Ristau Family Farm | Lavender Farm in Emmett, Idaho

our farm

Hi, we're Jenny & Shaniko

After becoming empty nesters, closing our business, and watching our own field catch fire, we were searching for hope. A visit to a local lavender farm changed everything.

Now we're building Ristau Family Farm from the ground up here in Emmett, Idaho. We grow the lavender and handmake everything ourselves, in small batches, with help from two spirited Jack Russells.

We hope our journey reminds you that even life's hardest seasons can grow into something beautiful. Just keep moving.
