Our Story
A history of quality and a passion for floral.
It all started with a deep-rooted passion for forestry, farming, and people.
In 2009, we purchased our first farm near the iconic Mt. St. Helens in Washington. Fast forward to 2014, when we acquired Continental Wholesale Florist in San Antonio, Texas, and began a fresh chapter as Continental Floral Greens. Under new leadership and a clear vision for the future, we assembled an amazing team and grew from a single farm into a multi-farm, multi-service floral company.
Today, Continental Floral Greens is a leading grower of premium Americangrown cut floral products, harvested from our farms across the United States and complemented by trusted domestic and global partners.
Our focus on the customer, our team members, and farms is paramount and is the foundation for our core values. Since 2014 CFG has experienced remarkable growth expanding our operations throughout the US and abroad.
