After searching across many properties to find just the right soil and conditions to grow lavender, they found a slice of heaven just outside of Fond du Lac, WI. The first field of lavender was started in 2021 and now they manage a full acre of 2,000 plants spanning over 8 varieties. Why only one acre, you might ask? Because everything is done by hand: planting, watering, weeding, harvesting, and processing. No chemicals and no pesticides. At harvest time in June and July, they are grateful for the extra help from extended family to cut, bundle, and process thousands of lavender stems.
Today, Brian and Jenn winter in Colorado and farm lavender all summer in Wisconsin. It’s an unusual lifestyle, but they love it!
