Our Farms
Esmeralda's diverse growing regions in Colombia, Ecuador, Costa Rica, Mexico and Peru enables us to take advantage of different climatic conditions and soil compositions. Some products are grown in greenhouses to protect them from variable weather conditions, while others are better suited to be grown in open fields. Esmeralda uses minimal quantities of pesticides on our farms. Oftentimes, if chemicals are used excessively, a visible thin, white residue builds up on the leaf surface which is very unsightly, reduces vase life, and can be harmful to humans and pets. You'll immediately notice that Esmeralda roses will not have this film; our leaves are healthy, clean, with a shiny green color . On average, we use 75% less pesticides than an average flower farm. We only use chemicals certified and approved for use by the EPA. |
