Cottage Farms?

I don’t see Cottage Farms listed in upcoming garden shows. Is C.F. still a vendor on QVC? Phillip Watson?

Thanks.

Cottage Farms had their first shows last week with Rachael Boesing hosting and two new Reps. It was very well done! Both new people have great talents and are interesting, knowledgeable and deserve to be given a great chance at QVC. One is from PA; the other is from IA. I wish them well.

I'm happy Phillip is able to pursue other interests, including writing his book! Anxious to purchase it when it is completed and actually published. Happy retirement!

I saw cottage farms on last week. Phillip is no longer the rep. He's pursuing his other interests. Or following his dreams.

@sweetee2 He stated on Facebook that he and QVC could not come to a contract agreement, so he is moving on, what a shame, he IS Cottage Farms, for me.

@EatWell The first Cottage Farms show of the 2019 season is on right now with Mary Beth Roe, on Q2. The new vendor who has replaced Phillip seems very knowledgable and personable. I still miss Phillip though.

@mousiegirl Maybe I read it wrong but I thought he said that he & Cottage Farms couldn't come to a contract agreement?

Yes. CF is on Q2 right now (4:30 pm Central time), and they were on earlier today, as well.

Philip Watson is no longer the vendor rep.

@colleena Go to the Garden Shows in this forum for more information.

@colleena I believe you are correct - it wasn't QVC but Cottage Farms that he had a contract dispute with. I will miss Phillip.

It just isn't the same without Phillip

I agree not the same without Philip. I so look forward to his knowledge and garden tips , ideas and great personality. Just not the same.

I was so disappointed when I did not see Phillip on today. Came on here to read why. I probably will not watch Cottage Farm shows much now. Like someone said, he was Cottage Farms and his entertaining ways and knowledge will be missed. Do wish the new reps best wishes, but I won't be catching the shows now.

I always so enjoyed Phillip Watson's presentations for Cottage Farms.

I will really miss him.

I hope that he is enjoying his life and his new endeavors.

@chlema Philip's facebook states that it was a contract with QVC.

I liked Phillip because he gave lots of great info and tips. You could tell he had a passion for gardening. We watched the Cottage Farm presentation last night with Carolyn and the lady who was representing them didn't seem to have as much of an interest in gardening. It seemed as if she was just saying what she had been told during training but didn't do it herself.

I concur. The new Cottage Farm vendors are like watching pain't dry. Without Phillip theyve lost me ad a customer. Not interested in vendors with no personality.

I will miss Phillip. I have noticed that some of the CF sun patiens are identified as “imported”. What???
