Emma’s Garden allows customers to pick up products from its Huntington facility.įrom a young age, the four brothers were very involved in the business. It was then that the Keils really established their customer base, servicing independent garden centers, estates, country clubs and golf courses. They also expanded their production to include holiday plants, such as Easter lilies and poinsettias.
At that point, they began expanding the operation and building greenhouses at remote sites. And in 1970 their other son, Norman, joined him. In 1960, Otto and Emma’s son, Otto Jr., took over the business, says Eric Keil. Their main customers at the time were flower shops and estates. They started growing cut flowers and eventually got into annuals. During that time, Otto and Emma saved what they could to later invest in the business. “My grandparents rented the greenhouses at first,” shares Jeff Keil. This included the greenhouses and even a home right on the property where they lived and raised their family. The collapse, however, served as an opportunity for Otto and Emma, and they were able to purchase 6 acres. Throughout the Huntington facility, visitors will see reminders of the company’s roots. While there’s very little of that character left on Long Island, the castle up on the hill above Emma’s Garden still remains. When the stock market took a hit in the 1920s, the Gold Coast of Long Island collapsed and most of the large estates were broken up and turned into smaller lots and homes, says Jeff. “They were the greenhouses for the castle that sits up on the hill here,” Jeff explains. The original greenhouses - built in 1917 - in Huntington, New York, which still serve as the main location for Emma’s Garden, were part of a 400-acre estate owned by a wealthy financier Otto Hermann Kahn. The company has its foundation in Otto Keil Florists, which was founded by their grandfather and grandmother, Otto and Emma Keil, back in 1941. Garden, there has been some evolution but the third generation has remained true to the company’s roots while establishing its role and nurturing relationships with New York’s finest.Įmma’s Garden was founded in 2008 by brothers Jeff, Eric, Greg and Scott Keil, but that certainly wasn’t the beginning of their venture into the greenhouse business. For Emma’s The Mattituck facility is the largest of the Emma’s Garden locations, with 150,00 square feet of glass, 20,000 square feet of free-standing poly and 15 acres of field production. The growers that have remained successful through the years have found their place in the market.
