Some updates from June, 2021.
Morford Lavender Farm is now closed, and the farm has been sold.
We are moving to Winfield, Kansas, where our son has a farm and expanding lavender operation and honey bee apiary. Rick will now focus more time on his beekeeping operation. Jim has been tabbed as head of lavender propagation and production.
For 2022 plants, you can continue to contact Jim through his contact information at morfordlavenderfarm@gmail.com. New greenhouses are being built and we anticipate everything being ready to go by late Fall, 2021.
Be watching for further details. I’ll try to leave much of our information up for historical perspective, but for now, this will give you an update on what’s changing for our future.
… Even at our age, we are both high energy (even at 75 and 85), have a common faith commitment as progressive Christians, love to spend time doing things together, have common passions, love nature, and just enjoy being with people of common interests.
Neither of us grew up on a farm, so beginning our life together in 2000 near Kanopolis, just a few months after marriage, made our farm a special place where wee spent over 21 years together.
We have allowed our past to inform our vision and future by applying them to what we now do: propagate lavender and other pollinator friendly plants, along with maintaining our small apiary of honey bees. Our many involvements in organizations relating to all of this provides for the opportunity to connect with folks globally to both learn and give back that we may contribute in some small way to advance the positive possibilities of all of this to our world and our lives.
Together … in the greenhouse, in the field, traveling, and in the kitchen making products or preserving food from our crops … we work closely together to enjoy life and provide beauty all around us.
