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