We started our flower farm in 2017, and what an amazing adventure it has been! We knew we wanted a special place to raise our family, and also have a place we could share with the community. We would love to have you follow along with us as we continue to learn about farming and running a business, and share opportunities for you to enjoy our flowers!
In just over a week, we will be kicking off our 2020 Lavender Season! Throughout the month of June and July we are offering several ways to get fresh lavender bouquets from the farm, as well as opportunities to enjoy the lavender fields (while following social distancing guidelines).
