During the winter and spring months, our farm store is open during public workshops or events. Otherwise, we are only open by appointment. Please reach out to schedule a visit.

We recently purchased a lavender harvester from New Zealand. This harvester is only available in New Zealand or China. We knew we would have some type of import tax aka tariff to pay but were surprised when we received a bill for a 50% tariff because the harvester is considered an aluminum derivative and not a machine!

Let’s Fact-Check statements our leaders have been saying about tariffs recently:

“Foreign countries pay the tariffs”

This is a frequently repeated but false claim. Tariffs are taxes or duties levied on imported goods, and they are paid to the U.S. government by the U.S.-based importer (companies, not foreign nations).

Reality: U.S. companies importing goods pay the tariffs. These costs are largely passed on to American consumers through higher prices or absorbed by the importing companies as lower profits.

“Tariffs do not raise prices for American consumers”

Related to the above, this claim is consistently fact-checked as false. Economists broadly agree that tariffs increase the price of goods for consumers.

Reality: Studies show that American individuals and businesses bear the overwhelming majority of the cost of recent tariffs on imported goods.

Historical evidence and recent studies show that tariffs are taxes that raise prices and reduce available quantities of goods and services for US businesses and consumers, resulting in lower income, reduced employment, and lower economic output.

So, if you didn’t already know, it’s really us, the American consumer, that pays the tariff. Thanks for letting me vent!

In our latest workshop, guests were invited on a sensory journey using an array of aromatic and botanic elements. Thank you to Chelsea and StaySea for their knowledge and guidance through smudge making, tasseology and Tarot card reading. What a magical afternoon we all had 🪄🥰

I had such a lovely time yesterday with the University Women's Club of Douglas County. Thank you for inviting me to speak on lavender and my Why! I love to share how I began this lavender adventure with others and in doing so, I hope to inspire others to learn how they can better connect with nature while supporting pollinators.

Thank you again, and I hope to welcome you to the lavender next season!

Thank you to everyone who helped plant the new field, cut their own bunch, made a wreath, sipped on lavender lemonade, painted a purple-hued vista, practiced yoga on the lawn, weaved ribbon for a lavender wand, nibbled on a lavender treat, celebrated a birthday in the barn, took a photo with a dog in the labyrinth, shopped in our petite boutique, gave the horse a carrot, named a baby lavender plant, attempted to pet a lamb, visited the bees, imprinted lavender in ceramic clay, hammered a lavender stamp into silver, laughed amongst new friends, learned how to make soap, and simply enjoyed themselves and shared this joy with others here at Sierra Shadows Lavender & Honey.

We are so grateful for you and the memories we created together in 2025.

Thank you 💜 Happy New Year, 2026 💜
We look forward to a new season with you 💜

We took these photos two days ago, December 20th, before this new storm system rolled in. It’s amazing how well these babies did this year! We planted the plugs mid-June and have monitored their growth since then. We stopped watering back in October but they continued to grow and thrive. Now, the real test comes: winter, with its rain, snow, wind, and oftentimes, weird heat spells❄️

We’ll post more as the winter progresses as we wait in anticipation for this field’s first complete season!

In the meantime, Think Snow! ⛄️ and stay warm out there! ♥️

Thank you to everyone who joined us yesterday for a fun session on soap-making. As well as using our lavender oil and honey, guests got to choose from other scents to create their own take home soaps, just in time for gift giving. We love the laughter, learning, and camaraderie that happens in the Barn. We hope everyone had as much fun as we did 💜

Winter begins to take hold with each passing day: rain, wind, freezing fog, and eventually snow. Looking forward to this change in seasons: a time for rest and retrospect. 💜

We still have a few events on our calendar. However, our store will continue to be open by appointment after our last hurrah of the season: December 14th!

Taking down our sheep fencing led to a surprising discovery - the amazing transformation from larvae to ladybug! Life's precious moments are often hidden in the smallest, most overlooked things.

We wish this incredible young woman all the best as she embarks on new adventures and explores greener pastures. Her dedication and work ethic are inspiring, but it’s her bright smile that truly made her shine. From tending to our lavender fields and beehives to leading tours and crafting products, Olivia’s contributions have been invaluable. We’ll miss her radiant personality, kind heart, and contagious laughter. We’re honored to have worked alongside her and wish her continued success in her future endeavors.

