About Katie and her Lavender Farm:
Our family lavender farm is a place where the past and present come together. Our land is rich with sacred history going back to the Basketmaker era which started around 500 bce. As for the lavender, the high-altitude environment adds a unique potency to our oil’s content. We’re dedicated to helping build the legacy of lavender farming in Colorado while also embracing innovative sustainability practices that keep our farm thriving. Lavender loves this climate and we’re excited to help introduce an alternative drought-tolerant crop to an area where water is becoming more and more scarce.
