All,

Thanks to all of you who came out to the farm during lavender season this year and made it such a success.   We would like to announce that we are finished with lavender distillation and we now have our 2010 lavender essential oil on sale in 6 ml bottles, and soon we will have it in 3 ml bulb dropper bottles- convenient for use in drinks and cooking.  A drop or two goes a long way!

For the late summer/early fall I will have the Lavender Hill Shop open Friday afternoons from 2-6 and Saturday mornings from 9-12.  We will be closed however on Friday September 3rd, and the week of September 5th to 12th.

I have posted farm shop hours for the next two months on our calendar (look under the Farm Shop & Markets tab at www.thelavenderhill.com). I have also started to enter holiday shows and open houses later in the fall. Please check the website for up-to-date infomation weekly.

Remember, we are open by appointment at other times, so please feel free to call.  269-684-4305 or 269-684-0123 to make an appointment. 

Thank you all for your support!

All,

Lavender season is fast approaching! My earliest lavender varieties are showing a little blue, brimming with anticipation of their coming glory. 

The farm will be open 6 days a week, Monday thru Saturday, 9 am to 2 pm starting June 21 through July 10th (perhaps longer depending on weather and how well the lavender holds out.) 

Bring your friends and come out to wander through the field and pick your own lavender.  Come into the shop to see what's new, find your favorite products and try some refreshing lavender treats.  This is a once a year experience not to be missed. There is NOTHING like the smell of fresh lavender. 

Also find our booth at the Niles French Market the first and third Thursday of every month, and at Skips European Market on Red Arrow Highway north of New Buffalo the 3rd Saturday of June, July, August and Saturday of Labor Day weekend. 

Also, this Saturday join us in Three Oaks for the Flag Day Celebration.  You'll find local wineries in the wine tent there too.

Anyone willing to volunteer to help out with the U-pick lavender days, please let me know.  I appreciated all the help last year.

Hope to see you all soon!  Please tell your friends.

Dear Friends,

Happy May Day!

My appologies, for various reasons (I'm not going to make excuses) I did not send out an email in advance about my Open House today. Yes, I have the shop open today from 10-3pm. That's correct,  till 3 pm not 2 pm as was shown on the website.  I'm serving lavender-lemon tea cake and May wine, so come and enjoy.

Also, I wanted to mention that I will not be able to have the shop open next Thursday, May 6th, as was originally shown on my website calendar.  My next scheduled open date for The Lavender Hill shop will be Friday May 14th from 2-6 pm. 

This season I will be at the Niles French Market every 1st and 3rd Thursday from 9-2, starting May 20th and going till the first of October.  Please join our ecclectic group of vendors for another fun season.

Please know that you can call always call or email me to make an appointment to come out to the shop at a time that's convenient for you. 

Thanks for your patronage.
Martha
