Havesting Lavender at Purple Ranch Lavender Farm

It's harvest time at Purple Ranch Lavender Farm. The field was humming with the sounds of nature. Thousands of bees forged for pollen from the lavender blooms. Butterflies fluttered from plant to plant. It was hot but also very relaxing. Our Purple Ranch Body Mister came in handy. Wand weaving was the general past time. It was truly enjoyable under the pergola. I can't wait until we get the misters installed. We are getting ready for the Rowlett Freedom Festival. Should be a good event for us. I hope to see you out at the farm. Until next time. Lavender Up!

Purple Ranch Lavender Field at Sunset

Here at Purple Ranch we love lavender. As a photographer there is something special to me when I set down in our fields and just take it all in. The smells, the sounds not to mention the view. At least once a week I walk around the farm looking for that special shot. I caught this shot at sunset. It looked like the purple in the lavender was reflecting off the sky. It was very calming not to mention the sweet smell of lavender. It doesn't get much better than this. It is harvest time. I hope I will see some of you out at the farm. Until next time. Lavender Up!

Royse City Ribbon Cutting at Purple Ranch Lavender Farm

Royse City Ribbon Cutting at Purple Ranch Lavender Farm, originally uploaded by Purple Ranch Lavender Farm.

Purple Ranch had a very successful ribbon cutting ceremony on June 3, 2008. Over forty people from the Royse City area came out to celebrate the event. Special thanks to the Royse City Chamber of Commerce and Julia Bryant for her hard work. All visitors received a door prize and a great lunch catered by Soulman's Bar-B-Que. The wind was roaring about 100 miles an hour and hamburger buns and plates were flying everywhere. I thought I was going to have to the nail gun out to attach that brisket to the plates. Everyone seemed to have a great time and I was glad I could be a part of the event. Until next time. Lavender Up!
