History & Staff

The farm part of our business has been sold and the new owners are still growing lavender. The new name is Western Sun Lavender. We love these new owners and we are helping them get going with their new farm. They want to focus on learning to farm, so Sarah kept the shop and manufacturing parts of Lavender Wind while they will provide us with the lavender we have been so proud to grow for you.

When the farm was Lavender Wind Farm this is some of the information about it:

Lavender Wind Farm, with a view of the Olympic Mountains and the Strait of Juan De Fuca, is on the wild west side of beautiful Whidbey Island in Washington. The farm is within the Ebey’s Landing National Historical Reserve, and maintains the farming culture of this special area. We have perfect growing conditions for lavender, only about 18 inches of rain a year due to the Olympic Rain Shadow, lots of wind, and plenty of sun. Come visit us during blooming season.

The land it sits on has been farmed for over 100 years. Sarah Richards, the founder, bought the original 5 acres from the Darst family who had raised potatoes on the land for years. The soil is a rich sandy loam. Later she bought an addtional 3.75 acres and had planted more lavender.

In 2012 Lavender Wind expanded into Historic Coupeville at 15 Coveland St. in a cute bungalow house that was converted into a manufacturing kitchen and gift shop.

We have been part of the greater central and north part of Whidbey Island since 2000. This is a great video that will show you some about us and about our area.
