The Meadows at Flat Creek

WHERE ARE WE?  Our lavender farm is at 852 Flat Creek Rd. From Johnson City, go west on 290 one mile, left on Flat Creek Rd (CR204) ..3/4 mile on the right.  Johnson City is less than an hour from Austin or San Antonio and less than 30 minutes from  Fredericksburg or Marble Falls. 

WHO ARE WE?  We relocated to the Hill Country in 2005 from Houston determined to 'simplify our lives'.  What a difference!  Lavender planting was one of the first agenda items for Chelita.  For Tex, it was a shiny new John Deere tractor, goats and llamas.  These days, our trips to Houston are fewer and we have slowed down to the country life, working fourteen hours a day now, rather than the ten we worked in Houston.  The Meadows at Flat Creek, the lavender farm, the animals, the garden, the cultivated acres and our home are all works in progress, but we wouldn't trade our muddy boots and tired bones for the corporate suits we left behind! Who would have known so many projects could be in process at any one time? During the October 4 Texas Hill Country Lavender Festival, Tex will be demonstrating distillation of lavender and give you hints on his handbuilt stainless steel and copper distiller.  If you are from the City, He might even let you sit on his tractor. 

The Meadows at Flat Creek will offer Texas Hill Country-made Lavender Products on October 4 at the first fall Texas Hill Country Lavender Festival.   Chelita will resume creating "Born in the Hill Country" Little People to be available in the 2009 season.   

We are always available to spend time with you to discuss what works in growing lavender....how to plant, when to plant, when to trim, what  kind and our most asked question, "My lavender __________ (fill in the blank).  What should I do?" 

The Meadows at Flat Creek, a Texas Hill Country Lavender Farm, was a farm sponsor of the 2006 and 2007 Blanco Lavender Festival, www.blancolavenderfest.com/
