5.0 from 21 Google reviews of the farm Two people, five acres, Sequim WA

The workhorse. Bright, clean, and generous enough to use without rationing.

Distilled from Super, a French lavandin that yields the bright, herbaceous, spa-clean lavender scent most people know and love. A workhorse oil — diffusers, laundry, cleaning sprays, sore muscles — at a friendlier price than our single-estate English oil.

The Olympic rain shadow

Why lavender grown here smells like this

Sequim sits in the rain shadow of the Olympic Mountains. Storms coming off the Pacific dump their water on the peaks and arrive here wrung out — which leaves this valley dry, bright, and cool at night while the rest of western Washington is under cloud. It is the same weather logic that made Provence famous for lavender: long sun, low water, cold nights. Lavender answers that kind of season by putting its energy into aromatic oil instead of leaf. That is the whole story of what is in these bottles.

Dry, bright daysRoughly a quarter of the rainfall of Seattle, an hour away.
Cold nightsThe temperature swing that lavender rewards with fragrance.
Lean soilLavender sulks in rich ground. It thrives in ours.
Rows since 1997Some of the oldest producing lavender in the valley.

What's inside

Every ingredient, and why it is there

One ingredient, again.

Super lavandin, steam-distilled

Grown in our own rows, distilled on the farm, nothing added.

How to use it

The ritual

Small things, done properly. This is how we use it on the farm.

1

Laundry

Five to eight drops on wool dryer balls before the load. Do not put oil straight on fabric in the wash.

2

Cleaning spray

Fifteen drops into a spray bottle with water and a splash of white vinegar. Shake before every use.

3

Floors and mopping

Ten drops in a bucket. The room smells cut-grass clean for hours.

4

Porch

A few drops on a citronella-style candle, or on the cuffs and hatband before dusk.

Two lavenders, two jobs

Royal Velvet or Super?

We grow two very different lavenders, and picking the wrong one is the most common lavender mistake there is. Here is the short version.

English lavender

Royal Velvet

Lavandula angustifolia

Sweeter, softer, rounder. The one for skin and for winding down.

  • Pillows and sleep rituals
  • Anything going on skin
  • Aromatherapy and unwinding
  • Baking and culinary use

Low camphor, honey-floral, almost powdery at the finish. It is the lavender people mean when they say lavender smells calming.

This one French lavandin (a hybrid)

Super

Lavandula × intermedia

Bolder, brighter, more camphorous. The one for cleaning, linens and bug season.

  • Laundry and linen closets
  • Cleaning sprays and surfaces
  • Diffusers and big rooms
  • Keeping mosquitoes off the porch

Higher camphor gives it that spa-clean, almost eucalyptus edge — the smell most people picture as classic lavender. It also yields far more oil per plant, which is why it costs less.

Questions

Answered before you have to ask

Yield, not quality. A lavandin plant is far larger and gives dramatically more oil per harvest than an English lavender of the same age, so the same hour of work produces more bottles.
It works, but the camphor makes it bracing rather than soft — some people find it a bit wake-up. For pillows and bedtime we reach for Royal Velvet.
Yes, diluted in a carrier oil first — but understand that Super reads clean and sharp rather than sweet. It is a great morning bath and a divisive evening one.
Scale and distance. Most lavender product is blended from bulk oil bought on a commodity market, filled in the thousands. Ours is distilled from our own rows in a copper still on the property and bottled in runs small enough to hand-label in an afternoon. When a batch is gone it is gone until the next harvest.
A flat $8 anywhere in the US, however big the box. Instead of a free-shipping threshold with fine print, we tuck real gifts into bigger orders — a lavender sachet at $50, $75 and $100, hand lotion at $150, a canvas tote at $200. They stack.
