Oh boy, do I love it when a job like weeding shows real results. It’s kind of like cleaning out the garage. You stand back afterward and think, “Now THAT was worth it!”

But this year, Common Purslane has practically taken over our whole property. In the 35 years we’ve lived here, I’ve never seen anything like it. It’s starting to feel like War of the Worlds around here. Ugh, back to weeding. #

Hilltop Schoolhouse Your support makes a difference for historical preservation. Don't miss the Hilltop School House Us, Colorado, and local history event: Sept. 12th 10am at the Hilltop Schoolhouse.

Sometimes I wonder what people 100 years from now will say about us.

Today, we look back and wonder why certain historic buildings were torn down, neglected, or simply allowed to disappear. We wish someone had stepped in. We wish someone had understood that those old buildings were more than wood, brick, and stone. They were pieces of a community’s story.

But someday, we will be the people they are looking back on.

What will they say about the choices we made?

Imagine someone in the year 2126 walking into a homestead that was built in 1884, or standing in front of a little schoolhouse structure from 1898, and being able to say, “They saved this for us.”

There is something powerful about that.

Preserving our historic buildings isn’t just about protecting the past. It’s about giving something to people we will never meet. It’s about recognizing that once these places are gone, we can never truly bring them back.

We are only the caretakers for a little while.

I hope our generation will be remembered as one that understood the value of what came before us—and cared enough to pass some of it along.

We are feeling especially grateful for the wonderful community that surrounds our little farm.

This summer, the Parker Artists Guild joined us for two beautiful Plein Air events, bringing their easels, creativity, and talent to the farm and giving our visitors the opportunity to watch art come to life right here among the lavender. What an incredible experience.

Two of those talented artists, Bill Parker and Jeslyn Sebold, gave us an unexpected and incredibly meaningful gift. They each donated one of their beautiful paintings to Pollywog Station Lavender Farm.

We are truly touched by their generosity. Their artwork now hangs proudly in our gift shop, where it will remind us not only of a wonderful summer, but of the friendships and connections that make this community so special.

Thank you, Bill and Jeslyn, for sharing your talents with us and for leaving a little piece of your art here at the farm. We are honored to have it.

What an amazing community we are fortunate to be a part of!

A Little Kindness Goes a Long Way

Is there someone in your life who deserves a little “thank you”? A friend, teacher, employee, neighbor or just someone who has been especially kind?

We have a few of those people in our lives too, and that’s what inspired our new Kindness Mug & Lavender Caramel Gift Sets.

Each one pairs a mug with a sweet, uplifting message with a package of our Pioneer Pure Lavender Caramels. A simple little gift made for saying, “I appreciate you.”

These are a seasonal offering with limited quantities, so we’ll have them only while supplies last.

From our little farm to someone who makes your world a little better.

Fainting Goats are Coming to the Farm Fair!

We’re excited to welcome Hancock Farms, a small family farm right here in Parker, Colorado, to our Prairie Bounty Farm Fair! Hancock Farms raises registered fainting goats with a special focus on healthy, friendly goats with wonderful temperaments.

Their goats are part of everyday life on the farm, where they receive lots of attention and each develops a personality all their own. Hancock Farms also enjoys sharing farm life with the community through hands-on experiences and gatherings.

Come meet these fun and playful goats, learn what makes a “fainting goat” so unusual, and have your picture taken with them!

Saturday, August 22
Prairie Bounty Farm Fair at Pollywog Station Lavender Farm. Waitlist registration is available.
