Pricing

  • The collective operates on full transparency regarding pricing.  Farms receive 75% of the sales price in exchange for sales, marketing and distribution support provided by the collective.

  • A 5% handling fee will be added to all purchases.  This supports the collective so that we can pay farmers a higher commission.  Our goal is to support flower farmers and make farming a sustainable profession.

  • Delivery fees will be applied to every delivery.  Your account will be assigned your fee based on location.

 

Our Promise

  • The Atlanta Flower Collective was founded on the principle of delivering the highest quality local cut flowers while making local flowers easier to source.  Providing local products on a grand scale is a huge endeavor and we pledge to do our best.  If we under deliver, let us know.  It is the only way we can improve our processes. We look forward to changing the floral industry in Atlanta.
