For flower farmers

A bouquet is a recipe of stems.

You count in stems and bunches, sell in bouquets, and everything is days from compost. A bouquet is literally a recipe — five focals, eight fillers, five greens — and the market bucket that doesn't sell by Sunday is gone. MadeKeeper prices the recipe, respects the perishable clock, and counts the tuber sale as the second season it is.

How MadeKeeper maps to your field and cooler

Stems by the bucketThe morning cut logs in stems by variety. Costs attribute from the season's real inputs — seed, corms, amendments, water — spread across what the field actually gave.
Bouquets as recipesFive focal, eight filler, five greens, a wrap and a band — the bouquet recipe pulls stems down and knows its cost, so market pricing stops being vibes.
The perishable clockUnsold Saturday bouquets are shrink by Monday, and MadeKeeper logs them that way. Your season's numbers show true sell-through, week by week.
Market, subscriptions, and the tuber saleMarket days, bouquet-share subscriptions, weddings, and the fall dahlia tuber sale each run their own channel — two harvests a year from one field, both counted.

One bouquet, to the penny

Say you build a market bouquet:

  • 5 focal stems @ 70¢ (attributed)$3.50
  • 8 filler stems @ 25¢$2.00
  • 5 greens @ 15¢$0.75
  • Kraft wrap and band$0.55
Cost per bouquet$6.80

At $18 at the market, each bouquet clears $11.20 before the booth fee — and the bucket of six that didn't sell logs as the shrink it became, so August's real numbers include July's compost.

If you sell tubers or plants alongside cut stems, that side often runs under a nursery program — MadeKeeper keeps the sales and lot records that paperwork asks about, separate from your cut-flower sales.

Straight about what's live

Materials and true cost per piece, products (in bulk or one-of-a-kind), sales that drain stock, the was-this-fair-worth-it event math, mileage, expenses, and the year-end tax packet — all in the app today. Etsy and Square sync, your own storefront, a booth card reader, and shipping labels are building, shaped with founding makers. Nothing above describes a feature that doesn't exist without saying so.

Questions flower farmers ask

How do I cost a stem I grew?

Spread the season's real inputs — seed and corms, amendments, water — across the stems you actually cut, by variety or in aggregate. It's an honest attribution, not false precision, and it makes every bouquet's margin real.

Can MadeKeeper handle bouquet subscriptions?

Yes — a bouquet share is a subscription channel: recurring revenue against the weekly recipe cost, tracked over the season alongside market days.

What about the dahlia tuber sale?

The fall dig is a second harvest. Tubers log as their own products with their own prices — and their sale often out-earns the summer stems, which is worth seeing in plain numbers.
