Dramm & Echter Farms in Carlsbad grows and ships premium cut flowers from 950,000 square feet of greenhouse space across multiple California and Baja California locations. The operation distributes gerbera daisies, Asiatic lilies, spray roses, and succulents to hospitality buyers throughout the West Coast, including hotel properties such as Hilton Garden Inn Carlsbad Beach on Carlsbad Boulevard. Formed as a partnership in 1972 after founders Gene Dramm and Jim Echter began farming in Encinitas in the mid-1960s, the company now cultivates more than 50 flower varieties year-round with direct farm access in Colombia and Ecuador. That vertically integrated growing operation feeds event-industry supply chains, with bulk stem orders supporting reception tablescapes coordinated by caterers such as Sessions Catering & Kitchen. Integrated pest management relies on predatory insects and biological controls across all greenhouse bays, reducing chemical pesticide application while maintaining USDA phytosanitary compliance on international shipments.
