Sequim Lavender Farm: Jardin du Soleil

August 7th, 2009

Although the lavender festival has come and gone here in Sequim, it does not mean that the nice times to visit the Lavender farms has ended.

Jardin du Soleil is a wonderful farm out towards the Dungeness Area of Sequim. A certified organic farm, the owners also make a certified organic oil through a state-of-the-art distillation process there at the farm. The result is delicious lavender soap, high quality gifts like candles and even lavender for the cooking!

The farm is still open for the rest of August, and you can stop in to hand-pick your own lavender, or just meander the ten fragrant acres. They also sell products at the farm, like lavender sachets and other bath and body products.

The farm is decorated with Victorian-style fountains and sitting areas, so that if you want to bring a picnic lunch or a book to enjoy after you hand select a bouquet of lavender to bring home, you can just relax in the herb garden for a while.

Along with all of the products they make at the farm, they also sell bulk dried lavender. So if you want to make some products at home on your own, or if you are crafty and want to use our organic lavender to make gifts for your friends and family, you buy a whole bunch of the stuff to fill your car with pungent herbs! Lavender buds also make a wonderful alternative at a wedding to rice or confetti.

There are hundreds of ways to use lavender. The owners have great ideas and are happy to share them if you ask.
