I woke up one morning and becoming a tulip farmer popped into my head. Where did that came from? I have no clue! Lol But I’ve been at a crossroad in my life, where I’ve been an X-Ray technologist for 14+ years, and I’m just tired of working for doctors and administrators that treat you badly.

Also, having a 100% Dutch dad, tulips are definitely a staple in my life. But me be a tulip farmer? I think God whispered that in my ear. Sorry for my rambling, but thank you again for your article.

I like them! We’ve been ordering our tulip and narcissus bulbs from them the past two years. Great guys!

What a hit! The tulips arrived in perfect condition and both mothers were thrilled! I’m not sure I would have tried it if it wasn’t for this post. Thank you for the encouragement!

I am just stumbling upon this article now but I had no idea there was such a variety of tulips! There really is no comparison between these and the supermarket crap.
What is a good price to sell the exotic varieties? And how big is a bunch?

I know they’re much smaller but they are so dear. Curious if you’ve tried to sell these too before deciding it wasn’t worth it.
Thanks!

Hi Mara – We just till the soil then use a shovel to dig out the trench, heaping the dug soil onto a tarp so it’s easy to shovel it back into the trench when we are done placing the bulbs. It’s really as easy as it sounds. Nothing fancy or complicated about it. Way faster than digging a little hole for each individual bulb.
