our food and farming systems. Whether you grow diversified veggies, milk cows, or harvest beautiful blooms, your operation could benefit from increased collaboration with other producers. Jill Coutts and Lisa Derx of Chesapeake Flower Exchange will share their experience making this happen.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In addition to a farm tour, you\u2019ll learn how Tanglewood Flower Farm became part of a cooperative and how they work together to provide wholesale customers with locally sourced and sustainably produced flowers. You\u2019ll also hear from <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">about the benefits and challenges of working collectively to serve customer needs.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The Chesapeake Flower Exchange is an online wholesale flower business, selling to florists in the mid-Atlantic region. The 10-member cooperative grew out of an informal network of flower growers who pooled resources to meet the needs of larger wholesale customers. Recognizing the value of collaboration, this group of flower farmers formed their member-owned flower cooperative in January of 2023 and began operating in April of that year.<\/span><\/p>\n<h4>Notes<\/h4>\n<ul>\n<li aria-level=\"1\"><strong>The price of dinner is included in the registration.<\/strong><\/li>\n<li aria-level=\"1\"><strong>Please wear weather-appropriate clothing and footwear\u00a0<\/strong>for the tour Tanglewood Flower Farm.
