<p>&nbsp;Dear Friends:<br /><br /><br /><strong>Starting Memorial Day The Lavender Hill Farm Shop will start summer hours&nbsp;which are</strong>: &nbsp;<br /> <strong>Monday through Saturday 10 am to 4 pm until Labor Day.</strong>&nbsp;<br /> &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<br />Our shop contains a wide&nbsp;variety of farm-made aromatic products containing lavender&nbsp;and other&nbsp;essential oils.&nbsp;&nbsp;Plus we still have some of our 2012 Lavender Honey in stock, get it while supplies last, since this years crop won't be extracted from our hives&nbsp;until August.&nbsp; &nbsp;The flavor (from our bees foraging on the lavender flowers) &nbsp;is really something special!<br /><br /> Our lavender field is starting to send out buds, and our first varieties will&nbsp;start showing a little color in a couple of weeks!&nbsp;&nbsp;Start planning&nbsp;your trip out here for U-pick lavender which officially begins on Saturday&nbsp;June 22nd and runs through Saturday July 13th.&nbsp; We provide scissors, and twist ties to measure&nbsp;a bunch, and you cut your own lavender bunch for $5 each.&nbsp; It's a wonderful sensory experience that only happens once a year, so it's not to be missed! Bring your friends and family and make a day of it.&nbsp; We have chairs in the shade where you can sit and relax and enjoy the sights, smells and sounds.&nbsp; Hope to see you here!<br /><br />Martha Wilczynski<br />Lavender Hill Farm of Niles, MI&nbsp; LLC<br /><br />&nbsp;&nbsp;<br /><img title="Lavender Season Invitation" src="http://www.thelavenderhill.com/images/gallery/w500/1369319622_67d6888cdd70.jpg" alt="Lavender Season/U-Pick Invitation" width="250" height="194" /></p>

<p>Those of you already familiar with our Lavender Bath &amp; Massage oil, know that its blend of emollient oils: Sesame, Rice Bran, Sweet Almond, Jojoba, and Apricot Kernel oils absorb easily, leaving the skin with a&nbsp;soft, velvety&nbsp;feeling.&nbsp;It's great as a moisturizer or for use&nbsp;as a massage oil or to put in the bath.&nbsp;</p>
<p>Our&nbsp;special blend of lavender essential oils in this product promote calm &amp; relaxation. Now with the addition&nbsp;of Vetiver essential we take this product to a new level.&nbsp;Vetiver oil, with its soft, sweet woodsy aroma, &nbsp;is also said to be useful for calming and relaxation&nbsp;and in addressing anxiety, anger and burnout.&nbsp;In addition, though lavender's scent is useful as a top or middle note in a fragrance blend (the scent doesn't tend to linger for very long), Vetiver is a bottom note, anchoring a fragrance and giving it more staying power.&nbsp; We think you will love this blend!</p>]]></description><link><![CDATA[http://www.thelavenderhill.com/blog/18573]]></link><pubDate>Mon, 01 Apr 2013 11:38:20 -0500</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Lavender Hill Farm-Spring Hours in Effect!]]></title><description><![CDATA[<p style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: comic sans ms,sans-serif;"><span style="font-family: comic sans ms,sans-serif;"><span style="font-family: comic sans ms,sans-serif;"><img style="float: left;" src="http://www.thelavenderhill.com/images/gallery/w500/123689391098.226.55.84.jpg" alt="" width="45" height="80" /></span></span><span class="fontSize3">Lavender Hill Farm of Niles, Michigan&nbsp; LLC</span></span></p>
