Frederick's Field - Lavender and Such

05/28/2023

The time has come ... it's an end to our hillside lavender growing as we've sold our property. So many wonderful memories meeting new friends and artists, sharing gatherings with friends and family, watching the lavender bloom and hosting harvest events, enjoying the dogs running about, picking pounds and pounds of apricots, and endings our days with beautiful sunsets. We still have a piece of the hillside with us though as we have bins of dried lavender, essential oil and beautiful artwork to enjoy!

Thank you to our customers, visitors and friends for your support attending our events, the farmers markets, festivals and small shops to purchase lavender and products. We've made so many new connections and learned so much through you all.

Though the lavender is at the end of its life-cycle, the wonderful new owners may re-plant again. So keep watch for Almaden lavender!

It's hard to say goodbye but truly feel blessed with so many fond memories and new friends we've made along the way! 💜

Another beautiful season though essential oil yield was not as high as in years past. I think our plants are getting old maybe and blooms not as big. But the fragrance is just as beautiful!💜💜

Thanks to my guy, Bill for all of his hard work and time harvesting and distilling !!
