Shamrock Farm

July 15 Farm Update 💪

Mid-July is when the farm has a pretty good hold on us.

Every day is a balancing act—figuring out what absolutely has to get done, what can wait until tomorrow, and somehow getting everything ready for next week’s Lavender & Garlic Market.

Over the years, we’ve learned there will always be another job waiting. You do what’s most important, keep moving, and trust that, somehow, it all comes together.

This morning started with harvesting flowers for 5th Street Florist . Thank you for the orders, Ariana! After that, the team split up to make the most of the dry weather. Half spent the day pulling, cleaning, sorting, and hanging garlic in the barn, while the other half picked flowers for drying in the rafters and bundled more lavender for the wall—ready to hang tomorrow.

The old barn is slowly changing with the season. For most of the year it’s filled with tractors and equipment, but every summer we sweep it clean and fill it with garlic, flowers, and the scent of lavender. Watching it transform into a space where people can gather has become one of our favourite parts of the season.

We’re looking forward to welcoming you next week.
