> Purple Fence Farm began in Spring 2020 just north of metro Denver, Colorado, founded by Julie Godard (formulator) and Ty Ingmire (business/marketing), combining over 20 years of natural body care experience with sustainable lavender cultivation. The farm hand-harvests lavender for small-batch formulations and culinary products, emphasizing natural methods and local sourcing including Colorado honey, beeswax, and oils from regional suppliers that avoid synthetic chemicals and harmful extraction processes. Their product line includes soothing bath salts, invigorating body scrubs, soaps, facial serums, balms, and salves—all crafted with intentionality and minimal packaging. Godard and Ingmire's philosophy centers on ingredient integrity: 'What you put in and on your body truly matters.' They emphasize their hands-on approach: 'Every ingredient we use is lovingly harvested,' reflecting careful attention throughout production. The farm operates around three core tenets: small batch production (avoiding mass manufacturing), intention (embedding Colorado's spirit into each product's story), and sustainability (environmental consciousness over profit margins). As they state: 'Our commitment to all-natural ingredients and ethical practices is not just a business choice; it's a reflection of our values.' Purple Fence Farm appears at Colorado farmers markets including South Pearl Street and Larimer locations.
