Ta da!! Stonewell Farm has produced its first batch of Lavender Honey !! This years stellar honey harvest is delicious on its own, and we’ve added just a light hint of lavender for a novel taste. ⠀
⠀
It’s a lengthy process to make lavender honey. We use carefully cleaned culinary lavender buds in large jars which get turned upside down as many times a day as I walk by them. Lavender requires heat to release the flavour from the buds, so the jars are also put in a hot water bath several times a week. In total the process takes 3 weeks! Some people have asked if we use lavender oil in our honey and the answer is no. Lavender oil should not be consumed. It’s too strong a flavour in an essential oil form. ⠀

Happily, my husband Tom offered to help and he was put in charge of the filling. So grateful! ⠀If you would like some lavender honey, send me a message at hello@stonewellfarm.ca !
