From where do you source your flowers?Updated 3 months ago

Did you know that 80% of cut flowers in the United States are imported from other countries, mostly in Latin America? The rapid growth of the floriculture industry to meet U.S. demand has often harmed the well-being of farm workers and the environment.
 
We are proud to source our flowers from high-quality, sustainable-minded farms in both the U.S. and South America, all of whom have Rainforest Alliance Certification, and who treat the environment and their workers with respect.
 
To earn Rainforest Alliance Certification, farms must protect ecosystems and wildlife habitats, conserve water and soil, promote decent and safe working conditions, and ensure that farms are good neighbors to rural communities and wildlands. We are lucky to work with amazing farm partners who meet this rigorous standard of excellence!
 
We also ship “farm-direct.” This eco-friendly shipping method reduces carbon emissions by bypassing many stops in the traditional floral supply chain and reducing the total number of stems being cut, as every cut stem is meant for a customer! 
Additionally, we offset emissions from our shipments to neutralize our shipping footprint and make our shipments carbon neutral.
