Nestled amidst the serene landscapes of Prince Edward Island, Canada, the Island Lavender Distillery epitomizes the fruition of Trish Tymstra’s heartfelt vision. In the scenic slopes of St. Catherines/Bonshaw, this family-run lavender farm and gift shop presents a gorgeous haven where lavender farming becomes an enthralling experience. The Lavender Farm has come a long way from its beginnings in 2014 when only a few hundred plants were spread over two acres. The fields paint colourful scenes with the help of crops, including French Phenomenal, Hidcote, and Munstead. The farm hosts a wonderful U-choose Harvest in July, when guests may choose bundles of lavender at the height of bloom.
The gift store on the farm is like a hidden treasure chest, full of unique items made with care from organic ingredients. The farm’s distillation of lavender essential oil is used in everything from bath and massage products to fragrant decorations. Popular items include essential oil bath bombs, soap bars, hand-poured soy wax candles, and lavender goat milk body lotion.
The Lavender Lady’s wares are easily accessible online, with countrywide shipping and local delivery choices for those outside of PEI. During the month of July, visitors to Charlottetown may enjoy the Lavender Farm in person, while those who can’t wait that long can discover the farm’s wonders at Founders’ Hall & Market.
The essence of their work is a painstaking procedure that begins with picking lavender and ends with steam distillation in a copper still. Their labour of love, which spans many weeks and captures the restorative qualities of lavender, is a labour of love. The purity of their 100% lavender essential oil and flower water remains a beloved trademark of their goods. The Island Lavender Distillery is more than just a farm; it’s a tribute to hard employment, artistic ability, and the fulfillment of a dream. It’s a calm haven where the splendour of nature meets the skill of artisans to create moments of peace for everyone who finds their way into its fragrant embrace. Visit their site by clicking here.
