Our farm was created from a dear love of nature and an absolute appreciation of Lavender.

My name is Lila and I live in Paso Robles, Ca. along side the Salinas River. With my husband, Kevin and daughter Abigail, our farming  has been a true work of love and devotion as we progress with our field of 20,000 plus Lavender growing in our primary fields.

What We Grow

We grow several varieties of Lavender,  in both the intermedias and the angustifolias for their fine oil producing properties and exceptional culinary features. We distill our essential oils here at the fields. Our Lavadin and Lavender essential oil’s are of the highest quality. Our Culinary division has expanded to include several new varieties including  the ‘Provence’ lavender along with sweet ‘Melissa’ and ‘Betty’s Blue’ just to name a few. Our working demonstration gardens  with herbs and spices are an amazing annual show. With noble edible flowers and heirloom vegetable’s a carry the true traditions of a family farm specializing in Lavender and the uses of this extraordinary herb.

Distillation

We distill our own oil here on site in our 50 gallon copper still. Central Coast Lavender uses an old artisan technique of hydro steam distillation in a simple low pressure, small lot process. It is with this age old method that we are able to get the highest quality oil possible. From this we arrive at a 100% pure Lavender Essential Oil. For more information on this fascinating process visit Discover Distillation.

Unlike most commercial processes, we only use the flowers or ‘bud’ from the Lavender and not the stems and pieces. By distilling only the precious ‘bud’ we are able to use the rest of the  plant in many beneficial ways. The by product called ‘Hydrosols’ is an amazing natural cleaning product with a variety of uses. Even the ‘spent’ bud’s from the distillation process are again re-used by many as a mulch in beds of plants and horses. The natural properties yield themselves to keeping fungus to fleas, flies and pest away.

One of my favorite uses of this amazing essential oil is the products that we create. With this healing oil, I hand make all of our soaps  here at the farm using Natural Goats Milk, Shea Butter, and Aloe Vera Oil.  I also make a unique lotion for the hands and body. These lotions moisturize and heal with the infusion of Lavender Essential Oil and other aromatic botanical oils.  Our products extend into candles, sachets, Lavender pillows and eye masks. I can also customize that perfect Gift set or basket for those special moments and that certain someone.

Here at the fields we pride ourselves in hand made, hand wrapped, natural items that are dear to the heart as well as the spirit. We only use these pure Essential Oils and Natural ingredients in all of our items. With this,  each Soap, Lotion and Body/Bath Oil is made upon order so that we can provide fresh and simple products.

We sure love our Lavender Farm and the wonderful benefits it has brought to our life. I hope to share it’s healing gifts with each of you by delivering its unique properties in all of our hand crafted products.

Warm wishes,
