Feed the Farmer: Hopenhagen Farm in Copenhagen
ABC 50's Feed the Farmer presented by Burrville Power Equipment is back and we feature a different type of farm. In a community known for its dairy farms, the Rumbles have done something extraordinary. Hopenhagen Farm is the only lavender farm in Lewis County. And today, it's known for its afternoon teas, workshops, lavender festival, and astonishing beauty. Check out all the great local farmers with Feed the Farmer Presented by Burrville Power Equipment So my husband and I retired in 2015 and we said, I I I need something to keep me busy. So we started growing hops and at that time, people were growing grapes, so we wanted to be a little bit different. Mary Rumble, Hopenhagen Farm Rumble added,' And then after we did grow hops the following year, I said, you know, I've done some reading. I see that lavender and hops go very nicely together. Let's try growing lavender. There's more than farming than cows and plows. There is forestry.' A big date is coming up soon for the farm is the upcoming Lavender Festival on July 12. 'There's all sorts of things like like we're doing, Rumble said. 'We are doing, lavender plants. Our lavender festival is always the second Saturday in July, and I have right now, I have over a 40 vendor spots and food trucks. I just added on another food truck today, actually. And the vendor set up all around the farm.' The festival has grown into one where there are a number of crafters, vendors, food trucks and more. 'All everything that's mowed will have vendors,' Rumble said. 'So it's a really big day for Copenhagen to see so many people come to our little town. I also have our tea room, which we saw earlier and I do, tea parties for groups of 10 or more. After our tea party, I take the group and we do a walk about the gardens and the lavender.'
