Now Serving, Lavender Infused Honey!

Oh boy, do we at Santa Rita Hills Lavender Farm have a treat for you! Thanks to partnering with Bee Wild Collective, a Santa Barbara County bee company who helps find hives for displaced swarms, we now have access to tons of Chapperelle flower honey! They asked us to try infusing lavender into their honey by putting the dried buds into a bucket of honey, but we wondered, is their a better way?

That's when we went to the lab and after doing a little research and looking around at the tools we had we, discovered an amazing new technique to infuse your honey quickly and completely! What an amazing discovery!

This honey has an amazing color and the taste, to die for! Come by the farmstand and pick yourself up a little luxury in a bottle, or pick up the honey off our website. This honey you ain't gonna find anywhere else, so be sure to try it out!

Here he is watching over our 10 gal stainless steel still, which on average produces 350ml of essential oil per run. It’s a little bit of work to set up and get running, but with some practice and a little bit hands on instruction anyone can do it! To show how easy it is, we are hosting a Distillation class using our 1 gallon copper still, where we teach you how to go from the lavender on the plant to essential oil in the separator , with all the other steps in between! Get your tickets here, or if August 27th doesn’t work for you, contact us to set up a private distillation class for you, that way no one feels like they’re missing out!
