Charsaw Farms
1210 Cuttings Wharf Rd, Napa, CA 94559, USACharsaw Farms is a family owned lavender farm launched in 2021 in Napa, California. They make handmade oils, tinctures, soaps and baking goods from the lavender they grow and harvest by hand. In 2006, Doug and Julie Thompson took a chance on a 3.5 acre piece of property in Napa, California with the dream of making it a home and gathering place for friends and family. After years of hard work, renovations, building additions, land development and countless games of bocce ball and pickleball, they succeeded in making this plot of land a truly wonderful place to live. They raised their 4 children, hosted several weddings, and housed friends and family on Napa get-a-ways in wine country. Nine grandchildren later and much debate over what the next chapter of life looked like, Julie and Doug decided to turn their family home into a lavender farm to share the beauty of the property with everyone. Along with two of their daughters, Elizabeth and Mollie, the Thompsons launched Charsaw Farms, named after Liz’s daughter Charley “Char” and Mollie’s daughter Sawyer “Saw”. They celebrate family, healthy living and the natural beauty of Northern California. Elizabeth brings a culinary aspect to the company, as she enjoys experimenting with lavender and baked goods. As most of her desserts surpass mom and her two sisters’ abilities, it was a no brainer to have Liz’s culinary skills utilized. Mollie adds an agriculture background after studying Agricultural Business at Cal Poly in San Luis Obispo. Her knowledge of the wine industry, and tourism in the area, have assisted the family in sales strategies. Staying at the Charsaw Cottage gives their guests a remarkable and spacious place to host an intimate wedding. Looking West you’ll have thousands of lavender plants backed by a setting sun. To the North, South and East, your guests will enjoy the views of the famous Carneros Wine Growing Region. The perfect backdrop for your perfect day. Charsaw Farms offers a desired wedding ceremony location overlooking the vineyards, a large grass space which allows for one long table or multiple round/square tables, a deck which provides a dance floor and ample space for a DJ or band, two gas fire pits and a gazebo typically used as a bar. Their experience with weddings in the past has been nothing short of amazing.
