About Us
La Gaitana Farms is a Colombian cut flower grower, supplying high-quality cut flowers to more than 21 countries. Established in 1984.
Our history
La Gaitana Farms was founded in 1984 by four partners, starting with 4 hectares of greenhouse production. In 1986, one of the partners bought a larger stake and took over as the company's general manager. After facing many challenges, the company consolidated its operation, and in 2003, it purchased more land to meet market demand. In 2005, we built a modern post-harvest facility with the highest quality standards to provide a continuous cold chain at every step of the process.
Continued investment and growth have led the farm to achieve a solid infrastructure over the years.
During these 40 years of history, two fundamental guidelines have accompanied the development of La Gaitana Farms:
the quality of our flowers and outstanding service to our customers.
Today, we still have available land for greenhouse expansion in the upcoming years.
