It is the last week in October and it seems business has slowed down across the entire country. There is still demand for wedding varieties like Black Baccara, Sahara, Polar Star and other whites and creams. We have plenty of fall colors available for sell. We can create a nice fall mix of roses if anyone is interested.

Now that Eufloria is part of the "blogging community", it will give us an opportunity to pull the curtain back and show some of the "behind the scenes" looks at our operation. The first picture shows our wonderful ladies grading and bunching some freshly harvested roses. These roses have been cooling down in the harvest cooler for at least 4 hours before they are brought out for grading. They grade the roses according to stem size from 32" (80cm) to 18" (47cm). Once they have graded 25 stems of the same size the roses are put on a conveyor belt to be wrapped, as you can see to the right.

Tuesday Morning

It is Tuesday morning and it is a cool morning. Production is very slow. I just logged in the stems cut yesterday which was just over 14,oo0 stems. Only 7 days ago we were curring over 22,000 stems a day, so the production is cut by a third. Fall colors are still hot and hard to come by. Call me if you are looking for anything special. Thanks for stopping by...

Monday Morning Update

I am here at the farm with Chad. Chad is giving me a crash course on the daily operations of running the sales office. I will be flying solo here in the sales office next week while Chad is in Amsterdam. We are out of certain varieties this morning. Alhambra, Naranga, Black Baccara,
Novia, Milva, Circus. These varieties are hotter than a firecracker in the middle of July. If you want/need any of these varieties, please call or send your order in early to get on the list. We are cutting these varieties every day but we have more orders than production at this time. If we have your order we can allocate stems to fill your request...
