What Happened to Pelindaba Lavender?

Looking for Pelindaba Lavender? The San Juan Island farm closed in January 2024, but many of its best-loved products live on here. True Lavender Collective in Ashland, Oregon, was a Pelindaba franchise from 2018 until the closure, and we've continued the same or similar formulas. Read the full story below.

The farm closed in January 2024

Pelindaba Lavender on San Juan Island, WA, stopped operating in January 2024 without any public announcement. The property was foreclosed on and sold in early 2025. Most of the land was donated to an island nonprofit community art space.

The formulas we've continued

We rebuilt with lavender essential oil, hydrosol and buds primarily from Oregon-based small family farms. Above you'll find Pelindaba Lavender products made with the same or similar formulas, including favorites like our Lavender Hand & Body Lotion, Healing Salve, Moisturizing Soap, Linen Water, Insect Repellant, lavender pillows, gourmet salt and pepper blends, and lavender chocolate bars.

Artisans you may recognize

We still work with artisans who created pieces for Pelindaba: Andrea Kiernan's glass lavender bead jewelry, Lauren Jawer's lavender ceramics, and Alison Johnston's watercolor prints and note cards of the Pelindaba fields.
