About me
Christina Stembel was born and raised on a farm in northern Indiana (corn and soybeans - not flowers). From early on she always knew she wanted to start a business that would utilize her creativity, solve a real problem and have the potential to scale big. She came up with the idea for Farmgirl Flowers in 2010 after having one too many lackluster experiences buying flowers. She quit her then job at Stanford University and launched the business from the dining room table in her San Francisco apartment.
12 years later, Christina has bootstrapped the business without a dollar of outside investment to tens of millions in annual revenue. Today she and Team Farmgirl ship their signature burlap-wrapped bouquets, shippable vases, single variety arrangements and plants to hundreds of thousands of recipients all over the lower 48 each year.
