It's time for rest and regrowth for Nevada lavender. Thanks for sharing Viking Girl Lavender.
And just like that… the 2026 lavender harvest is in the books. 💜🌿
The last of the lavender has been harvested, and every bit has been put to work.
Some has been dried and processed into buds for our sachets and culinary products. The rest headed to the still, where it became the lavender essential oil and hydrosol we’ll use in Viking Girl products throughout the coming year.
The field looks a whole lot different than it did a few weeks ago. The purple is gone. The bees have moved on. And after weeks of harvesting, drying, debudding and distilling, there’s something pretty satisfying about looking out there and knowing what came from those rows.
We’re not quite finished yet. 😂
The plants still need their annual trim, and we’re going to try our hand at propagating again—because apparently 650 lavender plants aren’t enough to keep us busy.
But the biggest part of our farm year is complete.
It’s one of my favorite things about Viking Girl Lavender: so much of what goes into the products on our shelves starts right here, in this little field in Mason Valley.
Grown here. Harvested here. Processed here. Made here. 💜
From our field to your home.
