Clairmont Farms is a family owned lavender farm located at 2480 Roblar Avenue, Los Olivos, California in the Santa Ynez Valley, Santa Barbara County. We have five acres of Grosso variety lavender, which is the most potent variety and yields the most oil upon distillation. The fields are breathtakingly beautiful with the backdrop of the Santa Ynez Mountains. Three hundred year old oak trees dot the grounds, and the driveway is lined with olive trees that were planted by the Spanish Missionaries over 180 years ago. Videographers, photographers and painters come each year and apply their craft, especially during the peak bloom. Our main field blooms from mid June to mid to late July. The exact time of the peak bloom varies from year to year with the weather. Just as one would suspect, warm weather in the spring will encourage an earlier bloom. Very hot weather during the bloom will cause it to accelerate, and cool and foggy weather will help extend it.
