It's Farm Friday! That means its time to share some photos from around the farm with you. In my opinion, farms are made for kids. They are just wonderful fun places to roam and play. These cute grandkids are such great helpers around the farm, and pretty cute too. Hope you have a wonderful and fun weekend! Come see us at the Salt Lake Farmers Market!

Harvest Season is well under way and we are so busy on the Lavender Farm that we haven't been able to be very creative in the kitchen recently. I found some AMAZING food bloggers that had some inspiring and delicious lavender recipes on their sites. I thought I would share some inspiration with you. Go check them out! 

Look at these amazing caramelized peach and lavender scones that How Sweet It Is created! 

And what about lemon-lavender blackberry & ricotta grilled cheese sandwhiches that Keepin It Kind came up with? They sound so sweet and savory, and not to mention delicious!

Here's another savory idea for you. How about these goat cheese cigars with lavender, honey, and thyme from Mediterranealicious? 

And I must make these lavender coconut macarons from Broma Bakery!

Well I don't know about you, but I'm pretty sure I'm craving some of these delicious purple buds right now. Happy cooking! 

Hello Friends!

Lavender Harvest Season is upon us. When I have piles and piles of lavender being cut, hung, and dried around the farm, my mind begin to fill with wonderful ideas of what I can create with it. Here are some of my favorite uses for fresh Lavender. 

1. Place lavender in a basket or vase. Not only does this create a beautiful and long lasting arrangement, but a wonderful soothing aroma will fill your home. 

2. Make lavender lemonade! These beautiful purple buds make lemonade instantly chic and beautiful for any summer gathering. Mix a little lemon, honey, and lavender and you have a wonderful healthful drink. 

3. Braid lavender through your hair. This is the perfect subtle boho effect for anyone interested in a floral crown for weddings or a family photo shoot. 

4. Sprinkle just a small handful of lavender buds over your hard floors or carpets before cleaning. As you sweep or vacuum, the gorgeous scent will be released into the air. It will also help to keep your vacuum cleaner smelling sweet, and your bin too when you throw out the lavender with the dust.

5. Throw a bundle under the front seat of your car. As the lavender gets warmed in the hot car, it will release an amazing clean and fresh scent that will make your entire vehicle smell amazing. 

6. Sew some into your childs favorite stuffed animal. The familiar and soothing scent when added to their favorite lovey will help them associate that smell with falling asleep and easily send them off to dreamland. 

7. Wrap your packages with lavender! Nothing makes a gift look more elegant or french than using some butcher paper, a simple piece of twine, and then tucking some lavender underneath the string. Its so simple and beautiful. 

8. Hang some from your windows! Don't have window baskets? Simply tie a bunch of lavender together and hang it from your windows and your house will instantly look more french country. 

9. Simmer some lavender on the stove! This will become the best chemical free natural air freshener your house has ever smelt. 

10. Add some to your bath! Sprinkle some lavender buds throughout your bubble bath and you will instantly get a relaxing scent that will fill your bathroom. The smell will sooth you and the lavender even can help relax sore muscles as well!
