Farm Update

Bald Butte Lavender Farm experienced two weather related set backs during the 2023 winter and spring. An extremely cold winter with lack of adequate snow cover resulted in a 25% loss in our lavender crop. The unusual winter weather was followed by a cold wet spring which has delayed the onset of flowering. We have cancelled our Lavender Farm Tour indefinitely due to these two weather related events.

Acknowledgements

We have visited numerous lavender farms in the Pacific Northwest. The growers have graciously provided their valuable time while sharing their wealth of experience and providing us with invaluable insights. In particular, we greatly appreciate the advice and guidance provided by Maggie Smith (Fleur de Provence Lavender Farm, Mead. WA), Tammy Lewis (Flannigan Creek Flower Farm, Viola, ID), Joe Downs (The Lavender Boutique, Wenatchee, WA), and Chris Mulder (Barn Owl Nursery, Wilsonville, OR).

Bald Butte Lavender Farm is located in Whitman County in southeastern Washington. On our 3-acre farm we produce fresh and dried lavender bundles, live lavender plants, dried culinary lavender, and hand-made lavender crafts. Our lavender products are sold at the Moscow Farmers Market (Moscow, Idaho). We have also sold our lavender products at the Troy Farmers Market (Troy, Idaho), the Artisan’s Barn Winter Market (Uniontown, Washington), and the Moscow Winter Market at the 1912 Center.

Website Resources

Our website is based on field experience, internet research, and conversations with other lavender growers. On our website pages we have links to products used while developing our farm. We don’t endorse those products, but instead offer them as suggestions. In general, those products are also available on-line in smaller or larger quantities, and in sizes and brands that could better suit your needs and budget.

Learn about Lavender

When searching the internet you will discover and learn much more about lavender. In fact, perhaps the greatest collection of lavender knowledge has been compiled by Sarah Berringer Bader in her “The Lavender Lover’s Handbook”. This definitive source for everything lavender is available through Amazon.
