One thing about having a farm is realizing that we grow more than just flowers on a farm.
It’s hard to believe that Ava first started working with us at just 13 years old, well “almost” 14. She may have been a little creative about her age and eager to work when she first came to us, but she quickly became an important part of our farm.
Over the years, she’s done a little bit of everything, always saying “of course” when asked— cutting lavender and flowers, weeding, watering, pruning, preparing the fields for winter; making bouquets for our dried floral shop and helping customers with her sweet smile.
We’ve had the joy of watching her grow, learn, work hard, and see her become the confident young woman she is today. Ava has truly become part of our farm family, and we’re going to miss having at Slate Hill Lavender Farm
We’re so proud of her and her achievements, and excited for her next chapter. Wishing you all the best at college — and thank you for all the years of dedication, hard work, giggles, smiles and memories.
We’ll miss you! 💜
Mike, Maria & Katie
