About Our Lavender
Lavender is a perennial and evergreen plant. The lavender on our farm is a French variety named Phenomenal™ (Lavandula x intermedia). Phenomenal™ was discovered in 2007 at Peace Tree Farm in Kintnersville, Pennsylvania. The plant’s flowers, leaves and essential oil are all used as natural medicines. Lavender can be taken orally as a supplement, often to treat anxiety, depression, insomnia, as well as physical pain, including headache and toothache. It is also used topically in lotions and creams for skin and hair treatments, as well as to treat wounds and pain. It’s often used as an aromatherapy tool for sleep problems, to improve mood and relieve stress. Lavender is brewed into teas and infusions, and used as an ingredient in recipes as well.
The Beginning
It began with a desire to find a sustainable way to use our family farm. We wanted a way to nourish our love for the outdoors as well as give others a relaxing, peaceful and fun place to visit and learn.
The Present
Following our first harvest in the Summer of 2020 we began developing a line of lavender products. Each product is made by us, by hand, right here on our farm. We currently have approx. 2800 lavender plants that we harvest, dry and process to make our products.
The Future
Moving forward, we plan to build a barn which will include a retail store, drying room and workshop. We plan to offer pick your own lavender and blueberries, host classes and workshops and offer hundreds of varities of daylilies for sale. We will also plan to host special events such as weddings, private parties, and on site yoga classes.
