Organic Lavender
Grown on the farm
Organic lavender farm
Since the first Spanish settlers brought lavender to the region centuries ago, it has thrived in the arid Rio Grande Valley, beloved for its soothing medicinal and aromatic properties. For over 25 years, lavender has been at the heart of the Los Poblanos landscape, planted as a low-water-use crop that honors our agricultural heritage while supporting soil health and conservation. Our farmers cultivate the Grosso hybrid, hand-propagated in our historic greenhouse and planted across our certified organic lavender fields.
The annual harvest
Each summer, we harvest the lavender by hand when the flowers are half to three-quarters open, typically in mid-July, capturing the peak essential oil content. The oil and hydrosol are then extracted on the farm through a traditional steam distillation process, ensuring absolute purity. The resulting oil and hydrosol are crafted into our artisan lavender products and inn amenities.

Regenerative farming
Regenerative farming brings our fields to life, balancing sustainability, biodiversity and our agricultural heritage. Our farmers cultivate heirloom, native and seasonal crops for the award-winning Rio Grande Valley Cuisine at Campo, while wildflowers, pollinators and wildlife thrive across the 25 acres of fields and gardens. These same principles guide our Farm Foods collection, offering guests and shoppers a direct connection to the land.
Rooted in history
Los Poblanos began as an experimental farm in the 1930s, operating as a dairy and experimental farm, testing sugar beet seed, oats, corn and barley, and developing new varieties of chrysanthemums and roses in the greenhouse. Today, the Rembe family continues this legacy, preserving the historic buildings and gardens while practicing sustainable farming. Growing vegetables, fruits, herbs and other botanicals not only supports our award-winning restaurant, product collection and botanical gin, it also provides economic opportunities for the local community.
