Phew! What a week. What does it take to run a farm? We get up early and feed the chickens. We hand make our products, clean our lavender cottage, fill and label bottles, mail orders, dream up and cook delicious recipes, & pet our adorable albeit huge dogs. Work here is never done, but lots of it is a lot of fun. Here's a few snapshots from our instagram account for your viewing pleasure. Do you follow along with us yet?

Bullmastiffs are such big dogs that they often develop hip pain. We treat this sweet farm dog with a warm lavender comfort heart, oh and lots of doggie massages too! #farmdog #workingdog #dogsofinstagram #essentialoils #flowerpower #plantpower #doglove #mastiff #lavender #handmade
