We are officially closed for the year. The store is open by appointment so please call ahead. I continue to ship lavender bunches and other products during the winter and spring as long as the supply lasts. I hope to have my shopping cart up within the month so you can order gifts for Christmas. You can always call me to place an order too.
What's happening on the farm? We continue to get ready for winter...that is the cold and hopefully rain and snow would be good. I will also be stocking up my wood pile for cozy fires in the days to come.

Week 3: The Winds of Change
The cold and the high winds have let us know that winter is right around the corner. I thought we would be able to squeeze out another weekend of raspberry picking; however, that is not going to be happening. The store will be open on Saturday from 10-12.
What's Happening: I am picking the last of my tomatoes and a few pumpkins. I'll be putting things away for the winter and draining water from pipes and drip lines to keep from having the valves and pipes break like they did last winter.

Week 2: Chinese Proverb
CHINESE PROVERB: Life begins the day you start a garden.
Even though fall and winter are in the air, your garden for next year begins in your dreams and heart now. Plan now and you won't be caught off guard when the warm days of March and April begin pushing up tulips and daffodils.
WHAT'S HAPPENING? We have had so many cool nights and days that the raspberry leaves are beginning to shrivel up. The berries are small and clumps of berries are few and far between. The store will be open on Saturday as will be the raspberry field for picking. Families looking for a little adventure will find it fun. This will probably be the last weekend for berry picking.

Week 1: Raspberries and Rooting Lavender
Raspberries: This weekend is a GO for raspberry picking. It may be a little on the chilly side, but hopefully there will be lots of sun. Don't forget to bring a jacket. I picked berries this morning and found that there are still plenty to pick. The treasure hunt is well worth it.
Rooting Lavender: Every year our customers ask for lavender plants. Because of your requests, I am rooting lavender cuttings - about 500 in all. I don't want to get too confident about this process because in the past I have not been to successful at this. Time will tell and I'll keep you posted. If you have any tips for me wrt to rooting woody plants, please pass them on to me.
