While the pandemic has been hard on many businesses, others are blossoming — just in time for Valentine’s Day.
Roses blanket Ryan Worsfold’s family farm on Vancouver Island where the family business has been growing them for more than 40 years, with February one of its busiest months.
“We produce around 70,000 stems for the week of Valentine’s Day on our little farm,” said Worsfold.
Eurosa Farms is one of only a handful of commercial rose farms in the country, according to Cary Gates, pest management director at Flowers Canada Growers — the national trade association of the Canadian floral industry.
