Description
Faber Floral Company

The Faber family history dates back to the 1800’s when JOHN FABER opened his business on Chicago’s south side.  In 1870, he moved the firm to Kankakee, opening a greenhouse ½ block off Court Street on Sixth Avenue.  The homegrown plants and cut flowers were delivered locally by horse and cart.  Hard to imagine with today’s technology!

An article appearing in the Kankakee Daily Republican in 1927 contained the following regarding Faber Flora & Greenhouses: “Mr. John Faber is not only a florist, but a businessman held in high esteem by all who know him.  His business is truly a community asset.”  The same could be said today for the business operated by John’s great-grandchildren!

The current location at 869 West Jeffery Street in Kankakee, IL<
