Our Process & Location Set Us Apart
From Our Own Fields
It all starts with our own bulbs; harvested at the end of the previous growing cycle. We harvest bulbs from our fields for separation, cleaning, and preparation for planting. Using our own bulbs not only drastically reduces waste & carbon emissions from shipping, it helps us create the strongest, most disease-resistant flowers. This means we can efficiently produce beautiful, vibrant flowers using the most responsible farming methods available. Our premium flowers means that our glads’ have a long vase-life, making them a tremendous value for flower lovers everywhere.
Returning to the Ground
To product the best flowers for our customers with the longest life, we rotate plantings through various fields to ensure nutrient-rich soil at every planting. Once fields are graded and prepared for planting, our own bulbs are returned to the soil with our proprietary blend of fertilizers to begin their next growing cycle.
Time is of the Essence
At just the right time, our flowers are hand-harvested and quickly transported to our nearby warehouse for sorting, packing, and shipping to locations around the United States.
Scanning and Sorting
We're investing in the technology of tomorrow to ensure accurate & timely sorting of our flowers so we can reduce handling and expedite delivery to our customers.
Bunches of Joy
Our flower bunches are tagged and placed in flower sleeves if requested, then they're off in cold storage shipments so they arrive fresh and ready to open at their destination.
