Sleepy Bees Lavender Farm

Spring is in the Air (Along with the Coronavirus)!!

Well, this has been a weird Spring, right? We had our Spring planned out down to the smallest detail. We were all signed up for many large shows that we were too small for last year, signed up for three different farmer's markets, had our timeline made out for removing row covers and last but not least, big plans for our first annual lavender festival! So, enter the Coronavirus. Limits on how many people can gather, social distancing and quarantining.

We are in the process of planning our first annual lavender festival for this summer

Sleepy Bees Lavender Farm Spring/Summer 2019 Catch Up

The majority of our summer was spent weeding and attending craft shows, fairs, and farmers' markets. We have met a ton of great people and made some really good business connections. We learned so much this summer. We are finding our niche and settling in nicely.

What I found out at that first sale, and at every sale since then, is that people are awesome. They are kind and supportive even if they aren't buying anything. People love hearing our story and Jerry sure loves telling it! They are genuinely curious and interested in hearing more. They want to be able to visit the farm. I think later this summer when the plants are blooming and we have an open house, we will have more visitors than we even imagined.
