Dramm Echter Farms is a farming operation based in Encinitas, California, with a long-standing family heritage in cultivating and distributing flowers. The venture traces its origins to the mid-1960s, when founders Jim Echter and Gene Dramm began farming in Encinitas, and a formal partnership was established in 1972 to ship California-grown flowers nationwide. The farm currently operates about 950,000 square feet of greenhouse space and grows more than 50 cultivars throughout the year, including gerberas, lilies, roses, and succulents, supplying wholesalers, florists, and mass-market retailers. It emphasizes environmentally minded cultivation practices, such as using predatory insects and other bio controls to reduce pesticide reliance, and recycles the water used for growing. In 2016, Fox Point Farms Wholesale relocated its operations to the main Encinitas ranch, a move that centralized operations and broadened the range of local and international offerings available to clients. The operation, local to Encinitas, is a small, family-led farming enterprise that supports its community and has earned a reputation as a dependable farm, wholesaler, and neighbor.
