Vineland, NJ – On September 23, Dave Cavagnaro, owner of the Flower Shoppe Ltd, went on a search for the source of his business’ keystone product: Roses. His search led him to Quito, Ecuador to meet with the flower growers and brokers and tour the farms from where he buys his flowers. Ecuador is a huge producer of Roses, Baby’s Breath, Hypericum and many other popular flowers. Because he buys straight from the grower, this trip helped Dave discover which farms produced the best quality flowers while maintaining fair wages and prices.
To those in the business, Ecuadorian flowers are known for being big, beautiful, colorful, and having a long vase life. “After touring the farms, It is very satisfying to find out that they care for their workers and the environment.” said Dave. He was able to tour four different farms on his trip.
While there, Dave also went to the Agriflora 2008 Flower Expo in Quito. The Expo, held in Ecuador’s largest exhibition center, had over 200 exhibitors from 15 different countries. It was a great opportunity to see the newest flowers and design ideas.
