We spent 13 years building an abundant fruit forest, annual veggie beds, perennial medicinal herbs, and a healthy mixed hardwood-coniferous forest and now we've sold our property to the next stewards so that we can begin a new homesteading project in Vermont closer to our best friends and their kids.

Don't worry - we plan to keep this website up and running so that our customers can reference what we've written about our plants!

We'll let you know once we re-start a farm in Vermont!

'Grosso' is a hybrid Lavindin-type variety that has a dark purple bloom, grey-green leaves, and excellent fragrance fresh or dried. This variety is often used for commercial production because of its very high content of fragrant essential oil.

Lavender grows to 2 feet wide and 3 feet tall and prefers full sun and well drained soil. Flowers and leaves are aromatic and can be dried and used in cooking, calming herb teas, and sleep pillows. Prune off flower stalks after bloom if you did not harvest them.
