Lavender
We love all things lavender and our mission is to bring a touch of Provence to Sherwood, Oregon.
Once you have strolled through fields of lavender in bloom, you understand why it has been grown and used for centuries for cosmetic, household, and medicinal uses.
Lavender is an ideal choice for small agriculture - it requires little water once established, is not susceptible to many diseases or pests, looks and smells beautiful while growing, and has a wide range of uses once harvested. Plus, gophers and moles don’Äôt like it and kids and bees love it!
We love the idea of enhancing the agricultural landscape with our lavender fields. Surrounded by vineyards, our farm has sunshine and a gentle slope to ensure good drainage; we hope we have a perfect lavender location. ¬Ý
We will have our online store available shortly, with a wide range of lavender related products. We will be open for U-Pick in 2007. In the meantime, we invite you to browse our site and visit us as we develop our lavender farm...
