Colorado's first commercial lavender farm is a source of enjoyment and relaxation for young and old.  The farm is located between Longmont and Lafayette near the intersection of Highway 287 and Lookout Road.  So, it is an easy weekend drive for nearly everyone living along Colorado's Front Range and a wonderful destination for others visiting Colorado.  Hopefully you can visit in 2011

They won the first battle, but not the war

It makes me very sad to publish this.  But, the 2010 picking season at the Lavender Farm is cancelled.  The Boulder County Land Use laws and their enforcement have really put my farm in jeopardy.  

I didn't realize that 3 acres of lavender and the civilized people who visited the farm a few weekends during the year were such a threat to the County.  But, with the laws as they now stand, if I even mentioned the word "lavender" while anyone was visiting the field, I was breaking the law.  And the penalty could have been the complete destruction of my field.  (So much for the Freedom of Speech in Boulder County) 
So, I have decided to keep the field closed. 

But there is GOOD NEWS!
You can find my fresh lavender, wonderful products and ME three days every week in Denver.  I will be at the Cherry Creek Farmers Market, which sets up in the parking lot just west of Bed Bath and Beyond at the Cherry Creek Mall, every Saturday from 8am until 1 pm and every Wednesday from 9am until 1pm.  And for you Sunday shoppers, I will be at the Stapleton Farmers Market, which is about 2 blocks east of Quebec on 29th Street, every Sunday from 8:30am until 12:30 pm. 
If you haven't enjoyed either of these markets, you don't know what you're missing.  They have a great line-up of vendors selling everything from corn and beets to delicious crepes.  And now they have lavender too.  So, I hope some of you loyal lavender lovers will join us at these great markets.  I can't wait to see you all.

But, I'm not giving up.  I'm still planting more plants.  And I hope that maybe by next year the rules will relax enough to allow all of you to enjoy the farm.  

I have to ask you, for your own safety's sake, NOT to even drive down to the farm.  Any traffic to my place really aggrevates the neighbors.  And they can get violent.
   
I hope this hasn't caused too much inconvenience for anyone.  I'm as disappointed as everyone else



Let me know if you have ideas for new lavender products.  I will do my best to develop your suggestions into wonderful new products.

There are more shops carrying products from the farm.  The newest store where you can find the products from the farm is Fruehauf's located at 1665 33rd Street in Boulder.  That is just north of Arapahoe on 33rd.  And if you haven't been there in a while, you need to stop in.  They have a great selection of patio furniture you can't find anywhere else these days.  But, wait until you see their gift selection.  It is fantastic.
    Also, you can see the products at Nest, 2015 Ionosphere St, in Prospect, on the south side of Longmont.  Renee's store is restocked as of April 14th with your favoite products from the lavender farm.  If you haven't been to Nest in a while, you better stop in soon and see all of Renee's new inventory.  When you do stop in, tell her that the Lavender Guy sent you.
   
In Greeley, you can find the lavender products at Warm Hugs, located at 916 9th Avenue.  Suzanne's store is just east of the courthouse.  She has a great store going there after only being open less than a year.  You will find unique gifts including Suzanne's own convenient cooking creations.

Wouldn't you love to take this home?

Most people have never had the pleasure of visiting a lavender farm.  The experience is unique and never to be forgotten.  This scenic location sets it apart from all others.  The view of both the front and back ranges of the Rockies is stunning.  But, the addition to the scene of five acres of lavender takes your breath away.  Don't hold your breath for long.  You will want to inhale the beautiful scent of all these flowers as you enjoy the visual beauty. 
The farm opens to the public each weekend as the plants begin to bloom.  You will have the opportunity to cut your own bundles of lavender.  But, that's not all.  You may relax and enjoy a glass of lavender lemonade or lavender iced tea or even some lavender ice cream.  Many hand-crafted lavender products will also be available for purchase including bath and beauty products and other reminders of your visit to the farm.

The shady canopy has become the gathering place at the farm like your kitchen during a party.  Everyone gets some refreshments and a chance to cool off.

These are just a few of the lavender lovers who enjoyed the very first day the field was open
