🌼 Field Trip Spotlight: Blooming Creek Flower Farm

Our class visited Blooming Creek Flower Farm, where Megan and Mallory shared how they’ve grown a thriving flower business while still working full-time jobs. Their passion for flowers and community shines through in everything they do—whether it’s subscriptions, bouquets, or providing excellent customer service.

💡 Student Takeaways:
•🌸 Customer service is everything. Replace bad products, keep customers happy, and they’ll come back year after year.
•🌱 Bad years happen. Sometimes crops fail or risks don’t pay off—what matters is how you respond.
•🤝 Build a network. Connecting with other businesses and farmers provides support and new ideas.
•💵 Know your worth. Do the research, set fair prices, and don’t undervalue your product.
•🎓 Keep learning. From LLCs to taxes to business classes, knowledge is power in entrepreneurship.
•❤️ Passion matters. A business doesn’t always have to be a career—it can be a side job fueled by joy and community.

Our students saw firsthand that entrepreneurship can blossom in unexpected ways when passion meets persistence.

🌷 Huge thanks to Megan and Mallory for welcoming us and showing what it takes to grow both flowers and a business!
