In the Early 1900’s the McBride family owned much of the land in the area including what is now Lavender Hollow Farm. Spinach fields filled the hollow where Lavender now takes root. After years of Spinach farming, the locals used the Hollow for Rodeo. Remnants of the Rodeo Shoot still stand, and can be seen concealed within the Chickentree. It was these Cowboys over 50 years ago that planted our loved Chickentree. It wasn’t until 1978 when Bill and Alice Taylor realized their dream of country living, and purchased the bare land. Our family now celebrates Ochoa de Mayo the day we moved to the property. Everything you see today has been built and planted by the family, with the exception of our Chickentree; we thank the cowboys seeking a little shade for their Rodeo.
