Lavender Wind Farm is now Western Sun Lavender, with a view of the Olympic Mountains and the Strait of Juan De Fuca on the wild west side of beautiful Whidbey Island in Washington state. The farm is within the Ebey's Landing National Historical Reserve, and maintains the farming culture of this special area. We have the perfect growing conditions for lavender, with only about 18 inches of rain a year due to the Olympic Rain Shadow, lots of wind and plenty of sun.
The land it sits on has been farmed for over 100 years. Sarah Richards, the previous owner, bought the original 5 acres from the Darst family who had raised potatoes on the land for years. The soil is a rich sandy loam. Later she bought an additional 3.75 acres to plant more lavender.
In 2012 Lavender Wind expanded into Historic Coupeville at 15 Coveland Street, in a cute bungalow house that has been converted into a manufacturing facility and gift shop.
In 2021 the farm part of the operation was sold and is now operating as Western Sun Lavender. Schedule a tour of the farm during bloom season and learn more at Western Sun Lavender.
