About Us
Lavender Bee Company is a proud four-generation family farm nestled in Lafayette, Indiana, dedicated to cultivating premium lavender and producing exceptional honey. Our passion for sustainable farming and natural wellness is reflected in every bloom and every jar.
We grow six distinct lavender varietals, each chosen for its unique qualities and purpose:
- Grosso – Our primary source for essential oils
- Phenomenal – Known for its rich, lasting fragrance
- Munstead – Ideal for fresh or dried bouquets
- Royal Velvet – Perfect for culinary creations
- Hidcote – Beautiful in dry bundles for fragrance or décor
- Vera – Versatile for both essential oil and dried arrangements
Lavender is a patient crop, taking up to five years to reach full maturity and potency. As our fields grow, we’re expanding to fill all six acres with these fragrant beauties.
Our honeybees thrive on a diverse and abundant diet, foraging from our lavender fields, 24 varieties of apple trees, and four types of peach and cherry trees. This rich blend of nectar sources creates a rare and complex honey with a distinctive color and flavor. All honey is harvested and bottled right here on the farm.
We welcome visitors May through October, including during our three annual festivals, where you can explore the farm, enjoy live demonstrations, and even suit up to experience a hive inspection firsthand! We also offer educational opportunities such as farm tours, school visits, and speaking engagements for local clubs and organizations.
Thank you for supporting our local, family-run farm. We can’t wait to share the beauty of lavender and the magic of bees with you!
