November News/Contacting us
I wanted to share our most recent listing. With bringing in November it’s a perfect time to think of warm fires. We’ve recently added lavender fire starters to our store. I used the stems of debudded lavender in bundles to create these highly aromatic fire starters. They can be used in wood burning stoves, wood […]

How our Farm got it’s Name
I recently had someone ask me why did we named our farm Lavender “Rose” farms. They didn’t understand the rose part, I imagine, as the lavender is pretty straightforward. The name was inspired by this picture in 2013 for a lavender-infused honey recipe. One of the flavors I was most interested in was lavender and […]

Wascly Wabbits and New Shop Offerings
It’s been a learning experience doing major planting this year. We have had so much rain which is NOT good for lavender as they don’t like wet feet. Another grower in the Ohio area was complaining of plants dying because of too much rain. I guess that’s farming and agriculture. You are at the mercy […]
