Established in 2021
Owning a farm on top of the Niagara Escarpment has always been a dream in the back of our minds. When it became reality in the summer of 2019, we initially thought we would focus on cash crops such as soy beans and corn for our fields, but decided to go down a different path. The many beneficial qualities of lavender was what eventually convinced us to learn more about this amazing plant and as we researched and then researched more, the decision was made to establish lavender as our main crop on our farm. And so, the adventure began with planting little lavender plugs of nine different French and English cultivars in the summer of 2020. We invite you to follow along on our journey and hope that our lavender products will bring you the same joy as it does us!
“And so it begins! We purchase the farm and begin this adventure during the summer of 2019.”
“The first fall! We wonder if a lavender field would complement the apple grove already on the farm?”
“During our first winter on the farm, we spend time in our cozy farmhouse and watch the world outside turn white.”
“With summer around the corner, we start to prepare for the thousands of lavender plants that will soon arrive!”
“The plants arrive in flats, ready to be planted.”
“Planting! Luckily, we have a lot of help with this step.”
“They grow up so quickly.”
“We cover the lavender to protect the bushes from winter storms.”
“Almost a full year since we first planted, the first buds of the season are beginning to appear!”
“The plants are now in bloom and ready to be harvested.”
“We planted our third field with an additional 1100 plants of English lavender.”
