How are my plants prepared for shipping? First we pull your plants from the shadehouses, then they are treated with a drench of beneficial nematodes to prevent an infestation of fungus gnats. (For more information on this treatment and our Farm Life Fungus Gnat Control Program, please visit the Customer Advantage page.) They are cleaned with a very light leaf shine, inspected by our sales staff, receive their retail ready stickers and tags if requested, sleeved, labelled and are ready to be picked up by your trucking company. How do I place an order? You can fax or call in your order to us no later than 4:00 the day prior to order being picked up. First time customers are required to prepay for their first shipment. Payment can be in the form of a check, money order or wire transfer. There is a fee for a wire transfer. We require a minimum of $300 order. Do you have any cut off times for placing orders? Our cut off time is 4:00 pm the day before your order ships. This is to insure that all plants are pulled, cleaned, inspected by our sales staff, sleeved and labelled before shipping. How are my plants packaged and protected during shipping? Packaging options include single sleeved, double sleeved, poly wrapped or boxed. We are adaptable to any specific requests so just ask us if your order needs something unique. Are you certified to ship to California? Farm Life’s entire line of Aralia is certified to ship to California. This includes 14” & 17” Ming, Balfour variegated, Balfour Lemon Lime, Fabian and Chicken Gizzard. We write our own phytos for California. Can you ship to Canada? We can ship all our plants to Canada. We write our own phytos so we only need a day’s notice before your truck arrives for pick up! Do you broker plants? All plants that we ship are grown on our property by us. We find this is the best way to control the quality and specifications of each plant. You will see that Farm Life plants are always consistent. Can you put a retail sku on my plants? We have a retail ready program that is very simple. For a minimal charge, we will add a care tag, upc sticker with barcode, sku and retail price to your plants. Your plants will be thoroughly cleaned so you can rest assured that your plants will be ready to sell the moment you receive them! What if I’ve never shipped directly from Florida? No problem! We make the process very easy for you. We can assist in finding a trucking company that will deliver to your area. We can help you figure out how many cubic feet your order will require. Just let us know what you need and we’ll help in every step of the way. We do it all of the time!
