In our gift shop we sell fresh cut lavender in late June thru July when in season, dried lavender bunches and lavender bath and decorative products and distill our own fine quality lavender hydrosol (floral water) and essential oil. We also keep bees and sell our wonderful lavender honey.
We sell plants produced from cuttings of our own field-grown lavender varieties including: Folgate, Royal Velvet, Royal Purple, Martha's White, Imperial Gem, Grosso, Gros Bleu, and Super, and occasionally some others.
