Project
Farm Name
Forever Lav Farm
Farm Project Description
Lavender field with mini orchard, flowers/vegetable patch and beehives. We will offer farm tours and seasonal farm access. We will be focused on natural handmade products from crops we grow and plan to have a farm stand and attend farmers markets. Once established, we plan to offer the farm for venue rentals for events such as weddings. If permitted we would like to be able to have a movable residence and some farm animals to support the farm. This is our vision but we can amend our plan based on local bylaws applicable to the land.
