I have a good relationship with my local wholesaler and have used them for years, Why should I change?
You should continue to buy from any vendor that supplies you with excellent products and services. However, it is always a good idea to have several suppliers that you trust. We understand that trust comes slowly and has to be earned.
For most of our customers, Virgin Farms supplies between 20-30% of their fresh flower needs. Some customers tell us they use our products for the "TOP 5%" of their most valued and demanding customers that want only the BEST.
Will there be a steady weekly source of supply on varieties I like, especially during a Holiday time?
We carry over 80 varieties of roses weekly. In addition to our retail customers, we specialize in supplying large wedding and special event studios with the variety and quantity they need. Our experienced account managers can guide you in the selection and availability of all of our products.
What is the price structure, and are there any hidden costs?
Prices vary according to length, variety, availability and weekly volume purchased. Seasonal variation may also occur during holiday seasons.
In general our rose prices ranges from .49 to .99 cents, including shipping. Please contact us for pricing tailored to your product needs.
For other products we carry, please contact us for current pricing. There are no hidden costs. We charge only a packing/cooling charge of $20 per box, regardless of size. You DO NOT incur shipping charges of any kind.
Can I depend on fixed prices if I order on a weekly basis?

Our most popular rose pack contains 200 stems. However, we do offer boxes that allow you to purchase fewer roses. These boxes combine roses and other products such as lilies and fillers to complete the box. We also offer box specials as low as $119.00 landed to your door.
