Capabilities
From seed to store to gardener…At Grower Direct Farms we provide the highest quality plants by managing every part of the process. From the moment a seed is sown it is cared for by a team of professional growers in our state-of-the-art greenhouse facilities. Our data analysts monitor store inventories and anticipate sales at hundreds of retail locations, and our shipping team can pack over 1,000 custom orders each day. We distribute those orders the next day to points across the Northeast using our own fleet of trucks. Our merchandising teams meet those orders at each store to unpack, display, and care for our product until the customer chooses a plant to take home and enjoy.

Replenishment & Inventory
Managing the logistics of a retail product that is alive, seasonal, and weather sensitive can be overwhelming. That’s why we bring our expertise and unique tools to control product flow. We have designed custom data management and business intelligence tools allowing us to measure millions of data points each day. We use this information to build tailored daily orders for each of our retail locations. Working together with store managers, we increase sales while minimizing retail shrink and avoiding costly overstock.

Resource Conservation
We strive to be good stewards of the resources we all rely on and are committed to using renewable energy sources. Our facilities use electricity generated by our solar field and our heating system runs on renewable fuels that we source locally. We water our plants with irrigation systems that precisely control water usage then we recapture any excess to ensure we only use the water we need. By implementing sustainable practices, we deliver the highest quality plants while still caring for the environment.
