Shop botanical goods at our farm stand, explore murals & book a tour by appointment—a place to wander & experience the land. Rooted in the Columbia River Gorge, Among the Trees Botanical Lavender Farm (formerly McLaughlin Lavender) is a women-owned, Native American-owned small farm dedicated to cultivating beauty, wellness, and community through lavender and regenerative agriculture. 🌿🪻

We grow l

avender, herbs, flowers, and plant starts among native oak trees on our farm in Goldendale, Washington — creating botanical garden pockets gently woven into the land. Our goal is to work with nature, supporting pollinators, encouraging beneficial insects, and building healthy soil through regenerative farming practices. From our farm we craft a range of lavender and botanical goods — from soothing self-care products to culinary lavender and herbal offerings — all inspired by the land. You can find our products at The Dalles, OR and Hood River, OR Farmers Markets, and local events across the Columbia River Gorge, at our Little Lavender Boutique in the Market Place Underground in downtown La Grande, Oregon (1101 Washington Ave Suite 26), or by visiting our farm store in Goldendale, Washington, available by appointment along with farm tours. Our journey began with lavender plants in a backyard garden in La Grande and has grown into building a small botanical lavender farm and community gathering space. We proudly support other small businesses and makers and love collaborating with our regional farming and artisan community.

✨ Come grow with us — from seed to self-care, there’s always something blooming Among the Trees.

Congratulations to the beautiful couple! 🤍

What an absolutely gorgeous evening for a wedding. Surrounded by the mountains, with the most beautiful backdrop and so much love gathered in one place — it was one of those evenings that reminds you just how special these moments are.

Most of you know us for lavender, animals and life here on the farm, but Among the Trees shares its owners with our other little business, McLaughlin Events. This weekend we traded farm chores and market booths for timelines, details and wedding coordination as we helped bring this beautiful day together in Cove, Oregon.

There is something incredibly special about getting to stand behind the scenes and watch months of planning turn into a day someone will remember for the rest of their life.

Congratulations to the newlyweds. Thank you for trusting us to be a small part of such a beautiful chapter of your story.

And seriously… those mountains. What a backdrop. 🤍

A little Friday reminder from Among the Trees — we won’t be at market tomorrow!

We’re trading our lavender booth for wedding coordination this weekend as McLaughlin Events heads to Cove, Oregon in eastern Oregon to coordinate our last wedding of the season. It’s going to be a beautiful one, and we’re excited to put our event-planner hats on for the weekend!

But that doesn’t mean you have to go without your Among the Trees favorites.

Our online shop is OPEN and stocked with plenty of lavender goodness — botanical bath + body products, candles, teas, culinary lavender products and more, all handcrafted in small batches.

So while we’re off helping another couple have a very special day, you can still shop our little farm from wherever you are.

And every online order truly does make a difference. It supports this little regenerative, off-grid farm we’re building, helps feed a rather large collection of animals, and allows us to keep growing, creating and dreaming up what comes next Among the Trees.

We’ll miss seeing our market friends tomorrow, but we’ll be back soon!

Until then, the virtual farm stand is open.

Sometimes the farm makes us stop.

In between the projects, the markets, making products, hauling water, fixing fences, caring for animals and trying to grow things in a very challenging summer… there are these little moments.

The evening light coming through the trees. The llamas quietly grazing. Everything settling down for the night.

And for a minute, there’s nothing to fix or build or figure out.

We just get to look around.

Almost one year on these 20 acres, and sometimes I still can’t believe this is home.

Our funny, beautiful, imperfect little farm among the trees.

There is still so much we want to build here.

But tonight, this is enough.

September Among the Trees

September is going to be a special month on the farm.

When we moved onto these 20 acres, we dreamed about more than growing lavender, raising animals and building a regenerative farm. With Among the Trees Botanical Lavender Farm and our other business, McLaughlin Events, we have this really special opportunity to create a place where people can gather, too.

A place to learn. Create. Connect. Ask questions. Meet someone new. Slow down for an evening. And experience a little bit of what we're building here Among the Trees.

This September, that part of the dream is really starting to come to life.

September 20 | 3–5 PM — One Year Among the Trees - Grand Opening & Ribbon Cutting

It has officially been ONE YEAR since we began turning these beautiful 20 acres into our regenerative, off-grid farm — and we want you to come see how we're doing things differently.

Wander the farm. Meet the llamas, mini goats, fluffy chickens, and farm dogs. See our lavender, gardens, hand painted murals, and greenhouses. Learn about the off-grid and regenerative systems we're experimenting with, how we're working with the land rather than against it, and hear about what has worked — and what absolutely has not — during our first year.

This is a celebration of how far Among the Trees has come, everything we're building through McLaughlin Events, and the people who have supported these crazy dreams along the way.

Come see the beginning. We still have SO much we want to do.

Please RSVP so we know you're coming!

September 24 | 6 PM — Fall Dried Flower Wreath Making Workshop in the Meadow Greenhouse

Come spend an early fall evening creating among the trees.

We'll be making beautiful 12-inch fall wreaths using dried flowers, lavender and seasonal botanical accents inside our Meadow Greenhouse with views into the surrounding oak forest.

Your ticket includes your wreath and materials, snacks, lavender lemonade and a mini farm tour.

Come make something beautiful, spend an evening on the farm and take a little piece of Among the Trees home with you.

September 29 | 6 PM — Goldendale Women in Business

Our two businesses get to come together again as McLaughlin Events hosts our next Goldendale Women in Business gathering right here on the farm.

Whether you own a business, work for a local business, have a new idea you've been dreaming about, or simply want to connect with other women doing interesting things in our community — you're invited.

