Meet Janice


It’s a concept most of us are all familiar with: Balancing work, family, friends and that much-needed daily ‘photography fix’… like capturing the perfect sunset at the end of the day.


For Janice, mother-of-two wonderful boys, finding that sense of balance between home and work has resulted in a joyful and fulfilling life. She began her employment here at Resendiz Brothers in the spring of 2017 as a packing-house assistant where she learned all about the various flowers and foliage we grow up in the hills of Rainbow. Shortly thereafter, Janice transferred to the office where she now works full time. Her warm and friendly personality makes for a very welcoming environment and provides a special touch to our customer service.



“I try to keep my life as modest as possible,” Janice explains. Between waking up at 6:00am to get my sons Mason and Preston off to school, caring for two dogs and a cat, and working fulltime at the farm… it can be difficult to find a moment for myself. But life is perfect, as I love being a mom and spending my days surrounded by fun people and gorgeous flowers. I do a wide variety of tasks in the office like preparing labels and waybills, data input, maintaining records, answering phones and caring for our multitude of farm friends… dogs, chickens, goats and a cat. Everyday I learn something new about running a business, farming and the unique flowers we grow. I’m surrounded by so much beauty which makes it easy and enjoyable to be here every day. I haven’t had the pleasure to interact with all of our customers yet, but I look forwarding to doing so soon!”

A Floral Feast at the End of Rainbow


The 2018 American Grown Field to Vase Dinner Tour made its first stop of the season in Fallbrook, CA on a glorious spring day. These amazing dinners are fun and quite informative and of course, they allow you to cozy up to more flowers than you could ever imagine! The idea behind these ‘floral feasts’ is to bring America’s Flower Farming Families and the surrounding community together for a relaxing and enjoyable evening, all while becoming a bit more informed about agriculture and the importance of buying local.


Resendiz Brothers is located just east of the Southern California coast where a light sea breeze mixed with steep, rugged terrain will never leave you the same. Guests dined on a remote pad situated high up in the hills of Rainbow where colorful pincushions were blooming as far as the eye could see.

During the reception guests mingled while sipping on champagne and nibbling on savory hors d’oeuvres of Endive Spears, Spicy Gingered Carrot Soup and Agave Glazed Pork Belly prepared by Chef Teegan Smith, of Crown Point Catering.




Guests were encouraged to create their own unique floral accessories at a boutonniere bar, make friends with two adorable kids (goats, of course) and to take advantage of the fabulous floral photo props… the limo and a rustic motorcycle cart filled with awesome blossoms, protea wreaths and incredible views.








Special name cards were created and tucked tightly in Banksia integrifolia cones, so guest could save their favorite spot at the table.






Dinner began with a pre-set Bibb Lettuce Salad with the rest of the meal being served Family Style. Platters of Boneless Short Rib with Smoked Gouda Yukon Gold Mash, Farm Ratatouille, Creamy Polenta and fresh Vegetables were passed down the table and savored by all. Geyser Peak Winery provided the red and white wine that perfectly complimented every dish. Truly a fabulous feast.








The evening ended with abundance of ‘Dinner Favors’, swag bags full of floral treats, protea bouquets and even the centerpieces and wreaths going home with everyone.

Farm Friends

The way we see it, everything is better with farm friends, including work. We’re proud to count quite a few two and four-legged animals among the Resendiz Brothers team - shout-out to JJ and Zorro, our Chief Perros, 25+ free range roosters, hens and chicks and 50+ adorable goats - which got us thinking: Why not share them with our flower friends? Not only did they have fun posing for the photos, but we think they go great with all our flowers. Thanks for all the hard work, guys and gals!










And, we’ll never forget our beloved friends, Lucky & Zorro!
