Blue Spring Run Farm

Our farm has gone through many phases during our family's lifetime. 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 we both have turned to growing and developing our lavender patch hoping that one day it will become the lavender field that we envision. In addition to further developing my love of lavender, we have returned to one of John's favorite past times, working with honey bees. He loves these little creatures, and their wonderful ability to help make our plant's grow as well as providing us with tasty honey and many other useful by-products.
