Running a Successful Side Hustle: Cut Flower Farms




Team Flower show

Summary: Joining us on the podcast today is a guest with a uniquely run flower farm! Jeri Irby and her husband both have full-time jobs that they love and have a blooming (no pun intended!) flower farm that they run as their side hustle. Jeri is sharing her journey with flowers and why they decided to start a cut flower farm in 2017. Since then, their business has grown so much that they’ve needed to hire employees to help with the running of the farm. We’re talking about all things side-hustle, including how to balance a full-time job at the same time and taking skills from your career job and applying them in your side hustle. Jeri is sharing several tips for making a flower farm side hustle a success! The Oklahoma weather can have significant and drastic changes. You’ll also hear how Jeri and her husband navigate these changes, what a low tunnel is, and their favorite piece of farm equipment.
