A Look Back at the 2025 Lavender Harvest

July 23, 2025

The lavender season has a rhythm of its own, and this year it asked us to slow down and stay present. Harvest began in the first week of July, a bit later than anticipated, and what followed were weeks of long days, capable hands, and fields that seemed reluctant to let go of the season. At one point we found ourselves pacing the harvest deliberately, wanting to ensure the lavender fields remained in full bloom through the final days of the Lavender Festival for our guests to enjoy.

This season also brought something worth noting. Several of our more established lavender plants produced shorter stems than in years prior, a natural part of the lifecycle of a maturing plant. Rather than see it as a setback, we took it as an invitation. In response, we planted hundreds of new lavender starts across the property, expanding the fields and setting the foundation for seasons to come. It will take time, but watching them take root and grow alongside the plants that came before them is one of the quiet satisfactions of farming.

For those who visited the fields this summer, we hope the experience stayed with you. We are now completing the final stage of the harvest, distilling this year's blooms into essential oil and hydrosol. It is a process we look forward to every season and a fitting close to months of growth.

We are grateful for everyone who joined us this year and already looking forward to what next summer will bring.

Until then, the fields rest.
