Lavender and Community

This week marked a couple of milestones for the year. First we bottled some lavender water we distilled last year, to stock up for the season. There are lots of uses for lavender water, including: adding it to a bath, soothing sunburns and insect bites, hydrating spritzer, spraying it on pillows or clothing before ironing. Of course we also have a limited quantity of our certified organic ½ oz. bottle of lavender oil as well.

This week also marked the first farm tour that we hosted this year. Thirteen folks from Equinox Center of Herbal Studies in Ft. Collins spent a few hours with us walking the land, identifying the many herbs that grow here. A fun time was had by all, and we also enjoyed Aria’s Nettle and Spearmint Tea freshly harvested from the farm. Our lavender products were a hit, and it was great to feel the enthusiasm for what we’re doing. Thanks for coming, everyone!