This isn't about stuffy networking. It's about meeting each other, sharing ideas, making genuine connections and creating the kind of community where we actually support one another.

RSVP and more info here: https://goldendalewomeninbiz.rsvpify.com

And you don't have to wait for an event to visit us!

Throughout September you can also make an appointment to pick up our fresh Forest Foraged Eggs, schedule a free farm tour, or come shop our Little Lavender Farm Store. We love welcoming people out here and showing you what we're building.

Three September gatherings. Fresh eggs. Farm tours. A tiny lavender shop tucked among the trees.

And one little farm that's becoming so much more than we imagined.

We hope you'll come experience it for yourself this September.

FOREST FORAGED EGGS — 7 dozen available!

Our girls have been BUSY!

Fed organic feed and free-ranging all day among the trees, our chickens spend their days scratching through the forest floor, hunting for bugs, dust bathing beneath the oaks, and generally living their very best chicken lives.

We call the result our Forest Foraged Eggs — and just wait until you crack one open.

Beautiful eggs in all sorts of natural colors with gorgeous, deep orange yolks and rich, delicious flavor. The kind of egg that makes even a simple fried egg something special.

Our flock is raised here on our no-spray, regenerative farm, where we use zero chemicals on the property. And yes — we are officially WA State egg-endorsed!

We eat these constantly at home: fried for breakfast with a little of our herbal salt, used in baking, and one of our favorites — homemade Scotch eggs! Medium-boiled farm eggs wrapped in sausage, breaded and cooked until golden. DELISH.

We currently have 7 dozen available, and once they’re gone, we wait for the girls to make more!

Send us a message to claim a dozen OR make an Egg Pickup Appointment online and we’ll have your carton waiting for you at the farm:

I am heartbroken this morning.

After such an incredibly fulfilling weekend at the Azure Harvest Festival, we came home feeling so full — grateful for the people we met, inspired by the conversations we had, and excited to keep building this strange, beautiful little farm of ours.

And then I walked out to the gardens this morning.

Deer broke through our fencing overnight.

They ate every tomato. Our peppers. Our kale. They moved through the dahlia garden and ate bud after bud — flowers I have spent the entire summer waiting to see.

And I just stood there.

This garden has been a labor of love through an incredibly hot and challenging summer. There were so many times I wondered if I could even keep everything alive.

There isn’t a water source near this garden, so I’ve hauled 5-gallon buckets of water out here over and over again. I rigged up a little solar irrigation pump. We mulched with bedding from our animals to help hold every bit of moisture we could. I checked plants in the heat, adjusted watering, watched things struggle, watched them recover, and kept going.

The dahlias had an especially hard start.

But they made it.

Over the last few weeks, they finally started growing like crazy. Buds were appearing everywhere. Every morning I would walk out and look to see which one might open next. After everything it took to keep them going this summer, watching those first flowers bloom felt like this tiny little reward.

I was so excited to see them all.

And now so many of those buds are just… gone.

The vegetables hurt too. Months of growing food, watching tiny tomatoes form, waiting for peppers to ripen, tending the kale — gone in a single night.

Our deer fencing has worked this entire season. We see deer constantly out here, but they had left these gardens alone. I thought we had figured it out.

Apparently, last night, one of them figured us out instead.

I know that this is farming. I know that we live among wildlife. I know that when you choose to grow things, sometimes you lose them.

But today I don’t really need to find the lesson in it.

I’m just sad.

I’m sad for all of those mornings carrying water. I’m sad for all the tiny buds I checked every day. I’m sad for the food we were going to harvest. I’m sad because I worked really, really hard to keep this little garden alive through a summer that did not make it easy.

We’ll put up more fencing today. We’ll protect whatever is left. The dahlias are still alive, and hopefully they’ll forgive us and try again.

Tomorrow I’ll probably feel more determined.

But today, this one just really hurts.

What a wonderfully fulfilling weekend at the Azure Standard Harvest Festival.

There was something really special about being surrounded by people from all over the country who are trying to live a little differently — growing their own food, homesteading, choosing organic gardening practices, learning traditional skills, and finding ways to work with the land rather than against it.

We met SO many wonderful people, had some incredible conversations, and perhaps the biggest surprise of the weekend was discovering just how many of you are living off-grid too! There were a lot of “you too?!” conversations at our little trailer this weekend.

And today was even sweeter because Mr. Lavender and Pluto joined me! After Mr. Lavender held down Hood River Farmers Market yesterday, it was so nice having the whole crew together at Azure today — and Pluto got to experience his first Azure Harvest Festival and meet plenty of new friends.

Building our farm the way we are isn’t always the easiest route, but weekends like this are such a wonderful reminder that there’s a whole community of people out there asking the same questions, learning as they go, and trying to be thoughtful stewards of the little piece of land they get to call home.

We came to Azure excited for our first year. We’re leaving feeling inspired, connected, and very grateful.

Thank you to everyone who stopped by our little trailer, shared your stories, asked about our farm, supported our small business, loved on Pluto, or simply stayed awhile to chat.

And thank you, Azure Harvest Festival, for creating such a special gathering and for welcoming us into it.

We already cannot wait for next year.

Mr. Lavender and I are dividing and conquering this weekend!

Today we’re in two places at once. Will is holding down our booth at Hood River Farmers Market, and I’m in Dufur, Oregon with our freshly repaired little Farm Stand Market Trailer for our first year at the Azure Harvest Festival!

It still feels a little wild that this little lavender farm we’ve been building has grown enough that we can be at two events in two different places on the same day.

If you’re in Hood River, go say hi to Mr. Lavender and shop the booth! And if you’re headed to Dufur, come find me and the little white trailer at Azure.

Two markets. Two McLaughlins. One very busy lavender farm.
