Lavender

Inspired by seeing lavender fields in France, Michigan, and Oregon, we began growing lavender in 2016. It's not our cold winters, rather humid summers that make growing lavender a real challenge in the Mid-West. We brought in several tons of soil amendments and created raised beds to try and make our farm hospitable to lavender production. We also selected Lavandula x intermedia Phenomenal, a variety which is somewhat adapted to our climate. In the summer of 2017, we began selling fresh and dried lavender bunches and are excited to see where this endeavor will take us.
