Ep. 15 - "Growing" a New Generation of Domestic Farmers with Alex Webb

Send us Fan MailIt's Mother's Day season, which means everything is cranked up to 11.  From the amount of flowers in and out of the coolers to the hours working, to the amount of cafecito drank, and the number of podcast episodes recorded per week.  That's right!  We're giving you a special bonus episode to get you through the rest of the holiday.In today's episode, you have to think back to our earlier episodes where Murray and local, domestic farmers were discussed.  From that conversation, a seed was planted and today the plant bloomed in the form of our fascinating guest, Alex Webb aka Youtube's "The Flower Guy". Alex is a young (25) domestic farmer from Virginia, growing beautiful dahlias and seasonal flowers as well as a massive Youtube following.  He came down to Miami to learn a thing or two about Wholesale flower sales and how the logistics and operations work, so he can help his followers, (other independent, domestic flower growers) learn how to help take their flowers from the farmer's market to your local flower wholesaler.  Listen in and you'll hear why we knew we needed Alex on the podcast.  For more info on Alex check out his Youtube channel:   https://www.youtube.com/c/WindyBrookRidgeHomesteadEpisode Chapters:Intro - 0:00Meeting Alex - 2:30Alex’s Backstory - 10:20Growing his Business - 21:50YouTube and Marketing - 37:40 What Alex is Growing - 48:35Building Customers - 54:30Advice for Beginners - 1:20:55Outro - 1:22:15​
