quality, consistency, INTEGRITY and BEAUTIFUL PRODUCT
OUR STORY
During the early 1970s, the City of Miami began to evolve as one of the most important international trading centers in the United States. Among the sectors driving this growth was the fresh cut flower industry, which has evolved into one of the most dynamic and competitive sectors within the South Florida economy.
Founded in 1973, Riverdale Farms was among the first Miami-based companies to begin importing fresh cut flowers from South America and the Caribbean for resale to customers throughout the United States and Canada.
Beginning primarily as a carnation importer, Riverdale later added other types of flowers to its product line like spray carnations, roses, alstroemerias, chrysanthemums, gypsophilia, statice, asters, etc. Riverdale emerged as an early innovator by pioneering the distribution of carnations treated with S.T.S., a process that subsequently became the industry standard. In 1981, we introduced the Super Carnations formula which was a significant advancement, enhancing their vase life performance.
In the 1990s, as flower sales surged in supermarket chains, Riverdale launched a specialized floral program featuring a custom bouquet line tailored for mass-market retailers in the United States. Our Marketing department designs these bouquets based on market trends, seasonal variations, and specific holiday requirements.
At the heart of our operations lies a commitment to integrity, ensuring that every flower we grow and sell meets the highest standards of excellence. We foster a friendly working environment that nurtures professional development, allowing our team to flourish alongside our flowers.
