Conner Orchards is run by Ed and Laurie Conner. 

Ed purchased the orchard in 1999 from his Uncle, who had bought it from another aunt. Originally, it was all about the house, which he and his dad renovated. Selling fruit on his sales trips across the eastern slope, he turned the orchard into his full-time job and headed to farmers markets as well.  

It was at one of these farmers markets where he tossed Laurie an apple. Neither knew that in ancient Greece this was meant as a proposal by the man and an acceptance by the woman if she caught it. Laurie caught the apple and now Ed manages the orchard while Laurie takes care of the lavender.

Laurie, the ever wanderer, has turned her love of canning into a variety of jams and other culinary lavender products.

Our Practices

Our goal is to produce a quality product! To Ed, this means juice running down your chin when you bite into a peach. To Laurie, this means a unique lavender-infused jam (low sugar of course)! For our customers, this means we want each and every product they receive from us to exceed their expectations and leave them wanting more!

Associations

We are members of the Lavender Association of Colorado.
