At Lavender Bee Farm, “Both JoAnn and I are Petaluma locals, We have had interests in gardening projects for many years. We decided to grow lavender as a hobby and now there is so much interest from local people and businesses that the lavender farm has grown to over five thousand plants, with plans for more! The Lavender Bee Farm was established in 2001 on our family farm just on the outskirts of Petaluma (located in the beautiful Sonoma County).
Our growing method is all natural, no pesticides or fertilizers. The cutting and pruning are performed with hand tools. The soil is sandy loam, the plants have good drainage, watering is a drip system. We have many bee hives here at the farm that collects the sweet lavender nectar. Lavender honey is prized for its color and taste. The honey sells out quickly!”

Key Insights:
- The owners host a small 1½ hour tour on weekends where they'll tell you about how they grow and harvest the lavender as well as take care of the bees that feed on the flowers.
- They answered questions when I called to ask about the farm and sent me test pictures to see how the flowers were looking this late in August.
- When we arrived on Sunday afternoon, JoAnn gave us a tour of the grounds to help us find a few great spots.
- It was my last day of vacation I rearranged and even canceled some family things to go to the farm store and no one ever showed up.
- Edit(sorry it took so long) the owner called us back after a bit and explained they had a bee emergency he had forgotten to let his wife know we were coming and she was outside tending the animals and couldn’t hear the phone ring he apologized profusely and agreed to make it right the next time we’re in Cali or if we placed a online order..
