July marks the second anniversary of the Certified American Grown program and branded campaign. The California Cut Flower Commission is a sponsor of the Certified American Grown program.
Launched in 2014 by a national coalition of flower farmers and organizations, the program is now certifying millions of stems of American Grown Flowers and providing the only 3rd-party guarantee that assures buyers of the domestic origins of the flowers they are purchasing.
The campaign now represents 54 certified farms in 16 states.
"Certified American Grown has helped to unify flower farmers on a campaign that consumers can understand and identify," shared Certified American Grown administrator Kasey Cronquist. "It is exciting to see so many flowers going out from so many farms with such a consistent and compelling message and then to see such a positive response."
