University of Maine Cooperative Extension will host a webinar on starting and managing a successful flower farming operation from 6–7:15 p.m. on Monday, Dec. 1.
“Right-Sizing Your Flower Farm: What I Learned from Three Different Setups” will feature Julia Baecher, owner of East of Eden Flower Farm, who will share insights from more than a decade of experience growing her business, from a six-acre leased plot in 2012 to her current operation.
Each stage of Baecher’s journey brought new lessons in efficiency, investment and profitability. In this session, she will share what worked, what didn’t and provide a practical framework to help new and aspiring flower farmers make informed decisions and build sustainable, right-sized operations from the start.
The webinar is part of UMaine Extension’s Commercial Horticulture Webinar Series, held on the first Monday of each month.
