Lavender is an exceptional culinary herb as well. When a recipe calls for rosemary, try lavender instead! We share some lavender recipes and make treats like lavender shortbread cookies and lavender lemonade for farm events.
In the garden, lavender repels moles, flies, mosquitos and deer do not care for it. Planted nearby roses, annuals, vegetables or other "deer candy" will deter them. Lavender plants are offered at the Farmers' Markets and during spring and fall events.
We offer the following line of value added products all year long.
Bath Salts, Bed & Bath Powder, Bouquets, Candle Tins, Culinary Lavender, Eye Pillows, Grill & Fireplace Bundles, Hand & Body Cream with Shea Butter, Laundry Booster, Lip Balm, Sachets, Soap and one-of-a-kinds too.
