Every year we hand cut beautiful, scented fresh Lavender bunches from the fields of our family farm in Kent. Read on to learn how you can care for your fresh Lavender at home.
We are back, and we are very excited to be opening the farm gates again.. but firstly, we would like to thank you for all your wonderful support over the past few months! It has been a very challenging time on the fam, but your messages, online orders and enthusiasm to return to the farm have all been very gratefully received.
We are well known for producing Lavender Oil on site here at Castle Farm… but did you know we produce FOUR different Lavender Oils?! Each has different properties and uses.
This year you can buy our two favourite Lavender Plant varieties online to enjoy in your garden (Lavender ‘Folgate’ and Lavandin ‘Grosso’). These two varieties are Castle Farm approved, hand-chosen by us, and are the plants you can see growing across our Lavender fields in the Darent Valley!
Lavender has been heralded for centuries as the ‘Mother of all Essential Oils‘ due to its reported antibacterial, anti-fungal, antioxidant, anti-inflammatory and analgesic properties.
Not many people realize when they come to Castle Farm that we grow a much wider range of crops than just lavender, hops and apples. In fact, over one third of the 1200 acres at Castle Farm grows wheat
This 100% natural little bottle of wonder – Sleepy Scent – has been developed over time on our family farm in Kent to help encourage a restful and relaxing nights’ sleep.
But how did it all come about – and how does it work?
Our #stayhome Care Packs have arrived! Enjoy some much needed relaxation in isolation…! A lovely gift to let friends and family know you are thinking of them, complete with essentials like soap and hand moisturiser delivered straight to their door.
We have re-imagined the farm shop into a DRIVE THRU to ensure you can shop safely from the comfort of your vehicle! Our Lavender fields are still green but come July, we will be offering pre-booked ticketed events to ensure our visitors and team can stay safe and adhere to social distancing guidelines.
