Experience the Original Heritage Lavender Farms
that have made Sequim famous for 17 years!
For
over 17 years the world has flocked to the Sequim-Dungeness Valley for
the joys of lavender…and the original Sequim lavender farms that started it all! The Sequim Lavender Farm Faire – “The Faire”
– connects you to all of the historic and world famous farms that you
have visited or heard about and that have made Sequim an international
lavender destination.
The Sequim Lavender Farm Faire is your “go to” location for the summer… the original Heritage Lavender Farm Tour is the life-enhancing event that will inspire and amaze you, and Lavender Arts and Crafts Faire in the Park is the free, gorgeous family friendly all-day park venue.
The Story of Sequim Lavender
The Sequim lavender movement began in 1995 when a group of passionate farmers sought to restore the agricultural heritage of the fertile Sequim valley. Today, the Sequim Lavender Farmers Association grows and supports the production of premium quality lavender on family owned farms. These dedicated farmers are working toward a common goal of preserving and promoting lavender in the Sequim-Dungeness Valley and making Sequim the worldwide destination for lavender lovers.
Why Charge For The Lavender Farm Tour?
The Faire is our annual fundraising event... a festival at each farm on tour every summer to raise dollars for our programs, the community, the industry-wide lavender conference, and to help us meet our mission of promoting, educating, and inspiring the importance of lavender and all its benefits, and giving back to the community. And, revenue from ticket/button sales helps offset the high costs of producing this extraordinary event and taking care of thousands of visitors from around the world.
Giving Back to the Community
We are deeply connected to the communities in which we live and work. At Lavender in the Park we feature Community Lavender Links, a program for the promotion and health of our nonprofit community. We give free booth space to more than 15 nonprofit organizations so all the money they raise goes directly to their programs.
Sequim Lavender Weekend
Thanks to the sponsorship and support of the City of Sequim, Sequim Lavender Weekend
is a community-wide celebration with multiple events celebrating this
amazing plant. Access all the lavender events and transportation options
at www.sequimlavenderweekend.com, or
at any of the information booths. In addition to the information
booths, marketing, and coordination of signage, the City of Sequim is
also providing a free In-City Shuttle Service, linking all of the
events and major parking lots. Thanks to the City of Sequim for helping
all of us create a greater celebration for all to enjoy.
Ciscoe Morris Returns to the Opening Ceremonies!
The official opening of the Sequim Lavender Farm Faire takes place on Friday July 19 at 11:30 a.m. at the Faire’s Lavender in the Park at Carrie Blake/Reuse Demonstration Park. The opening features the rousing and patriotic sounds of the 133rd Army Band, based at Camp Murray. Northwest favorite media personality and master gardener Cisco Morris returns
to anoint us all with lavender “buds” and his great energy and
knowledge. We will honor our veterans and our community with a program
of patriotic and band standards—and, of course, a shower of lavender
buds on everyone.
