The Lavender Farm



In Los Olivos, right next to Solvang, there was also a Lavender Farm. The lavender was being harvested when we there. It was so beautiful. The farm's name is Clairmont Farms. They make all kinds of stuff with the lavender; soap, lotions, oil, sachets, etc. Even lavender flavored Honey... Humm delicious!
As you can see in the picture our honey is almost gone! This small jar was $8. But we have really enjoyed it in our tea. We also got cooking herbs. Lavender is an important ingredient of French cooking and my daughter Luz M. loves to cook with it. She speaks French and is into French cooking. She was thrilled to see the things we got at the farm.

En Solvang tambié fuimos a una finca de Lavanda. La estaban cosechando. El nombre de la Finca es Finca Clairmont. Ellos hacen toda clase de cosas con la lavanda; jabón, cremas, aceite, saquitos de aroma, y hasta miel de aveja con aroma de lavanda. Como pueden ver en la foto ya casi nos la terminamos porque sabe riquísima en el . También compramos lavanda de otra variedad que es la que usa para cosinar. Mi hija Luz M. sabe hablar francés y le encanta cocinas recetas de Francia. La lavanda es un ingrediente impresindible de la comida francesa. A ella le encantaron las cosas que le trajimos de la finca.
