U-cut Lavender Farm at Sauvie Island Lavender Farm

U-cut lavender is here at Sauvie Island Lavender Farm!  Varieties open to u-cut are: Folgate – a true lavender with a bold violet color, Silver Frost – long stemmed silver stalks topped with velvet blue buds and violet flowers, and Royal Velvet – a dark purple favorite perfect for culinary uses.  Available soon will be Gros Bleu, Grosso, Hidcote Giant, Alba, and Provence .

 

U-cut lavender costs $6.00 for around 300 stems (as much as can fit into our 8 inch twist ties).  We supply everything you need to cut and bundle.  We will even give you a quick cutting lesson to keep our plants healthy.

 

Mulberries are ripe too!  U-pick is $2.50 a pint.  We have containers and gloves if you need them.

 

We are located 3.5 miles from the Sauvie Island Bridge .  Just follow the yellow and purple LAVENDER FARM signs.

Coussens Farms Opens July 3rd!

 Coussens Farms will open for u-pick blueberries on friday July 3 from 9-4.  We will be closed on July 4.  We will open again on July 5 from 12-5.  The berries are sweet and quite large.   Our regular open hours will then return to saturday 9-4 and sunday 12-5.

West Union Gardens

West Union Gardens is having a late start on the berry season (raspberries, marionberries, loganberries, etc.) due to the cold spring. The positive side being that there are lots of berries out there slowly getting sweeter.

Coussens Farms

Coussens Farms berries are being watered and they are starting to turn blue. If the clouds stay away the sun should sweet"n them up in ten days or so. They are ready to go. The grass between the rows is mowed and the berries are just plumping up. Stay tuned for the opening date.
