Participants in the Wholesale Florist & Florist Supplier Association’s (WF&FSA) Management Institute recently made stops at two Certified American Grown flower farms – Kendall Farms in Fallbrook, California and Mellano & Company’s farm at San Luis Rey. The stops were part of the institute’s third annual “road trip.”
At the San Luis Rey farm, institute participants (aka young and aspiring wholesale executives) were given a 90-minute walking tour by farmer Mike A. Mellano.
At Kendall Farms, guests were treated to a bus tour of the farm and a walking tour of the warehouse with farmer Jason Kendall. Conversations continued during a networking happy hour and a farm dinner served on wood tables and chairs made on-site in the Kendall Farms workshop. Each attendee left with a complimentary Kendall Farm grocery tote and farm poster.
