Highlights to be proud of:
Andean Highlands, Ecuador
In 2009, Organic Bouquet added an outreach program aimed at helping the farmers
in the Andean Highlands of Ecuador finance the purchase of flower seeds. Organic
Bouquet financed 100% of the seeds empowering these farmers to grow an
exportable crop and make a fair livable return, all while preserving the local
ecosystem.
Andean Highlands, Ecuador & Colombia
In 2010, Organic Bouquet will expand their outreach program to include a no
interest loan to finance the cost of certification. This program will further
