Yes, we moved here as a refuge to the crazy world in which we oftentimes live. This small parcel of land called to me as a place to raise our daughters, who were just three and nine when we moved here. Wow. Where has the time gone? They are now 23 and 17!!
Our plan was to gradually build our rural spot, complete with a barn and fencing to enjoy a pony and pups for our daughters, to piddle with hens, to dig in the dirt. The lavender just kind of happened. A hobby gone wild! Perfect timing? The stars kind of aligned with my need to garden and the community's desire to reconnect with nature, farmland and one another. It really is not about the lavender crop at all, is it? It is more about a philosophy and a way of life that we enjoy and love to share. Our aim is to enhance community spirit through growing lavender, creating products based in nature, and offering seasonal lavender experiences for you and yours. Special thanks for taking this lavender joy ride with us!
Through the last 14 years, we have shared with many and will continue to do so. Please enjoy memory lane with us. Here are some photos that haven't been seen in a while, and a few from our archives!
