Hey there, lovelys! Welcome to Our Lavender Co.'s very first blog post, where we're sharing some of our favorite things about growing lavender and benefits of this beautiful flower!  So, come on in, sit back, and let's bask in the lavender goodness together!

It's like a sweet hug from nature, melting away your worries. Most people who walk into our shop say the same thing -- "Wow! It smells so good in here." And that's because it does! ᵕ̈ 

2. PERENNIAL CUTIES: Our lavender plants are like close friends who keep coming back every summer for a visit. Being perennials, they return year after year, reminding us of the beauty of consistency in the midst of the day-to-day wildness of raising three adventurous kiddos and running two farms!

3. LOCAL LOVE: While most lavender consumed in the US travels from across the ocean, we're passionate about celebrating what's close to home. Producing organic US grown lavender is our way of giving you a slice of our farm's love.
