It's Mother's Day weekend and that means its the busiest week on the farm. We have lots of Tulips to sell, but so far this season, customers haven't been buying as much as we have hoped with low sales numbers for both of our first 2 Saturday markets. Now with Mothers Day approaching, we are going all out by doing three Farmers Markets in four days in an attempt to make it to our goal of selling $10000 dollars in flowers for the weekend. The goal may sound a bit too ambitious, but we have invested a lot into achieving it. Last year our tulips sold as fast as we could arrange them for Mother's Day and we were hoping for a repeat performance, but now the slow sales have us wondering if the economy has changed, and people aren't interested in our bouquets anymore. We really need a strong sales performance for the biggest week of the year for us, to prove that our farm is still on the right track and a viable business.
