We have strict quality control measures in place, starting with buying the best bulbs on the market. The bulbs are then stored in rooms where we control the temperature, humidity and ventilation. Once planted, the crops are supervised on a daily basis to monitor growth and determine the perfect picking stage for harvest. The harvested flowers enter our processing lines to be bunched and inspected by our Quality Control Manager before entering our well-controlled cooler rooms. The final inspection takes place on the packing line when the flowers are boxed up for shipping and then loaded on the trucks that deliver the flowers to our customers. We sell millions of stems every year nationwide. We service all 50 states and parts of Canada via numerous refrigerated trucks, UPS, FedEx, OnTrac and Air Carriers read more
