Where flower farms start

  • Subscriptions

    Bouquet subscriptions that run themselves

    Weekly or every-other-week bouquets, paid up front, with pickup spots and skips handled by the subscriber.

    • Season and monthly bouquet plans
    • Pickup sites and home delivery
    • Skips and holds without texts
    CSA and subscriptions

  • Florist wholesale

    An availability list florists order from

    This week's stems by variety and price, ordered by florists online, with standing orders for designers you see every week.

    • Weekly availability by variety
    • Stem and bunch pricing
    • Standing orders for regulars
    Wholesale ordering

  • Bookings

    U-pick, workshops and farm visits, booked and paid

    Time slots for U-pick and bouquet workshops, paid at booking, with caps so the field is never overrun.

    • Timed tickets with capacity
    • Workshop and event bookings
    • Reminders and waivers sent for you
    Bookings and agritourism

  • Farm stand and market

    Market and stand sales on the same count

    Card payments at the market and the self-serve stand, with stems sold coming off the same weekly list.

    • Tap to pay at the stand
    • Market sales in the same books
    • One stem count per week
    Farmers market and point of sale

How it works

  1. Tell us what you make

    What you make and what you use now. A spreadsheet and a Square account is a fine answer.

  2. Get a short plan

    Keep this, replace that, connect these, and the cost.

  3. We set it up

    Setup and migration done for you. You approve before anything goes live.

  4. Run it or hand it off

    Take it from there yourself or keep us on for the upkeep.

A good fit if

  • You sell bouquets, buckets and events from the same beds
  • Florists ask what is available by text every week
  • U-pick days get more people than the field can take

Questions

What software do flower farms use?

Many use Local Line or Barn2Door for subscriptions and florist orders, Square at markets and the stand, and a booking tool for U-pick and workshops. We set them up so one weekly availability list feeds all of them.

How do bouquet subscriptions work?

Subscribers pay ahead for a set number of bouquets over the season or month and pick up at the farm, a drop site, or get delivery. The software handles payments, pickup lists and skips.

How do I sell cut flowers wholesale to florists?

Send a weekly availability list by variety, stem length and price, take orders by a set cutoff, and offer standing orders to regular designers. An online list replaces the weekly text thread.

Can my flower farm show up on Madeline's?

Madeline's maps independent farms on its makers map and lists makers that ship on the marketplace.
