An iconic crowned frog leaps from the West Coast to a second home in Pennsylvania, as a new brand licensing agreement between Little Prince of Oregon Nursery and Peace Tree Farm begins.
The agreement improves nationwide delivery for customers while also reducing shipping costs, according to Little Prince.
“We’re thrilled that our crowned frog found a home away from home,” said Mark Leichty, director of business development for Little Prince of Oregon Nursery. “We chose Lloyd, Candy and Alex Traven of Peace Tree Farm to nurture and grow our brand because they hold the same high standards for innovation, high-quality production and service as we do.”
The distance and high cost of shipping presented challenges across a nationwide distribution area to ornamental horticulture customers for the nursery.
“By partnering the team at Peace Tree Farm with the Little Prince of Oregon brand, we’re operating on both coasts of the U.S., providing our customers with more options to reduce their shipping costs and improve delivery time for their orders,” said Ketch de Kanter, founder and CEO of Little Prince of Oregon Nursery. “We’re delighted to license our brand to such a well-respected company with our same values of delivering the healthiest bona fide plants to industry customers.”
Independent garden centers can purchase Little Prince plants directly from Peace Tree Farm in Kintnersville, Pennsylvania, reducing the high freight cost of shipping plants across the country.
“We’re delighted that the folks at Little Prince of Oregon Nursery entrust us with their brand,” said Lloyd Traven, co-owner of Peace Tree Farm. “We’re ready to welcome the frog prince to his East Coast home and look forward to growing the gorgeous plants for which Little Prince is known.”
In efforts to continue to better serve its customers, Little Prince of Oregon Nursery seeks additional growers throughout the United States and Canada interested in partnering with Little Prince. Companies should contact Mark Leichty at Little Prince of Oregon Nursery at 503-522-9678.
