Oregon Floral Farms, a USDA Certified Organic Producer of Annual and Perennial Cut
Flowers Begins Shipping Directly From Their Farm Beginning Spring 2004

Willamette Valley, OR - Jan. 6, 2004 /Send2Press Newswire/ -- Oregon Floral Farms
(www.oregonfloralfarms.com) today announced a new line of "Organic Bouquets," which
will be available to wholesale customers in Spring 2004.  The Organic Bouquets will
provide a new option to natural/organic retail marketplaces seeking to provide
floral bouquets for environmentally conscious consumers.  The Organic Bouquet
flowers are grown, harvested and prepared without the use of synthetic fertilizers
or chemicals, and are selected for compatibility with the farm's local environment.

This expansion of Oregon Floral Farms accompanies its recent certification as a
USDA Certified Organic producer of annual and perennial cut flowers by Oregon
Tilth.

Although the 20-acre farm has long employed environmentally-friendly cultivation
techniques, the organic certification allows its customers to know for certain that
Oregon Floral Farm's organic products are grown with maximum attention to the
health of the environment. Additionally, this reaffirms the commitment toward the
sustainability of the rich Willamette Valley.

"We have heard from many of our retail customers that more and more people are
looking for organically produced bouquets," said Kristin Gobreski, owner/designer
of Oregon Floral Farms.  "Our Organic Bouquet Program allows us to provide the kind
of environmentally responsible products that we can customize to fulfill our
customers specific needs."

Oregon Floral Farms' farm operations manager Clifford Gobreski added, "We have a
huge advantage in that we grow the flowers that we use in our bouquets; our
customers don't have to pay a middleman, and we can produce bouquets from freshly
cut flowers to maximize freshness."

The transition to organic production, according to Gobreski, should be relatively
seamless for the operation, which has traditionally utilized low-impact farming
techniques.  Furthermore, the floral design is intertwined with the growing
schedule, adding flexibility to both aspects of the operation.

Established in 1985, Oregon Floral Farms has specialized in perennial and annual
cut flowers.  Owned and operated by Kristin Gobreski, the farm has expanded its
production while maintaining a commitment to environmentally sound farming
practices.  Its soil amendments, flower selection, and cultivation practices are
intended to maintain the quality of the water and soil on the productive 20-acre
site.
