Come join us for a three-day celebration of the lavender harvest. We will have multiple farm items, crafters, and artisans on-site in an open-air market.
Every year our event continues to improve and grow. The selection of vendors has broadened and our guests provide even more fun opportunities. This year you will be treated to almost 50 vendors providing a wide variety of hand-crafted goods, one-of-a-kind artwork, artist demonstrations, guest appearances, and don’t forget the star of the show-our lavender field. Stroll the field, stay for lunch, stop by for dinner, harvest u-cut lavender, check out our store before you leave and use your ticket from registering here to get a BOGO on U-Cut lavender! Check back often as the schedule builds out and register for tickets to be notified of changes or additions. Must present your ticket for the BOGO, so make sure to print it out or save it to your phone, please.
Newaukum River Ranch welcomes Moon Shadow Sisters to join in circle this July 9-11th with the new moon.
Moon Shadow Sisters co-facilitators, Zazil & April, will lead you in circle each day offering tools and reflections for healing and perspective that include guided meditation, connective movements and journaling.
The Ranch will provide the perfect retreat as you leave the world for a while and enjoy the riverfront between group interactions. You’ll find hammocks in the trees, quilts and books in the barn, a hot shower, and primitive camping where the river trickles through your dreams. Not to mention that we’ll have breakfast catered for you!
This is a safe space for women to get real, share our journeys, and cultivate self-love and authentic relationships as we reconnect with our feminine essence.
If you are a grieving teen, this is a hike for you. It’s teens only so you will be others who get it about grief, have a chance to see how Wild Grief facilitates connecting with nature, your grief and each other. No previous hiking experience needed. We will hike through mountain meadows full of wildflowers, and have breathtaking views of Mount Rainier and Edmonds Glacier. We expect the hike to last at least 5 hours with time to honor our grief and soak up the beauty.
