At iBuyFlowers, we are proud to work with some incredible women-owned flower farms that not only provide beautiful blooms but also create strong, sustainable businesses in their communities. In honor of this special day, we’d like to highlight a few of these remarkable farms, whose passion for flowers and commitment to quality have shaped the industry. Nikita Flowers, Ecuador: Exceptional Roses, Exceptional Practices Photo source: @nikitaflowers.ec Nikita Flowers, based in Ecuador, is a shining example of a women-led business. Owned by Sol Perez, the farm employs 70 individuals, with the majority of the team being women. Sol is committed to ensuring that all of her employees are treated with respect and dignity, complying with all Ecuadorian labor laws. But she goes above and beyond the basics – offering free lunch, transport, and uniforms to all of her employees. The farm places a strong emphasis on continuous training for their collaborators, ensuring that every rose, from the moment it is planted to the final delivery to customers, meets the highest standards of quality. Agricola El Chaupi, Ecuador: A Family Business with Heart General Manager: Elizabeth Proaño Agricola El Chaupi, a family-owned farm since 2013, is a testament to the power of generational businesses. Specializing in ranunculus and anemone, Agricola El Chaupi’s commitment to quality and sustainability is unmatched.

Ecoagro Farms, Ecuador: Empowering Women Through Agriculture Photo source: @ecoagrofarms Ecoagro Farms is a wonderful example of how women are leading the way in sustainable agriculture. Located in Ecuador, Ecoagro focuses on environmental stewardship while producing high-quality flowers. With women at the forefront of the farm's operations, Ecoagro strives to create a positive impact on both the environment and their employees. By ensuring that their farming practices are both ethical and sustainable, they continue to grow their business with integrity and a strong commitment to quality. Pacific Garland, Portland, Oregon: A Passion for FLoral Design and Craftsmanship Founder and Principal Designer: Jung Houck In Portland, Oregon, Pacific Garland is led by Jung Houck, one of our dedicated sales team members. Jung brings over 20 years of experience to the floral industry, having worked as both a grower and a floral designer. Before founding Pacific Garland, Jung was the co-founder of Accent Gardens, a 35-acre farm in Boulder, Colorado. There, she worked with the Sisters of the Abbey of St. Walburga convent, farming their land in exchange for providing flowers for the chapel. Over the years, she has honed her craft in creating beautiful floral designs, including wreaths made from juniper berry and oak, as well as stunning wedding and event flowers. When she relocated to Portland with her family, Jung's passion for creating beauty with what the earth provides naturally was reignited. Today, through Pacific Garland, she creates custom garland that enhances any special occasion, with an emphasis on using locally sourced materials from the forests of the Pacific Coast.
