As a small, all natural, and pesticide free family farm, we have big hearts and dreams to share with you! Our journey started spring of 2018. We planted over 2000 lovely Lavender plants of English and French varieties in our newly cleared fields, and quickly added 5 beautiful bee hives to share our space. We are learning as we grow and want to offer the most brilliant experiences of lavender that we can, from natural products, bouquets and some weekend visits starting summer of 2019.   It all started with a vision, and honestly if you had told me two years ago that I was going to plant 2200 lavender plants by hand, buy 5 bee hives (which I am allergic to), plant a small field of wildflowers and sunflowers, fill the pond with fish, build a chicken coop and add some rescue bunnies… I wouldn’t have ever believed you! But guess what! I am doing it and loving every minute!  My land continually gives in so many ways. That is why it is called “The Giving Place” The earth gives us everything in its most natural form, so I want to share it with you. The Giving Place is a place to escape the hustle and bustle of our busy days, to take a moment and breathe. To enjoy our fields and smell the lavender!  Our journey is full of excitement here at the Giving Place and we still have so much to do! How you can give back? Join our community garden today!   Our Lavender Our Lovely Lavender and Sunny Sunflowers grow lovingly and naturally pesticide free, in our whimsical fields along with our wildflowers and our beautiful honey bees! Our Lavender, from Lavandula Angustifolia, comes in several varieties of English, Super Blue and Phenomenal. Our Sunflowers come from the Russian Mammoth Variety, naturally beautiful, bright and full of sunflower seeds for you or the birds to enjoy!
