became an important part of our operation and now she works as many hours as the rest of us. Pam is very personable, very capable and a whole lot of fun to work with – we don’t know how we got along without her!  

MAKE AN APPOINTMENT!

Lots of customers like to visit our farm, see our products and take their flowers along home with them. We like this because it usually means the customer buys more than planned but we don’t like unannounced visits!

Naturally, fall is our busy season and our crew is stretched to the limit. Most customers placing phone orders need their flowers shipped “yesterday” and we make lots of promises as to when we’ll ship. If we spend an hour or two taking care of a customer that drops in without an appointment, somebody isn’t going to get their flowers when we promised. And that ain’t cool.

So, to be fair to all our customers, if you don’t call ahead, don’t expect to take your flowers along when you leave. We’ll still take your order, but we’ll put in on the “to be shipped” pile along with the phone orders, which means you won’t eliminate shipping costs. Make an appointment!!!!

PRICE CHANGES

Some of our prices are going up. We have to be realistic about what it costs to produce excellent flowers so there’s nothing we can do to avoid the increase. But no matter what our prices are, we promise to keep using nice, round numbers - no more annoying $3.99, it’ll just be $4.00 even.

GOOD NEWS

Our dried flowers sales this season are up over last year’s but while attending a flower growers’ conference, we learned that other growers where enjoying increased sales as well. More demand from the consumer means more sales for you so get on board and give ‘em what they want.

Thanks,

Keith
