Come on Spring!





OK, I understand Garrett County gets lots of snow - over 166 inches per year with the current high of 262 inches achieved just a few years ago, but enough already.  This lavender farm owner needs a little green in her life.  The warm temps last week were such a tease but it did kick me into high gear to think of the new products to make and to resupply our wonderful standard products of lavender lotions, lavender lotion bars, closet sachets, lavender and flaxseed filled heating pads and wraps, and so much more.

We are excited for future plans for the farm - chickens, honey bees (ours died last fall so we are trying again), and gardens galore.  We've gotten our on-farm licensing plan for selling lavender food jams, jellies, salts, cookies and other wonderful things into the state of Maryland and had our first review (with the hoops farmers have to jump through I understand why so many don't go this route, but our customers health and safety is a priority).

Future plans include a distiller for lavender essential oil. Until we are able to purchase one we will be sharing the oils other member farms of the US Lavender Growers Association (USLGA) have distilled.  So many, many uses for lavender and lavender essential oil.... but that is for another day...another blog post....
