On one of our trips to the country, we visited a small lavender farm close to Cobourg.
They grow different varieties of lavender. Some are a greyish purple, and others are a deep deep purple. Each variety smell different too.
This adorable cottage sat on the farm property, I love it's shape. It looks like it came out of a fairy tale story.
Some of their lavendar is infused into ice cream and cheese. They were preparing for a festival for the following weekend, so ice cream and cheese was not available for us to try. I would have loved to taste it, especially the ice cream!
Maybe we can go back next year.

ReplyDeleteYou are so lucky, when I went to a lavender farm they had just harvested theirs, so I didn't get to see fields of lavender.
ReplyDeleteI adore the top picture with that brilliant purple hue of the lavender shining brightly. Do you think you'd ever sell prints of your pictures? I'd be your #1 customer!
