Just read that 40% of cut flowers in the US are imported from Colombia, saw it in a trade magazine yesterday.
That's a huge number and honestly makes me rethink my whole supply chain. Anyone else try to source more locally after seeing stats like that?

My cousin runs a flower farm in Oregon and it's wild how much fuel gets burned just to get blooms to a city two hours away.

Read an article about how local flower farms can have a bigger carbon footprint than imports if their transport isn't efficient. It's not just about distance, but how packed the trucks are and how often they run. Makes you wonder about the whole supply chain.
