Our farm began when my husband and I moved back to Virginia where I continued to be a stay-at-home mom of our six daughters. Having a large family for us meant that we did what we needed to in order to make ends meet, and that meant farming. Our farm actually started as a vegetable farm, but as the girls grew and began to take interest in the farm, I let them work with their father with the vegetables while I transitioned to learning more about lavender. Now the girls are grown and on their own, we no longer need to grow all the vegetables, although we still have some. Now my husband maintains the vegetables and fruit that we grow and has returned to working with honey bees, and we both have turned to growing and developing our lavender patch hoping that one day it will become the lavender field that we envision.

My husband and I are the founders and owners of Blue Spring Run Farm and Blue Spring Bath and Body. All the products that you see on this website have been handcrafted by my family and me. I am constantly seeking to expand my knowledge and use of lavender, and would love to hear what you have to say about my products.

If you have questions about the uses of lavender, my wife is the one to which you will want to talk. However, I have learned much about the care and harvest of lavender. My passion is honey bees, and I would be more than happy to answer any questions you may have about the bees and the honey making process.
