About

Soleado Lavender Farm
Follows a family tradition of land stewardship. Artists
and farmers, Kevin and Sophia have made a life caring for the farm and raising
their son.
While lavender is a newer development, the farm has been
farmed organically by three generations of Sophia's family since 1962.

Artisanal Farming is a hands-on labor of love from start to
finish. Lavender is grown from cuttings, the couple start in an aquaponics
system designed by Kevin. Harvesting, and essential oil distillation are all conducted by hand by hand.
After it is aged the oil is then used in the production of bath and household products.

Innovative practices: Kevin is the first person credited
with starting lavender plants in aquaponics. The farm offers aquaponic raised lavender plants in the spring and fall.
In the fall of 2024 the farm began a two year project of
removing all excess plastics from the operation. Transitioning off of
standard organic practices of using plastic ground cover, moving to cultivation
methods that further support the natural beauty and health of the land. As well as reducing all single use plastic in the greenhouse.
