The Blanco River Lavender Company has been growing its 3,000 lavender plants since April 2005, but the family's farming and ranching roots are more than 100 years deep in the Central Texas soil. Designated as a "Texas Century Ranch" by the Texas Agriculture Commissioner and registered in the "Texas Family Land Heritage Program," owners Stephen and Kennie Smith are proud to welcome visitors to the Blanco River Lavender farm that has been in continuous operation for more than a century by the same family.
