Our Lavender Farm
We decided to turn our hands to farming lavender after noticing a French lavender plant in our garden that flourished, producing beautiful flowers despite little watering or maintenance. Thanks to our love of gardening, we patiently propagated the original lavender plant and tested other lavender varieties.
After some trial and error, one variety flourished. Planted now, in neat rows, our verdant lavender bushes decorate an entire hillside adding to the scenic views from the cottage, blooming each year from June to September.
We sell fresh-cut flowers to local florists and use the lavender leaves and flower buds in our own handmade, chemical-free lavender products.
