DRAFT <br /> 24 <br />can’t really say how many plants, how many flowers each plant is going to produce. It depends. For 1 <br />example, a sunflower produces 1 stem, so if you plant 200 sunflowers, you have 200 stems. Other 2 <br />flowers are cut and come again. So the more you cut them the more you grow. You might get 20, 3 <br />30 blooms, 40 blooms. It just depends. So that’s a tough question to answer. 4 <br /> 5 <br />LeAnn Brown: I’m sure. Let me try it this way. 6 <br /> 7 <br />Kara Brewer: Yes. 8 <br /> 9 <br />LeAnn Brown: When’s your first wedding planned? 10 <br /> 11 <br />Kara Brewer: May. 12 <br /> 13 <br />LeAnn Brown: May what? 14 <br /> 15 <br />Kara Brewer: The very beginning of May. The first weekend. I don’t know off the top of my head, 16 <br />but it’s the beginning of May. 17 <br /> 18 <br />LeAnn Brown: The first weekend in May. How many flowers do you anticipate would be available to 19 <br />a bride for any aspect of her wedding for a wedding in May? From your farm, how many? 20 <br /> 21 <br />Kara Brewer: We should be able to provide 75 percent of that bride’s flowers. 75-80 percent. 22 <br /> 23 <br />LeAnn Brown: 75 percent would be how many different? What would that include? 24 <br /> 25 <br />Kara Brewer: It depends on what the bride wants. 26 <br /> 27 <br />LeAnn Brown: Then… If you’re using the number 75 percent you have to have some assumption in 28 <br />your mind as to approximately what she might want. 29 <br /> 30 <br />Kara Brewer: We do. And that’s actually part of why we chose weddings as part of agro-tourism. 31 <br />Because a definite tying between a flower farm and having weddings, the bride comes to us, we’re 32 <br />actually able to sell our flowers to that bride. It’s very much related and we’re actually able… 33 <br /> 34 <br />LeAnn Brown: Alright, excuse me, but I ask you a question and I would like for you to answer my 35 <br />question and my question is, if you are contending that you could provide 75 percent of the flowers 36 <br />necessary for a May wedding from your farm I am asking you what, how many different things 37 <br />would that be? Is it a bouquet? Is it table flowers? Is it corsages? Is it the other bouquets? Is it the 38 <br />full panoply of flowers? 39 <br /> 40 <br />Kara Brewer: Yes. There’s… It’s whatever the bride… You know, we sit down and consult with 41 <br />them? 42 <br /> 43 <br />LeAnn Brown: So no matter what she wants, no matter how many flowers she might want, whether 44 <br />she’s having a simple wedding or whether she’s having an elaborate, flowered wedding you 45 <br />believe that you could provide 75 percent of that? 46 <br /> 47
