Partners
Following is an outline of each of our partners with whom we have established exceptional long-term business relationships and have been doing business with for many years. In selecting our suppliers it is important for Grower Direct as a whole to get to know each and every one of them individually in order to establish a good working relationship and to ensure both sides understand the others needs and expectations.
In this regard we have flown to Miami and further south to Ecuador and Columbia to meet with the owners and with the people who run each of their respective businesses. We have been well received on each occasion and been given personal guided tours of the facilities in which production takes place. It is very important that, while we establish good relationships with the suppliers, that we also see for ourselves that the product we purchase is grown in accordance with required specifications and that the facilities in which they are produced are of the highest standards. These partners have been more than happy to accommodate and are obviously proud of their end product, and with good reason.
In short, we strive to provide you, the consumer, with excellence in quality and superiority while still making fresh cut flowers an affordable every day event. Our partners are vital in making this happen by providing us with their services and their commitment. They make it happen. By meeting our needs they allow us to meet your needs!