Years ago I bought some food wraps in a little health food store in Hawaii. During the Covid era, I was horrified at how much single-use plastic we were burning through so I learned how to make these durable, washable, and REUSABLE wraps using our beeswax!

I just finished a batch as we were sold out! Come grab yours before they sell out again!

Did you know that lavender was used to protect against evil spirits and dangerous entities?

Its peaceful promotion as a sleep aid can help keep those nightmares at bay.

It is also believed that sprigs of dried lavender or sachets filled with lavender buds can be carried as personal protection or hung over doorways or windows to ward off any evil or negative spirits!

Dried lavender can be used in smudging for purification.

Bathing with lavender may promote spiritual awakening and relaxation.

Dried lavender was sprinkled on straw mattresses to keep the mice and their creepy crawly fleas away during the Black Plague.

How would you use this magical herb??

We have dried lavender if you’d like to keep scary monsters away this Halloween! 🎃 (We have other fun things, as well!)

Sweater Weather is officially here!

All the lavender has been pruned and readied for the approaching weather. The recent Frostmas event reminds us that our season has almost come to an end. We have a few more events on the calendar before we, like our lavender, snuggle in for the winter ahead.

We are so grateful for the summer we had and the people we’ve met along the way. We love sharing what we’ve learned about growing lavender in Northern Nevada these past eight years with our community. We have made so many friendships and have created lasting collaborations with other pollinator-loving people.

We cherish every moment and every opportunity we have had this past season to bring people together to spread beauty and kindness in our valley and beyond. Thank you for being an integral part of our journey!

Wow! Creativity was buzzing here at Sierra Shadows Lavender and Honey as Marci Mendoza of Casa de Turquoise taught two back-to-back jewelry making workshops this weekend! Friday, guests made their own unique lavender-wrapped rings while Saturday, guests created beautiful bee pendants with semi-precious stones.

We love sharing our space and place with the artistic community, our neighbors, and friends. We are a short drive from Tahoe and the surrounding area. If you’re looking for something unique to do, join us in one of our future events or workshops 💕 link in bio.

Today, we will be welcoming Michelle Mulligan for a pottery class!

Mulching has begun! Why mulch?

Mulching the bare soil between our lavender rows in Northern Nevada can provide significant benefits, especially given the region’s arid climate, high elevation, and intense sun.

Here are some of advantages of mulching bare soil…

Mulching has begun! Why mulch?

Mulching the bare soil between our lavender rows in Northern Nevada can provide significant benefits, especially given the region’s arid climate, high elevation, and intense sun.

That’s a Wrap, folks! Six weeks of grueling competition! The competitors were fierce, funny, and photogenic! We loved the creativity, humor, and thought that went into everyone’s submissions!! We’ve learned a lot along the way, but I believe we’ve also built a community of lavender-lovers!

Our final week of competition ended with these results:

Most Photogenic: Amaranthine aka Mara
Most Improved: François
Most Dramatic: Baby Snooks

Thank you to all the participants that dared to be weird and goofy for the sake of silliness!

This final week’s winners will be receiving a gift card for any of our products or workshops! ❤️😘

Can’t wait to see all the babies next season!

Excited to be a part of this year’s Garden Tour! We’ve been working on our The Pollinator Partnership project!

Excited to be a part of this year’s Garden Tour! We’ve been working on our The Pollinator Partnership project!

Our babies are starting to look like a real lavender field! This production field has four cultivars of lavandula angustifolia for our culinary creations and five lavandula x.intermedia for oil distillation for our other products, and bunches! You’ll be able to discover several of these new cultivars in our demonstration garden next season!

Besides lavender, we’ve partnered up with @vitalbeebuds and have started planting a hedgerow for the native pollinators and for weed mitigation along the west side (along the windy slope). We will start adding mulch before the fall to help with weeds and to keep the soil in place.

“Why lavender?” people ask. Well, lavender makes me happy. It evokes my memories of France. It’s therapeutic. It’s drought resistant and needs little water once established. Pollinators love it. So, why not? Life is short; get your hands dirty and go plant something!
