Organically Grown Culinary Lavender Buds | Ravencroft Farm
Bring a taste of Mayne Island to your pantry with organically grown, hand-harvested culinary lavender from Ravencroft Farm.
Tucked into a sun-drenched valley below Mount Parke, Ravencroft Farm cultivates premium Hidcote English Lavender (Lavandula angustifolia). Unlike ornamental or perfume lavenders that can taste soapy or bitter, Hidcote is renowned for its low camphor content, vibrant violet color, and sweet, citrusy-floral flavor profile.
A little goes a long way to elevate both sweet treats and savory creations.
