Simba Farm in Nyahururu Simba Farm grows over 40 hectares of premium roses. At this farm there are three categories to choose from which enable the client to buy for different markets. The range is separated into Bronze (4cm), Silver (4.5cm) and Silver + (5cm) to suit the individual customer requirements and budget. Chui Farm in Timau This farm is the specialist high altitude flower farm producing a deluxe rose, which is sold under the Bellissima collection. Chui farm is over 30 hectares and stands at 2,500 metres above sea level, on the foot hills of Mount Kenya. The location enables the growing of large head sizes and long stems; which in turn, provide an exceptionally long-lasting rose.

3 As an ever expanding and developing business AAA constantly strives to be the best it can be and understands that growing is an art. As such, focus is on every single aspect of the business - starting from the variety selection, to growing, post-harvest treatment, sales and the after sales service. Growing & Harvesting The company s highly skilled and professional team have established a modern and efficient crop management system and first-class controls within both the fields and the grading hall. Each of the farms have a bespoke packhouse on site, so the flowers are picked and packed on the same location, with minimal transit between the fields and packhouse. Roses are harvested two to three times a day to ensure the optimum quality and cut stage of each stem. Roses are immediately transported into the grading hall in buckets with post-harvest solution where they are cooled for a minimum of 4-6 hours and then processed and cooled again before despatch. Packing & Grading Immediately after arrival to the grading hall all flowers are inspected by the intake quality controllers. After a minimum of 4-6 hours of pre-cooling each single stem is sized, defoliated, graded and checked in different parameters i.e. cut stage, shape, colour, size, damages if any, strength, straightness of the stem and bud size. Bunches are then packed in line with our customer specifications. We use the finest quality packaging materials to ensure the flowers arrive in the best possible condition to the final customer. Quality AAA Roses aim is to grow the highest quality roses and provide our customers with a product with a guaranteed vase life, superior quality and specialised packaging. Quality procedures are in place at every stage of the process to ensure we meet the specific requirements of all our clients.
