SEQUIM, Wash. (AP) — There’s been a falling out among the farmers that raise lavender around Sequim (skwim) on the Olympic Peninsula.
They all grow fields of fragrant purple herbs, but they don’t all agree.
Six farms split this month from the Sequim Lavenders Growers Association to form the Sequim Lavender Farmers Association.
The Peninsula Daily News reports the new group plans to hold the Sequim Lavender Farm Festival at the same time as the old Sequim Lavender Festival, July 15-17.
Sequim Lavender Growers Association President Terry Stolz says at least 18 growers remain with the original organization, and it holds no animosity against the new group.
