Evolving the Farm

Farming is truly a family affair at Farmstead 1868. Monica shares how everyone, including the kids, gets involved in planting and picking lavender, and even creating fun activities for visitors. Managing the farm is a constant balancing act between making and selling products, hosting tours, and bringing people on-site. With a growing season that peaks in July, visitors are invited to come pick their own lavender during this vibrant month. The rest of the year is spent crafting products, attending shows, and wholesaling, showcasing the diverse and ever-evolving nature of running a farm.
