Show Notes
Long days, physical work, skipped meals, mental fog… flower farming asks a lot of your body, and it is easy to hit burnout long before the season ends. In this episode of the Six Figure Flower Farming Podcast, Jenny sits down with fitness and nutrition coach for women in agriculture, Lindsey Sherman, to talk about what really happens when farming becomes your only “workout.” Together they dig into the aches, low energy, and overwhelm so many farmers face, and why strength training, mobility, and consistent meals can completely change how you feel on the farm.
Lindsey shares simple, doable strategies to build energy and resilience without adding hours to your schedule, from packing easy snacks to creating separate routines for busy and slow seasons. Jenny opens up about her own shift from constant hustle and meal skipping to short walks, meal delivery, and setting herself up for success. If you want to feel stronger, clearer headed, and able to farm for the long haul, this conversation is full of practical ideas to help you take better care of the person running the farm: you.

You know how to grow beautiful flowers, but do you know how to build a flower farm business that actually makes you money? Today I'm pulling back the curtain on my Six Figure Flower Farming program, why I created it, who it's for, and what it really takes to build a profitable, sustainable flower farm. We're talking about the business skills that so many flower farmers struggle with, from pricing and profit margins to marketing, sales, and creating efficient farm systems that give you your time back.
You can grow gorgeous flowers, know exactly when to pinch your dahlias, and have your succession planting dialed in...and still feel completely lost when someone asks about your margins, pricing, marketing, or profit. That doesn’t mean you’re “not a business person.” Running a profitable flower farm is simply a different skill set than growing flowers, and those skills can be learned.
What changes when you stop guessing at your flower farm numbers and start running your farm like a real business? In this episode, I’m talking with Six Figure Flower Farming Alumni Lydia Watson of Hen Hill Cut Flowers about how understanding her costs, profitability, and pricing gave her the confidence to raise her flower prices by 30% with zero customer pushback. After a season of overwhelm and barely keeping her head above water, Lydia is now profitable, tracking her numbers, and making decisions based on data instead of gut feelings.
Feeling overwhelmed on your flower farm doesn’t always mean you need more hours in the day. Sometimes the real problem is that everything feels important. When you’re juggling harvesting, marketing, crop planning, sales, and a never-ending list of new ideas, it’s easy to stay incredibly busy without knowing if you’re actually moving your flower farm business forward.
What if growing fewer flowers could actually help you build a better flower farm business? In this episode, I sit down with past Six-Figure Flower Farming student Amanda Keene of Flowers on Phoenix to talk about how she has simplified her farm, become more intentional about profitability, and built a business that fits around her family and the life she actually wants to live.
