Where Love and Lavender Bloom
Tucked into the rolling countryside of Canby, Oregon, Willamette Valley Lavender is more than just a farm—it’s a fragrant dream come true for husband-and-wife duo Mike and Sandra. The idea bloomed (quite literally) during a romantic anniversary picnic at a lavender farm in Newberg. Inspired by the beauty and calm of the fields, they returned home with a vision: transform their 10-acre plot into a vibrant sea of purple.
Today, that dream is a thriving, family-run lavender haven offering fresh and dried bundles, culinary lavender, essential oils, syrups, and extracts—all organically grown, hand-harvested, and deeply rooted in transparency. Mike and Sandra proudly share their growing practices, lavender varieties, and the passion behind every product.
Lavender grows easily in the Willamette Valley’s climate, requiring little water and even less fuss—making it the perfect crop for two full-time public school teachers who spend their summers among the blooms. They even irrigate using harvested rainwater, proving that sustainability can be beautiful.
Whether you’re steeping a syrup, cooking with culinary lavender, or simply filling your home with its soothing scent, Mike and Sandra are involved in every step—from planting to packaging to sharing their love of lavender with you.
Because for them, this isn’t just farming—it’s romance, rooted.
