Inspirational Speaker
Sherri Wood, Founder, Capay Valley Lavender & President, United States Lavender Growers Association.
From early childhood, Sherri dreamed of living in the country. After 30 years of San Francisco city life, she followed her dream to a small farm property in Northern California's Capay Valley. Now a dedicated FarmHer, Sherri shares her passion for organic growing methods, for luscious products that soothe and support health, and for building community in the Capay Valley and beyond.
FarmHer Sherri founded Capay Valley Lavender in 2017 with the vision of a small farm and the purchase of just 28 acres of dormant farm land. After a study of the Valley’s microclimate, she chose lavender as her primary crop. She also committed to developing and maintaining organic farming practices and to inviting neighbors to work with her in her endeavor. Each year, Sherri hires a “Team of Teens”, providing after-school employment and valuable learning for students from the surrounding communities. Sherri and her husband, Engineer Richard, personally greet all visitors and take extra care to make Capay Valley Lavender a place where families and friends can gather to learn about lavender and small farming or simply enjoy picnicking and lawn games in the fresh country air.
