Hill Country Lavender is Blanco's original commercial lavender farm. Owner Tasha Brieger has been involved with the farm since 1999 when the first lavender sprig was planted at the original location, owned at the time by National Geographic photographer Robb Kendrick and author Jeannie Ralston. After serving as the farm's manager for several years, Tasha purchased Hill Country Lavender and relocated the farm just north of Blanco on Highway 281, behind McCall Creek Farms.
