Dahlia-forward, hand-tied with the season's supporting cast. Anchored by our wedding-grade dahlias (Bride-to-Be, Glacier, Clearview Orca), with zinnia, cosmos, snapdragon, sunflower, and amaranthus mixed in depending on what's cutting that week. Cut at first light and conditioned standing in water.
A purple-streaked hardneck heirloom with a clean, sweet heat. Planted on the autumn equinox, lifted in July when the scape curls back twice, braided in August and cured in the open barn.
One hundred twenty-five trees, mostly Jefferson with Felix, Yamhill, and Wepster pollinators. The grove went in this spring and is on irrigation. First commercial harvest expected autumn 2027.
Seven acres of lavender on the Commonage ridge above Okanagan Lake. Hot dry summer sun, fast-draining gravel, full exposure. English lavender propagated from our Fort Langley hedge, hand-cut and dried in the open barn.
Staccato sweet cherries from our Valley Road orchard in Kelowna. A late-ripening variety bred by Agriculture Canada, picking two to three weeks after the main Okanagan harvest. The late window is the point.
