Getting My Farm On


One of the highlights of summer was my trip to The Woodinville Lavender Farm. I answered an ad on Facebook for volunteers for harvest. What a great learning experience. www.woodinvillelavender.com

This farm is located amongst the many boutique wineries in Woodinville, WA. Beautiful colors!

The owners live on the farm and opened it to the public last summer. Amazing lavender products are offered along with classes for making sachets, essential oils, and several other yummy items!

I had to get over my fear of bees very quickly! Another bonus to picking lavender is it gets infused into your clothes, shoes, even your hair.

I confess, my lavender does not look this nice. I have to get to work!

I failed to mention how easy this morning really was. The owner, Tom, cuts the lavender and then hands it to us to bundle. We gather the bundles, put them in a wheelbarrow then hang them to dry. No bending required. Thanks for saving our backs Tom.

Nothing completes a farm like a farm dog. This sweety was taking a snooze after we ate our lavender infused ice cream, bars. No one spilled any, so he gave up and went to sleep. Sorry my friend. Maybe another time!
