Originally called Claybank Farm Lavender, we have been growing lavender on this farm since 1999. The original shop was closed in 2006, but we are open once again with a complete line of new lavender products, including Provençale table cloths.  

From a different part of the olfactory spectrum, we are again growing the very popular Russian Red Garlic. Last year, it was sold out before it even came out of the ground..so place your order early this year. Seasonal fruits and vegetables will be available as usual, including our Balaton European sour cherries, dark and delicious for pies and coulis. 

Our shop hours are 11 AM to 5 PM, daily except Tuesday. Call us to arrange alternative shop hours if these times don’t work for you.

Lavender starts to release fragrant essential oils when the new growth commences in the spring, and is especially aromatic on a warm sunny day. Feel free to come and stroll through the lavender field anytime, smell the flowers, or just relax.

Please park in the new parking lot along Boothe Road and come see us in the shop in the yellow and blue lavender barn. Note that the lavender field behind the green cedar hedge is private property and belongs to someone else. Please respect their privacy!

We can be reached by phone at (250) 496-4304, cell (250) 462-8804, or send us a message using this email link. We want to hear from you!

P.S. The "Green Man" is usually represented as a stylized face made up of leaves and branches. He is an ancient symbol representing nature, growth and fertility and seems to appear in almost every culture around the globe. According to Bill and Donna Price, owners of the antique shop 3 doors down, some of the first green man images in Europe date from Chartres Cathedral circa 1100 AD. . . . . but the Green Man also has close cousins from the Middle East around 200 AD. He dies in the winter and is reborn in the spring and we are convinced that he lives out there, somewhere between our trees....
