  Lavender Ridge was established on the remnants of an old farmstead dating back to the 1920's. Owners Mike and Kristen Harris traveled extensively visiting other lavender farms, some as far away as New Zealand to learn the art of cultivation, distillation and the many uses for the varied types of lavender and flowers.
  
  Tours of the farm are available as well as special events and rental facilties.
  
  Lavender Ridge grows many varieties of Lavender including "Royal Velvet", "Hicote", "Provence", "Violet Intrigue", "Gene Davis", "Munstead", and more. The 3,000 plus Lavender plants in out fields are free from pesticides and irrigated with the natural, crisp, clear waters of the Truckee River with its source; Lake Tahoe and High Sierra snow pack.
