I hope you're a member of Local Harvest so shoppers in the Hudson Valley can find you. Have you read Flower Confidential, by the way? It's a great report on the cut flower industry, very well written and very illuminating. Hi Mark,

Thanks for weighing in — and reemphasizing the title of the post. I hope you’re a member of Local Harvest so shoppers in the Hudson Valley can find you.

We are neighbors to another flower farm High Meadow. We do great weddings and we are reasonably priced. The flowers we grow are not sprayed with anything. We use natural predators to control insects. Why would we spray insectiside that kills predators faster than the pest. If you google green or local flowers you come up with a ton of florists who import flowers from Ecuador or Colombia. They market organic roses. Anyone who has ever tried to grow tea roses knows what a preposterous claim this is. If you are truly concerned about green ask how far your flowers will come from the field and will they be cooled during shipment We grow and sell flowers in the Hudson valley.
