ABOUT PALMER LAVENDER FARM
Cultivated With Care
Every step of the process is approached with care, patience, and intention. From preparing the soil and tending the lavender fields to harvesting and distillation, the work is rooted in a deep respect for the land and the natural beauty that surrounds it.
Lavender is carefully grown through each season using thoughtful farming practices that focus on quality over quantity. As the fields begin to bloom, the farm comes alive with fragrance, color, and the peaceful atmosphere lavender is known for. Once harvested, the lavender is thoughtfully distilled and transformed into handcrafted products inspired by simplicity, wellness, and everyday living.
The process is hands-on from beginning to end, allowing each product to reflect the time, care, and craftsmanship behind it. Whether it’s dried lavender, essential oils, or small-batch creations from the farm, everything is made with the goal of sharing the calming and timeless nature of lavender.
Inspired by the quiet beauty of Central Oregon, Palmer Lavender Farm embraces a slower pace of life — one centered around meaningful work, sustainability, and creating something genuine from the land itself.
From Field to Distillation
The distillation process begins in the fields during harvest season, when the lavender blooms are carefully cut and gathered by hand. The fresh lavender buds are then packed into a small-batch distillation tank, where steam is used to gently open the blooms and release their natural oils.
As the water beneath the tank is heated, steam rises through the lavender, capturing the plant’s aromatic properties before traveling through a cooling system of coils. Once cooled, the liquid naturally separates into two products — pure lavender essential oil and hydrosol, a lightly lavender-infused botanical water known for its soft fragrance and versatile uses.
The entire process is hands-on and intentionally small-batch, allowing each harvest to be carefully monitored from start to finish. From the fields to the final distilled products, every step reflects a commitment to quality, simplicity, and the calming nature of lavender itself.
Signature Lavender Blend
More than 15 different varieties of lavender are grown throughout the fields, creating a landscape filled with rich color, texture, and fragrance during the blooming season. Each variety offers something a little different — from deep purple blooms and soft silver tones to sweet floral aromas and earthy herbal notes.
Together, the different varieties create a natural balance throughout the fields, blending beauty, fragrance, and character into every season. Some lavender blooms early, while others reach their peak later in the summer, allowing the fields to continuously change and evolve as the season progresses.
The diversity of the lavender grown on the farm is what helps create the farm’s signature scent and identity. Rather than focusing on a single variety, Palmer Lavender Farm embraces the beauty of growing many different types together — allowing the fields themselves to reflect the depth, simplicity, and calming nature lavender is known for.
Throughout the growing season, the fields become filled with movement, fragrance, and color, creating a peaceful atmosphere inspired by the natural beauty and slower pace of life found in Central Oregon.
OUR STORY
Palmer Lavender Farm is a true labor of love nestled beneath the Three Sisters Mountains. Our owner, Robert, is a native Oregonian who grew up working in the bean and raspberry fields of Southeast Portland. While his years in the service took him away for a time, he never abandoned his dream of one day cultivating a lavender farm of his own.
Robert began his own landscaping business in 1980, where he gained experience tending to others' plants and properties. For him, a landscape shouldn't merely be functional- it should be a source of inspiration, harmony, and tranquility. In 2016, he finally turned his lifelong vision into a reality, purchasing five acres of land outside of Sisters, Oregon. He named the property Palmer Lavender Farm, a tribute to his mother, Louis Palmer. What began as one man’s vision has since blossomed into a well-known local fixture, thanks to the support of the vibrant Sisters community.
Today, Robert personally propagates, grows, and distills over 15 different varieties of lavender on his farm. These harvests are crafted into candles, essential oils, hydrosols, and other products valued for their unique scent and natural calming and healing properties. You can find Palmer Lavender Farm products locally at Great Harvest Bakery, Sisters Saloon, Martoli’s Pizza, and at the farm itself.
