For those of you new to Sauvie Island Lavender Farm, we are located on one of the largest
inland islands in the USA. Sauvie Island is only a few minutes from Portland, Oregon.
We are a mix of farm lands, nursery lands and protected fish and wildlife lands.
Sauvie Island receives around two million visitors a year. That's more than Yosemite
National Park. Folks like to visit for a number of reasons. Favorite activities are
visiting our sandy beaches, birding, hunting, boating, and visiting the wonderful farms
and farm markets for fresh picked produce and of course, lavender. In the dead of winter
is when we get creative here on the farm. This is when we head up to the workshop and
create our wonderful lavender products. This week, we are working on sewing eye masks
and matching sachets to sell here at Local Harvest and stock up for our season when the
farm is open to the public. Next week we will be busy creating lavender bath salts for
our customers. Then it's on to lotions, soaps, massage and bath oils and more!
