OUR VISION
To be creators of luscious products and
unforgettable positive experiences.
On our spray-free lavender farm, we grow a variety of lavender species.
- French lavender (Lavandula x intermedia ‘Grosso’) – Grosso has an extraordinary powerful fragrance and aromatic buds. In 2022 we are proud to have won ‘The Best Lavender Oil in New Zealand’ for our Grosso oil, from the NZ Lavender Growers Assn.
- English lavender (L. angustifolia ‘Pacific Blue’) – Pacific Blue is known for its sweeter fragrance, making it perfect for cooking, baking or a relaxing cup of tea.
- English lavender (L. angustifolia ‘Violet Intrigue’) – Violet Intrigue is a very special lavender oil, noted for its vibrant violet flower and heady soothing scent. We are proud to have won “The Best Lavender Oil in New Zealand” from the NZ Lavender Growers Assn, for this gorgeous lavender oil.
- The other varieties we grow are Rosea, Blue Mountain White, Myra, Elizabeth and Hidcote.
