Proud to be a Farmer !!

After struggling for 6 long months for this  Gerbera project from the intiation.. i am finally selling my produce and seeing  money !!  Damn.. it feels so good to see  some real good money  flowing into  your pocket each and every single day. All you have to do is  reap the harvest send it to market and boom!!!!
November December January and February are Supposed to be good season for flowers  especially Gerberas and i have entered the market in the right season. With an average daily income of about 15 thousands i have to say i  have hit the milestone i wanted to touch.

Finally i feel so proud to be a farmer !!  Now thats  what i call earning...

I chose to send the flowers to the local market only and i sell about 2000-2500 Gerberas  each day for now and  expected  production per day  is  about 3000-3500  which i might  touch in another couple of weeks. Here are  the latest  photos from  the farm and the production  packing and  dispatch !!
All the six colors of  blooming Gerberas in the  farm





Red  Gerberas- savannah  variety has almost 90cm- 1 metre stem.


A full view from the centre of  the farm.




Each  carton can hold about 350  gerberas in 35 bunches

Freshest Gerberas ever !!

All packs  ready for dispatch to the market.



Fogging is very important in regulating the  humidy and temparature in a Gerbera farm

    First off congrats for your grand success... the fields look so enticing; i'd seen similar ones in palampur and i wanted to jump in joy among the flowers.. Gerberas and carnations were the first flowers that provoked my love for gardening and till today they remain special.. they receive a lot of special attention in my garden.. it's the same images of those packed flowers that provoked me to grow my own as florists charge ridiculously high prices for these flowers which are so popular in demand.. it's another story that i still buy from florists because i can hardly ever have the heart to cut them from my own garden until they are blooming abundantly..

    Thanks Yasmeen .. Gerberas always entice soo much since my college days and it is that passion and the market demand that have led me into working on this.

    Now i have a special respect for these flowers !! ... keep in touch pal ..

    Hey Raj...Awesome work. I loved your stuff & the whole efforts & results that went with it.

    I was curious how your polyhouse looks like now. Are you still into flowers or moved to other plants/crops.
    I am amused with this concept & planning to enter into it. Just wanted to see..how it fares in the long run.

    Thanks
