Spring is officially showing off!

We’re soaking up this gorgeous 70-degree sunshine and dreaming BIG for the farm this season. While the lavender might still be hitting the snooze button, just wait… in a few short weeks, it’ll wake up in a wave of green, followed by a burst of beautiful purple. Stay tuned!

The 2024 season is officially wrapped! We added 750 new lavender plants, prepped a fresh area for next year’s expansion, and secured exciting new partnerships to bring our products to more people. It’s been a big year for our family, and we couldn’t have done it without your incredible support. Thank you for cheering us on every step of the way!

A busy season adding 750 plants to the hive. We certainly can’t keep up without the support (read: manual labor and love) of our family and friends. Thankful for everyone along for the journey!

Today was filled with w**ding and mowing; It takes about 6 hours to mow our property completely, and a few more to w**d.

In this picture, you can see which rows we have and haven’t taken care of.

Never ending w**ding, mowing, and planting! Water isn't set up in the back property, so we improvise with galvanized bins, a generator, and a pump. They double as a little cool-off spot when not in use.

We've got some sweet new additions to our garden, thanks to our incredible neighbor. 45 strawberry plants were planted last weekend and we couldn't be more excited!

We’ve officially survived another winter! Two of the three varieties are starting to green up nicely. The variety we were most hopeful for still looks quite dormant, but we’ll wait until June before we are too concerned. Crazy how tempature and water impact the dormancy of the strain!
