Christmas Time is Around the Corner!

First of all, we at Santa Rita Hills Lavender Farm hope everyone had a safe and fun Halloween Night! While trick or treating is certainly a lot of fun, we at Santa Rita Hills Lavender Farm absolutely love the Christmas season, so much so we have started putting up winter decorations now around the farmstand, who cares about Thanksgiving decorations amirite?

Be sure to pick up pomegranates to add a little zest to your next meal, along with farm fresh eggs gathered everyday fresh! Our girls love them, so should you!

New Neighbors Came to Visit!

We have some new neighbors who have come to visit Santa Rita Hills Lavender Farm!

Two herons came to the property to get a quick bite to eat, unfortunately we didn’t have any lizards for sale in the farmstand, but they were able to find some food lying around! 😆

Always Looking To Improve!

This planting season, we here at Santa Rita Hills Lavender Farm decided to try at a really innovative way to do your trellising for cut flowers, using bent cow panels as opposed to hoops with plastic.

We believe that this way looks way more appealing in the rows then hoops and plastic, and also seems way easier to put into the ground and to dig it out at the end of the season.

We also have been experimenting with different styles for our lavender wreaths, be sure to check them out at the farmstand, open during our off season every Saturday and Sunday from 11-4pm, or check out our selection of products for here.

Now Serving, Lavender Infused Honey!

Oh boy, do we at Santa Rita Hills Lavender Farm have a treat for you! Thanks to partnering with Bee Wild Collective, a Santa Barbara County bee company who helps find hives for displaced swarms, we now have access to tons of Chapperelle flower honey! They asked us to try infusing lavender into their honey by putting the dried buds into a bucket of honey, but we wondered, is their a better way?

That's when we went to the lab and after doing a little research and looking around at the tools we had we, discovered an amazing new technique to infuse your honey quickly and completely! What an amazing discovery!

This honey has an amazing color and the taste, to die for! Come by the farmstand and pick yourself up a little luxury in a bottle, or pick up the honey off our website. This honey you ain't gonna find anywhere else, so be sure to try it out!
