Our Story
Buy Flowers That Last
The majority of flowers sold in grocery stores and flower shops are imported from countries such as Colombia and Ecuador. These countries have great climates for year-round growing and labor costs are less expensive. But with long travel journeys (largely without water), the flowers never seem to last more than a few days, leaving the impression that flowers are a poor investment. But actually, flowers bought directly from local growers can last up to 1-2 weeks.
Enjoy Organic & Diverse Varieties
The flower-growing processes in other countries use a lot of chemicals. This contributes to unsafe work environments and leaves the products with a chemical residue. The flowers are also heavily treated with insecticides to pass through customs. And because only the sturdiest flowers survive the trip, the options found in stores are often very limited. But when you purchase from local flower farms, the products are more organic and come in a wider variety, including more delicate, natural options.
Reduce Your Carbon Footprint
Flowers imported from farms in other countries leave a large carbon footprint. Jet transportation burns fossil fuels, refrigeration consumes energy, and the end-to-end process creates a lot of trash from all the various packaging materials. Buying local flowers helps you feel good about doing your part to cut back on carbon emissions and unnecessary waste.
Support Your Community
The inability to match grocery store flower prices has put a lot of domestic flower farms and small flower shops out of business. Shopping from local flower farms helps preserve local green space, supports your ecosystem, and protects the jobs of independent farmers in your community.
