Welcome to Purple Moon Lavender Farm 
Life's better with lavender!

Lavender1.heic Our beautiful lavender field

Jackie and Glenn Bartsch are life-long farmers, and Purple Moon Lavender Farm was born when Jackie retired from teaching and said, "Why don't we plant some lavender?" What started out as Jackie's 200 plants and a road-side stand quickly became Glenn's 2800 lavender plants and full lavender farm. Purple Moon currently has 10 cultivars of lavender with more on the way, distills lavender oil right from the field, holds classes and events seasonally, and produces beautiful lavender-themed products. We delight in finding ways to infuse the beauty of lavender into daily life.
