Colorado's only 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.
Where is the Lavender Booth This Weekend?
This weekend, June 20, the booth will be at the Erie Farmer's Market in Old Town Erie.
Next weekend, June 27 and 28, the Lavender Booth will be at Pridefest. That is in Civic Center Park between
the State Capitol and the City and County of Denver Building.
Spring is finally here. What a relief. And the plants agree. In the last two weeks the green
began reappearing at the base of many of the plants. Now comes the tending and the coaxing. The watering and the
weeding. So, for those anxious to come visit, you must wait a little while. It appears that we are on approximately
the same schedule as last year. So, it will probably be the end of July when the farm opens. And then I assume
we can remain open for picking until the middle of September. But, as we get closer to picking time, I will have
updates on this site with pictures showing the plants' progress
I do have some exciting news to share.
There is a wonderful story about the farm in the May issure of 5280 magazine. It is on page 85. You may be
surprised that you don't see any green plants or lavender flowers. But the story and pictures were done in October.
At that time there wasn't much to show except the still and the beautiful clouds and mountains. I will provide a
link to the story on the Press page.
Keep your fingers crossed and hope for nice weather to make
those plants grow.
Let me know if you have ideas for new lavender products. I will do my best to develop
your suggestions into wonderful new products.
Keep an eye out for news and new products on this site.
Also, you can now find the products at Nest, in Prospect,
on the south side of Longmont. Stop in and see Renee's new store. It's a great place. When you stop
in, tell her that the Lavender Guy sent you.
