Floral Greens Farmers of Florida
We are a Florida Grown farming cooperative that strives to meet the highest quality standards and design trends. Our quality is unmatched, and our service oriented members go the extra mile for their customers.
How We Started The FGFF Coop
The Floral Greens Farmers of Florida began as an initiative prior to Hurricane Matthew hitting the eastern coast of Florida on October 8th, 2016.
We were thinking about banding together as a cooperative when Hurricane Matthew hit, devastating our area, and affecting each one of us and our businesses. We had to come together if we were going to survive this life altering setback. Many of our farmers had been raised in this industry and were operating as 2nd, 3rd and 4th generation Florida Farmers.
We needed to be able to overcome the damage that our most recent hurricane at that time had caused our farms. We joined forces helping one another, working together, establishing quality standards for the products that we all collectively sell, and have been working together since to promote our American, Florida Grown products with in the United States and around the world. We are confident that we grow the best product anywhere in the world.
