Blog @ Purple Haze Lavender Ltd.

Seems hard to believe that in just a little over 3 months the lavender will be blooming beautifully and it will be time for Sequim’s Annual Lavender Farm Faire! This event always falls on the third weekend in July (July 19, 20 & 21st, 2013). Check out our new brochure and the wonderful lavender artwork by Lee Oskar !

Make your plans now to join us and get your tickets early-you will save $5.00 ea.!!  You don’t want to miss that Lavender Margarita and the best music in town!!!

P.S. Speaking of music….we have some great NEW acts lined up for our stage this year at Purple Haze….stay tuned for updates!!!

Our next door neighbors, David and Jennifer, have opened a new downtown tasting room just a couple of doors down from our downtown store. It features their wonderful Italian style wines from Wind Rose Cellars. A really nice atmosphere, great appetizers, and a superb line of wines. Rosalind and my favorite is their Dolcetto and the Hunter Red….wait, hold on here; they are ALL fabulous!

We have a wonderful new little “greeter”! Her name is Penny! Our owners Mike and Roz have fallen in love with her and she is just a “little bit” spoiled-many of you may remember our first farm dog “Gordy”-he loved each and every visitor to our farm (especially those that shared their ice cream!) Penny is super excited to meet you all-so look for her next time you visit the farm!

Right now our Christmas Elves are busy shipping lavender everywhere! Just pick your favorite lavender items in our online store and we will be happy to ship it off to wherever it needs to go with your personalized gift message! You will have your Christmas List checked off in no time! Merry Christmas!

This week we finished up our lavender oil distillation at the farm! So nice to have such wonderful weather! The air was filled with lavender and we distilled some beautiful oil!!  If you have pre-ordered our Certified Organic Lavender Oil it should be shipping out in the next few weeks!

Recently, Rare Earth decided to tour again – much to the applause of their many fans across the country. Rare Earth has their audiences up and out of their seats dancing and singing along with their million selling classics such as “Get Ready”, “Hey Big Brother”, “Losing You”, “Born to Wander”, and “I Just Want to Celebrate” creating an atmosphere reminiscent of the Madison Square Garden Concert in 1970, the Atlantic Pop Festival in 1971 or the California Jam which was one of their most memorable concerts broadcast nationally in 1974. This concert is being offered in conjuction with the Sequim Balloon Festival which takes place Sept. 1, 2, & 3 in field right next door to our farm!  We are super excited to be a sponsor of this event-so get your tickets now and come and CELEBRATE with us!

Check out this great video that highlights our wonderful volunteers for Sequim Lavender Farm Faire!  Loved seeing all the fun they had at our farms during the weekend!  A very big THANK YOU to all of our dedicated and loyal volunteers!

Farm Faire Volunteers!

We will be distilling our ” Grosso” lavender at the farm on August 10th at 11:00 am.  It’s kind of an interesting process to watch and it sure smells good!

Creme Tangerine  (a Beatles music experience and Lavender Weekend favorite) will be playing August 18th at Olympic Wine Cellars summer concert series with proceeds benefiting the Sequim Lavender Farmers Associaton!  Order your tickets online and order early- as this concert is sure to sell out!  A little Beatles music, a little wine……
