Apifera Farm is owned and operated by Katherine and Martyn Dunn. The couple's
first lavender crop was planted in 2004 and by 2005 they had 3000 plants in ground.
They plan to add up to 1500 more, and also will focus on some draught tolerant perennials. The couple do not spray, nor do they use weed barrier of any kind. They will eventually have an organic certificate. Their lavender will be sold wholesale dried bulk, with some retail dried product also via their online ordering. Fresh cut will be available on a limited basis at this time. From time to time they will have open farm tours. They also raise registered Katahdin sheep for pasture management and breeding. This is also an excellent meat breed and one can check their site for spring lamb availabilities. Mar

Besides looking wonderful as a hanging swag, lavender helps keep moths away. So tuck a one of our sachets in that sweater drawer. Lavender is said to have a calm, soothing influence on one's frenzied head, and besides, it's just so beautiful. If you get tired of your bundles, you can also strip the bud for sachets or crafts. And we cook with our lavender, taking small buds right of the bundle. We are pesticide free.
