This year was our first year of harvesting this beautiful silvery lavender. This variety is called 'Melissa' and is a perennial herb that grows to about 2 feet and can be used for culinary or decorative purposes.
Below is a picture of us drying this gorgeous lavender in our cottage. I think it looks just heavenly.
We use this variety of lavender in ourneck rolls&comfort heartsbecause of it's strong and calming natural aroma.
After many life experiences including living in France and traveling the world, we have settled down in beautiful Cache Valley Utah. We live on a 6 acre farm nestled at the mouth of a mountain canyon. We have over 80 apple trees in our orchard, many of which are vintage varieties. We also have over 1000 Lavender plants, across 2 fields. Hence our farm name "The Lavender Apple." We hand craft over 40 natural and organic products. Here on this blog we share recipes, farm photos, and lavender tips. Welcome to all our friends. Enjoy!
