Did someone say “lavender?”

Sequim has lavender farms, big and small. Most have many varieties of the plants — early or late blooming, in shades from white to deep purple, aromatic, and culinary.

In addition to fields that are open for visitors to wander through and cut lavender bouquets, most of the farms offer lavender distillations and products such as lotions and soaps.

It’s wonderful to walk through the fields on warmer days an be immersed in the fresh lavender scent. It was overcast the day I took these photos but the scents made up for the dull light.

Top to bottom the farms shown are Jardin du Soleil, Olympic Lavender, and B & B Family Farm.

Olympic  Lavender 1

Olympic Lavender Farm was sold to new owners last year and if I’m not mistaken it also has a new sign. The owners have two other lavender growing sites in the Dungeness area in addition to this five acre plot.

Olympic Lav 2

The Olympic Lavender farm is 19 years old and plans are afoot to plant thousands of additional lavender plants here this fall. Like many of our other farms, Olympic Lavender has a farm store and a variety of lavender products created with their organic blossoms.
