Frequently Asked Questions specifically for Flower Farmers

Absolutely. You don't need to sell wholesale or connect with florists to use Farmers to Florists. 

The Crop Planner can be used as your farm's internal planning tool to organize what you're growing, when you're planting it, projected harvest windows, quantities, colors, crop notes, and more.

If you decide to work with florists, those tools are already connected and ready when you are.

Add the crops you're planning to grow, including variety, color, quantity, planting date, and other growing details. Farmers to Florists uses that information to help organize your season and project when crops may be ready for harvest. 

As the season progresses, you can adjust timing, add notes, and update your plan based on what's actually happening in the field.

We get it. Flowers have their own schedule! 

Weather, variety, growing conditions, planting method, and countless other factors can affect when a crop actually blooms. Projected harvest windows are designed to help you plan ahead, not promise an exact harvest date.

As you get closer to harvest, you can adjust your crop timing to keep your information current.

Instead of deleting finished crops, you can mark them as completed and preserve the information from that season. 

Over time, your completed crops become a valuable history of what you planted, when you planted it, when it actually bloomed, and any notes you recorded along the way.

Use what you learned this year to make next year's plan even better.

No! Once you've created your crop plan, you can use it as a foundation for future seasons. 

Duplicate crops into your next growing year, adjust planting dates, quantities, varieties, or other details, and continue refining your plan based on what you've learned.

You choose who you connect and do business with.

Yes. Keep notes connected directly to your crops so the information is there when you need it next season. 

Record observations, timing changes, production notes, successes, problems, or anything else your future self will want to remember.

Yes. You can print your planting schedule or export it to a CSV file, making it easy to take your plan into the field or work with your data outside Farmers to Florists.

Not at all. Farmers to Florists can be used entirely as an internal crop-planning and farm-management tool. 

If wholesale is part of your business, you can also use the platform to connect your crop plan, inventory, and availability with the florists you choose to work with.

No. Farmers to Florists is designed around relationships, not broadcasting all of your farm information to everyone. 

You control the florists you approve and work with through the platform.

Think of your Crop Planner as what's coming and Inventory as what's available now. 

Your Crop Planner helps you plan your season and projected harvest windows. When flowers are harvested and ready to sell, they can be added to Inventory so your connected florists can see what's currently available.

For Farmer and Dual accounts, we intentionally do not offer a traditional free trial. Your crop plan is customized to your farm, your crops, and your growing season, and we want you to have the time to set it up thoughtfully rather than rushing through it before a trial expires.

Before purchasing, you can explore Farmers to Florists through our video tutorials, free Crop Planning course, and a free exploration call so you can see exactly how the platform works.

When you're ready to get started, you can also receive 50% off your first year with an annual plan.

Once your first crop plan is created, it becomes the foundation for future seasons. Duplicate it, make adjustments, record what actually happened, and continue improving your plan year after year. Farmers to Florists is designed to become more valuable the longer you use it.

Wish lists give you insight into what your florists may need before harvest. 

Instead of only finding out what a florist wants when they're ready to place an order, future needs can help you better understand demand as you plan and manage your crops.

A wish list isn't a guaranteed order. It's a planning and communication tool designed to help farmers and florists work together earlier.

When a florist chooses to share a recipe with you, you can view the flowers and quantities they're planning for that event. 

This can give you valuable insight into future demand and create opportunities to communicate about what you're growing before the event gets closer.

No, and that's intentional. Every farm, market, climate, customer base, and business is different. 

Farmers to Florists gives you better information to make your own growing decisions by bringing your crop plans, historical information, florist needs, and availability into one place.

That's exactly what the Dual account is for. 

You'll have access to the farmer tools for crop planning and inventory as well as the florist tools for recipes, event planning, and sourcing.

Start with our free Crop Planning course. It walks through the process of building and using a crop plan, whether you're brand new to flower farming or simply ready to get your growing information more organized. 

You'll also have access to step-by-step tutorials showing you how to use the Farmers to Florists tools along the way.
