Our Story
My name is Jefferson Herr and my lovely wife is Shengying Yang. We were both born in the country of Laos in 1968 and 1969, respectively. We were toddlers during the end of the Vietnam War and as teenagers, fled to Thailand where we met and married while living inside the refugee camps in Thailand in 1988. We immigrated to the US in 1990 and first settled in Fresno. By the mid 1990s, we felt we were capable of achieving much more as our grasp of the English language grew stronger and moved to the Milwaukee, Wisconsin where the job industry was booming. In 1999, we decided we to chase our "American dream"; we wanted to own a house, raise our children in a great area, and own our own business. We spent one summer scouting the greater Catawba and Iredell County.
In 2000, we decided to pick up our entire family of 8 and moved to Statesville, North Carolina to start our own floral business. After a few years of renting land to farm and grow flowers, we decided to move to our current location in Vale where we now grow flowers on over 5.5 acres. We grow almost all of our flowers in our gardens but we do have 6 greenhouses including 2 fully functional, year-round greenhouses. At our home location, we also have a large cooler where we store our flowers to keep them fresh after picking them during the day and at night. The cooler is kept at a premium temperature of 36 degrees and flowers are not stored longer than a few days.
Since 2020, our daughter Va Her and her husband, Tou Yang, have taken over the day to day operations. Information about services can be seen under the "Services Available" tab and a list of flowers along with a gallery of floral photos can be found under the "About Herr Fresh Flowers" tab. Any questions can be directed to us under the "Contact Us" tab on the left hand side. We thank you for your time in visiting our website and supporting our business. We look forward to working with you.
