The Farm
Montanel is located outside Bogotá, Colombia's Capital City. Due
to our location close to the Equator we have year round direct
sunlight. Bogotá is located on a mountain plateau, with an
altitude over sea level of more than 2.600 meters. The average
temperature year round is 60º F.
These
ideal weather and climatic conditions allow us to produce very
high quality fresh cut lilies at all times of year since we have
no seasons.
Our
lilies are cut as buds. They are carefully packed in cardboard
boxes. Sent to our local international
airport, on a 20 minute drive from our farm. They are placed on
pallets and flown to Miami on a 3 hour international flight from
Bogotá.
From
there on they can be delivered practically anywhere in the
continental USA. They may be handled and preserved in cold rooms,
so by the time the final consumer gets them, the lilies are open
and fresh. |
