Why become a member of APFCQ
Be part of a community
Joining l’Association des productrices.eurs de fleurs coupées du Québec (APFCQ) comes with many benefits for those who share our passion for growing flowers. By becoming a member, you will join a vibrant and socially conscious community working towards the same goal: providing high-quality, locally grown products to our customers.
Visibility
One of the main benefits is the enhanced visibility provided by our interactive map of member farms. Being listed on this platform increases visibility, making it easier for farmers to connect with potential buyers who are looking for locally grown flowers. This makes it much more convenient for customers to locate a flower farm near them that provides the desired service.
Further training
Members of the association not only have the benefit of increased visibility, but also get access to training courses to enhance their skills and knowledge of cut flower growing. The association also organizes networking events, providing members with valuable opportunities to connect with other industry professionals, exchange ideas, and cultivate partnerships.
Reference tools
As part of your membership, you will receive a reference price list. In addition, in the future, we’re planning on sharing detailed crop sheets to help you optimize your practices and boost your yields. We’re exploring the idea of establishing a branding initiative to distinguish our members’ products. We also aspire to provide guidance and mentorship to support our new growers.
Join us today and become part of a passionate community of farmers dedicated to offering the highest quality cut flowers, while enjoying a host of benefits to support your farming business.
