Beginnings

The farm was purchased in Nov 2020 so work only started the following year. We had lots to do! Here is the field before work began.

First, we sectioned off the area we wanted, removed the orchard grass that had been growing and lightly plowed it. Then small, raised rows were made as lavender does not like “wet feet”. We covered everything with fabric, and spread  tons and tons … and tons of rock! 

Finally, we hand planted every little lavender plant.

We discovered we needed to add trenches and drains to divert the water away.

Ollie, our "lavendoodle" was always on quality control watch. 

 Our work at the end of 2021. Phase 1 ... done!
