We love pouring honey where it's made — among the flowers the bees actually forage. This summer we poured our just-harvested spring honey right at the lavender farm, and it was a joy. Our tasting season has wrapped for the year; join our list and we'll let you know as soon as the next one is on the calendar.
This year's tasting set up right in the rows at April Farms' Lavender Farm — and the honey in the jars was made right there. We poured and sold this season's spring honey, freshly harvested from that very lavender farm.
This year's headline: we tasted and sold this season's spring honey — freshly harvested right from April Farms' lavender farm. Visitors tasted honey made in the very field they were standing in, talked bees and pollinators with us, and took home honey and beeswax straight from the hive, all surrounded by rows of blooming lavender.
No tickets, no fuss — just good honey, friendly conversation, and a beautiful place to spend an hour. Here's what the weekend held.
Guests tried this season's spring honey, freshly harvested right there at the lavender farm — plus our other raw, unfiltered honeys from across the season.
Visitors took home this year's fresh spring honey and pure beeswax straight from the hive — bottled from the very field they were standing in.
Guests wandered the blooming rows and cut fresh bouquets of lavender to carry home — the perfect companion to a jar of honey.
Plenty of folks were curious about honeybees, pollinators, and getting started keeping bees. We love those conversations — and we're always happy to keep having them.
April Farms' Lavender Farm sits in the rolling hills near Gaston, in the heart of the Willamette Valley — about an hour southwest of Portland. Our tasting table was set up among the lavender rows.
Folks brought hats and sunscreen, came hungry for honey, and left with a fresh bouquet of lavender in hand. We hope to be back.
Honey tastes best where the bees make it.
Tastings are our favorite way to share what we do — pouring raw honey among the very flowers the bees forage, and talking pollinators with anyone who stops by. Thank you to everyone who came out this year; we hope you'll say hello at the next one.
