Rich Mead
Owner
I have been in the flower business since 1987. I spent my first 15 years in the growing and shipping segment of the industry in Salinas and Watsonville, CA. After moving to Nashville, TN, I started working in the wholesale segment of the industry. I spent 11 years as a manager with a major wholesale chain before helping to open Fresh Pack Flowers in West Sacramento. In November of 2018, I started Freshline Floral Products and relocated to the Floral Supply Syndicate building. Our goal is to be a resource and a partner to all of our valued customers.

Floral Goddess
I began my adventure in the floral industry in 2005, working wholesale specializing in wet trucks based out of Galt, CA. From there I moved on to design with a local florist in Fair Oaks, CA. I also spent many years volunteering for Trinity Cathedral Church in Sacramento, CA, and still do from time to time. After trying to find a different path outside the floral industry, I found myself pulled back in once again to wholesale flowers on wet trucks as well as helping in the retail department in Davis, CA. I expanded my knowledge in the industry by becoming the main buyer for both the wholesale and the retail stores. Almost six years later, Freshline Floral Products came into my path and I saw an opportunity I could not pass up. In a short amount of time, I feel that I have found my niche among the boys of Freshline and I am at home. I strive to build strong, trusting relationships with my customers as well as my vendors. Together we make up this industry.

Florganizer
I began working in the floral industry around 17 years ago. Starting out at Greenleaf and staying until their closing in 2010. I immediately moved on to Flora Fresh for another 10 years. I left for a bit to pursue business in the restaurant field but found myself coming back to flowers after a four-year hiatus and now here I am at Freshline Floral. I enjoy putting my floral knowledge to work as well as my plant knowledge after spending time managing plant departments in my previous endevours. I love and enjoy my job.
