Our Story

It all started with two people, a vision, and a van

Our founders, Ken and Randal, started Kendal Floral, providing fresh greens from a van and planting seeds with local florists. As the wholesale business grew, so did the connections they made–between growers and buyers, florists and their customers.

In the early 90s, Ken went on a new adventure to connect Kendal with a growing flower farm economy in South America. That's where he'd happen to sit next to Herbert on a bus tour of Ecuador. Over the course of a few days together, they'd plant the seeds of a lifelong friendship and business partnership that would change the floral industry.

Over the next three decades, their connections with the farms grew deeper, and more opportunities blossomed. Kendal became an industry leader of importers, distributors and suppliers–connecting flowers in South America with retailers and their customers.

We have grown from a small business into a big family. Even after all this time, we haven't shed our entrepreneurial roots. We are still planting seeds, growing innovation, and blossoming the connections that bring people together.

We believe in the protection and preservation of our resources

We're proud to operate Rainforest Alliance Certified farms that use sustainable agricultural practices and contribute back to our communities.

Our farms are rooted in strong, local communities

We have grown to over 40 farms in the last 30 years. Each one different, but all still grounded in our belief in creating sustainably grown products, healthy workplace environments, and giving back to the local communities we call home.
