First Steps

This is our first year open as a business. In fact, we have only been officially up and running since June! As a new business, we have been learning the ins and outs of running our lavender farm and creating desirable products. We are pretty proud of the products we have developed; it has been a long process of perfecting and tweaking each individual product, and we are very happy with the results!

Here are a few pictures of our farm, so that you can see where we grow and develop our lavender. We have 600 plants right now, but in the fall we are beginning an expansion program to increase that number (and possibly offer baby lavender cuttings for others to buy as well!).

Some of our Hidcote variety, in bloom in eary summer

These are some of our Provence plants (aka culinary lavender) in early spring... the plants are just beginning to show a bit of green. If you look carefully, you can see one of our dogs' tail in the rows of lavender :)

Some of our early bloomers hang in our drying shed.

The finished product! After drying, we undo the lavender bundles and put them into bouquets by hand - we pick only the best-looking lavender stems to create our bouquets. This picture shows a finished Alba bouquet, roughly 115 stems. Currently on sale for $7.50!

This isn't exactly a picture from our farm, but it's one of our most popular products: mini lavender cupcakes with a lemon glaze. Visit our shop link on the upper right of this page to view them!
