Lavender

Lavender has been a part of the farm since the early years. It provides beauty and calmness to the farm which is bustling with work every day of the year rain or shine.

It began with the planting of 100 plants but massively expanded once we moved onto our current farm with four acres of lavender now.

The two varieties we grow are ‘Pierre Grosso’ and ‘Super’. Both of them bloom from early-June to early-July and have distinct attributes.

“Grosso’ is not only beautiful but contains large amounts of oils. When it is blooming we harvest it for fresh bunches that are available locally and pick all we need for drying each year.

It is also used in our sachets, hydrosols, essential oils, salts and other lavender products we make.

All the ‘Super’ we grow is distilled by a friend of ours due to it having an elegant smell. It produces a high-quality essential oil and hydrosol that is unmatched. (You can buy it here)
