The English Lavender Farm is set on a hillside and when you’re at the top you can see nothing but lavender and breathtaking mountain views for miles. The neat rows of English lavender have different appearances at various times of the year; sometimes they’re silvery, others they’re bright green and then of course purple and blue; but they always look quite spectacular. We usually start seeing purple in the field in late May but the predominant color then is still the green foliage. As we move into June the purple wash gains traction and the dusting of purple moves from the tops of the stems down to the ground as a riot of color dominates into the middle of June.

On Bluebird Farm, harvest isn’t over until the ground has been seeded with a cover crop. It’s a cycle of giving, and receiving, and giving back.
