Once a flower is separated from its roots, the clock begins to tick on its useful future. At Fair Field Flowers, we cut your flowers when you need them, at the peak of their perfection, straight into water. No overnight trips in cardboard boxes, no long waits in the sun on airline loading docks, no fumigations, middlemen, brokers or consolidators.
Everything we sell is from a plant we grow. Here. Just down the road. No fuel was burned jetting from Ecuador or Holland. No diesel consumed on the long, long haul from California or Florida. And here we can choose how we grow that plant. You don’t have to wonder and imagine the worst. Just ask. We’ll tell you, and I guarantee you’ll be pleased.
As you know, most cut flower growers worldwide use pesticides and chemicals that leave a residue on their flowers days after purchase by the consumer. Sustainable growing methods create a safer product for consumers, reduce pollution of the atmosphere and ground, and create an invaluable knowledge base for growers on sustainable methods for controlling pests, increasing harvest, and reducing weeds. Sustainable agriculture methods employ the following strategies to reduce pests and weeds: crop rotation, selective cultivar planting, cover crops, weedy margins, compost fertilizer, individual plant pruning, and close monitoring of flowers. Fair Field Flowers utilizes all of these method as well as integrated pest management and applies only organic herbicides, pesticides and fertilizers and only as needed.
