Organic Flowers
Most flowers sold in the U.S. are imported from as far away as Ecuador and China. Why contribute to the waste of energy involved flying and trucking flowers great distances, when your local farmer grows wonderful bouquets just down the road?
Industrial flower farms also typically use large quantities of pesticides, exposing both their workers and the environment to nasty poisons. And flowers grown abroad often use pesticides that have been banned in the U.S. --- or use pesticides in quantities far exceeding U.S. regulations, and without any sort of protection for the workers exposed to them.
The flowers grown by LocalHarvest family farmers are not only fresher than those grown in faraway greenhouses --- they are healthier for the people who grow them and healthier for the people who buy and enjoy them.
