We Distill Our Own Lavender Essential Oil

Lavender bloom season is only a few short weeks the first half of June here. Then we spend the rest of the month harvesting those amazingly scented lavender bloom by hand to hang and dry and later sell as bundles or distill to make our pure lavender essential oil and lavender hydrosol. Both filled with health benefits. We then use our oil to make our high quality products. So check out our lavender cottage shop or check out our Dahlias garden and sunflowers or our other flowers for the rest of summer into autumn. Shop is open from March through till mid December or online all the time.

About US

In 2014 we started planting our first crop of just 500 lavender and 9 different varieties. This was a totally new adventure, since NO One had grown lavender in Georgia past year two without crop failure. But we had small parcel of pasture at our home and decided this beautiful herb was worth trying. Today we grow about 4,000 lavender plants of 19 different varieties, some plants 8 years of age. We have learned a lot through in-depth research, lavender conferences, visiting lavender farms in person and speaking with lavender growers from Arizona, South Carolina, North Carolina, Sequim Washington and also abroad to the Provence area of France and Ireland. UGA visits our farm yearly to check with us to see how we are growing lavender in this harsh environment and being successful.
