Mike is getting his bags packed and ready to go as he prepares for his next speaking engagement at the United State Lavender Growers Association Conference due to be held in Richmond, VA Oct 18-20, 2013. He will be sharing the “Purple Haze” story on how we began, trials along the way, and how we have successfully continued to farm the wonderful herb lavender for over 17 years in Sequim, WA. This is shaping up to be a great conference for those who have a love for lavender and want to grow it! There is still time to register and spend a weekend learning about all things lavender!

Recently we were lucky enough to be blessed with a wonderful visit from “foodie” blogger, Elena Fernandez.

We have received a lot of questions about buses this year to tour the farms and the answer is: that due to rising costs Purple Haze WILL be the only farm that will be serviced by a bus. Pick up location will be the same as always at Lavender In the Park-should run about every 15-20 minutes!
Don’t forget there is always a chair waiting for you-see you at the farm!
