It started with a dream
Our story
We're Kim & Jason, college sweethearts who are embarking on our dream of creating a lavender farm and garden estate.
In July of 2020, that dream started to take shape. Just 90 minutes outside of Chicago, we decided to invest our savings on a 7.68 acre property in unincorporated Crystal Lake, Illinois. By 2021, we started preparing our space for an interactive u-pick experience and quality culinary and bath products. We specialize in lavender and sunflower growing, available for purchase on-farm or farmers market.
