Fresh Tulips USA

Fresh Tulips USA, LLC is specialized in the production
of “fresh tulip flowers”. All our tulips are hydroponic grown
which creates a completely clean product, no soil or chemicals are used.
The tulips we produce are of a premium quality in colors and shapes that
are adjusted to the taste of the American consumer.
At the moment most of the tulip flowers sold at the
East Coast are imported from The Netherlands or South America. These flowers
already have been traveling for 3 to 4 days after harvesting before they
arrive in the shops and for that reason are not that fresh anymore. The
normal vase life of a tulip is around 7 days; 3 to 4 days transit time
is 50% of their total life.
When producing locally, transit times will be shorter and vase life will
be longer. For this reason consumers will have more time to enjoy their
beautiful tulips.
“Fresh Tulips USA”
aims to have the flowers at our customers within 24 hrs after harvesting.
This to ensure top quality and a crispy fresh product.
In our facility in Virginia, we will produce tulips
38 weeks per year. The tulip bulbs we use will be imported from The Netherlands,
France and in Chile. All bulbs used will be of top size quality and varieties
will changes throughout the season.
A big part of the varieties we grow in Virginia will be different than
the standard import tulip flowers. In Virginia we can grow varieties that
due to climate or market circumstance are not grown in Europe or South
America.
All our tulip flowers are shipped standing-up in
a special designed hamper. Shipping the
flowers standing-up will keep the flowers straight so the problem of bended
bunches is eliminated.
The hamper also can be used as a display
since the top part can easily be zipped off. The hamper
also can be filled with water since it has a special coating. No repacking
for sales display is needed.
The hamper is 100% made of cardboard and
therefore can be recycled.

The facilities that we have in Stevensburg VA are state of the art. Our
Greenhouses can be opened completely (cabriolet greenhouse) so when we
have the nice Virginia weather we can actually grow our flowers outside.
The product will get direct sunlight that makes the leaves greener, flower
colour stronger and the plant sturdier. This direct influence of nature
has a very positive impact on the flower quality and as you might know,
the best quality is grown under natural circumstances.
Lets enjoy locally grown “fresh
tulips” a product America can be proud off!
