Hampton Road’s Premier Lavender Farm
Sweethaven was a seed planted in the soil of our family’s heart years before God enabled us to purchase the farm. The idea of sharing our farm with the community was born from a desire to unite as a family around common goals of stretching our skill sets, stewarding the resources entrusted to our care, and creating an atmosphere for sharing the wonder of God’s creation with others. Watching this dream blossom into reality through the support of long-time friends, extended family and neighbors-turned close friends brings us joy beyond measure.
We’re often asked, “Why lavender?” Well, we chose lavender for many reasons:
It’s gorgeous in its simplicity and the scent of it on the breeze is exhilarating
Lavender essential oil is known as the “Swiss Army Knife” of oils for its healing, calming, and antibacterial properties
Lavender’s bloom time coincides with the end of our school year. We educate our children at home, so lavender is a perfect fit for our family calendar
It’s perennial, so in theory we should be able to do the hard work at the onset and then move to a sustainable maintenance mode (so far that theory is proving to be just that...the work is never-ending. Ha! But we love it anyway.)
