Our Produce
Traditional commercial farming uses chemical-based pesticides to ward off insects, yield higher crop count and eliminate weeds, but with it come negative repercussions on the immediate and regional environment.
The Freshest. Chemical-Free.
Even without immediate local access to farmers markets, there has been an influx of online platforms and outlets that are a great way to connect people to high quality produce.

Flowers
Opting for organic flowers means avoiding plants that have been grown through intensive processes which exhaust and erode the soil. Organic flower farming builds soil fertility naturally, using composting techniques and crop rotation, reducing our dependence on non-renewable and energy-intensive artificial fertilisers that cause further detriment to the environment.

For Valentine’s Day alone, Americans imported more than 120 million roses, most of them from South American farms where normal procedures call for fumigating greenhouses with a range of pesticides, herbicides, and fungicides (sometimes with workers still inside) before submerging the flowers in preservatives to keep them from rotting during shipment. Such practices are taking their toll on the workers who must handle these toxic chemicals daily.
