ABOUT OUR FARM
Our little lavender farm originated in 2013 as a small backyard farm in Riverview, Michigan. In 2014, we relocated to Marquette, Michigan for my husband's job. I thought that might be an end to our lavender farm dreams. However, we planted lavender in the UP and we began making lavender-based products.
We relocated back to Southeastern Michigan in 2016. We are now located just outside Monroe, Mi in Frenchtown Township on about 2 and 1/4 acres. The back of our property is along the River Raisin. The river was named by the French for the wild grapes that grew along the banks. We still have wild grapes growing on our property and along the banks of the river. Our property is scenic and park-like and was originally part of the centennial Knapp farm, and our barn was an existing structure of the Knapp farm.
We now have just over 300 lavender plants in multiple different varieties. We also grow wildflowers, herbs, roses, peonies, sunflowers, herbs, yarrow, lilacs and have a fresh cut flower garden we are working on. In 2018, our wildflower fields were registered nationally as a Monarch Waystation. We have many black walnut trees on our property. We take them to a hulling and buying location in the fall. There they are hulled and the nuts used at Black Walnut product company.
One of our most popular specialties is in dried flower floral designs including boutonnieres, bouquets, table arrangements, and wreaths. Yes, we do weddings! We love being a part of our client's special day. See our floral design page for portfolio of our designs. Below are some photos of our lavender fields and property!
