What We’ve Been Doing
Hey everyone, just wanted to say thanks for sticking around despite our radio silence lately! We`ve had a lot going on - Mark`s had two ankle surgeries 😩, we`re gearing up for a barn-building adventure 😄, and had an amazing Thanksgiving with my grandma 🥰.
Thanks for supporting our lavender farm - we`re stoked you`re enjoying our products and sharing them with friends and family.
Stay tuned for more updates!
And thanks to Curt for the pic of our snow-covered lavender! ❄️☃️

The peonies are in the ground! Isn’t it wild how something gorgeous starts off looking so humble? They definitely go through a major transformation.
Thank you @devroomenus for the gorgeous peony roots. And huge thanks to @ben_shallow02 @dylan.shallow @sabrinadebont and my mom, Terri for lending a hand in the field! I’d still be digging in the dirt for ages without you all.
That’s a wrap on the 2025 farming season! Now, time to process this year’s harvest. 💜
That’s a wrap on the 2025 growing season! The plants are sooo good. Very healthy, and they seem to be happy living their high dessert Methow Valley life.
Next up - field prep for peonies!! My Dad is out there digging a trench for the next irrigation line.
I can’t wait to have peonies blooming in the field.

It was a good day. 🤍So thankful to Denise and my Mom for helping me prune!! They are the best! Thankful to my Dad for all the help settings up our new container. It feels like progress. Little by little, we’re building this little farm of ours. 🥰
And the praying mantis - they are just so cool and we have a lot of them.

We were pruning, propagating, and prepping for a container to store our equipment (Because my parents said, “Enough” to storing it in their barn and cabins.😋), and cooling off in the river. It`s almost Fall, but it`s still hot in the Valley. And, unfortunately, smokey. 😬
Once again, thank you to my Mom and Dad for all their help. Because of them, we are making progress on our farm.

Date night looks a little different out here 💜✨ Just us, the lavender, and a whole lotta weeds to pull. Who needs fancy when you’ve got fresh mountain air and purple fields? 🌿💑

Ohhh, the sweet satisfaction of knowing our lavender field inspired a little work of art. Look at this! Sabrina @embroiderybysabrina is such a talented embroidery artist. I love her and all her work! And, these…
Oh my heart! 💜
Someday (maybe next year?), I’d love to host some Plein Air artists. Wouldn’t that be fun!
Thank you, Sabrina! 🫶🏼

And, that’s a wrap on the 2025 harvest!
Our stats, roughly -
1,400+ plants
3 bee stings, so ⤵️
60-something plants left for the 🐝
87 ounces of essential oil
12 1/2 gallons of hydrosol
A few hundred bundles.
Many sore muscles.
And, a whole lot of bud to be processed when we are rested.
Thank you Beth @downbytheriverlavender for distilling for us!!
It is so gratifying to see something through, start to finish. 💜

Harvest time! I’m so happy with this year’s crop. It’s beautiful, and a little hard to harvest because it’s just so pretty. But, the oil from these two varieties is equally wonderful. We’re back at it again today, harvesting Grosso and Super.
A huge thank you to Beth at @downbytheriverlavender for distilling our lavender. Beth is incredibly generous with her time, knowledge and support. We’re as far a long in our process in big part to her. Thank you, Beth!! 🙏🏼
Thank you to my helpers, my Mom and my son, Logan. Without their help, I would be harvesting for weeks instead of days.
The sun has been up for almost an hour. Time to get out there!
Happy Friday! And happy harvesting to all those out in the fields, orchards and gardens. 💜

Good evening from the lavender field. 💜
Wherever you are and whatever you’re doing, I hope you can pause for a moment, take a deep breath, and enjoy this view. 🕊️

It would just be the greatest to see these in shops around town and everywhere lavender is sold, or should be sold. 😉💜
