Kenya: From vegetable grower to growing flowers on 200 ha

Oserian has been a member to the Kenyan Farms price list at Van Vliet Flower Group for some time now. The group paid them a visit during a trip to Kenya in June. The company grows a wide selection of flowers on 200 hectares, while keeping the workers and the environment in mind.

They started as a humble vegetable growing farm in 1969 with 5 hectares and 6 employees which turned to producing flowers in 1982. The founders had a vision, a dream and right now, their Oserian Dream has come true.

From statice, gypsophilia and other fillers to big head roses, Oserian handles each and every flower they produce with the utmost care to ensure the best quality possible. There are several Eco Friendly processes each flower goes through which are done by skilled employees.

Devoting 8000 hectares for housing, free medical and educational facilities onsite and working hard for nature preservation, Oserian has been awarded the Fair Trade and multiple other certificates.
