Located at 229 Conrad Ridge Rd.,
Brooksville, KY 41004, 606-735-3355. Lavender Hills of Kentucky is a
family owned and operated lavender farm beginning its third year of
operation. Located in the northern Kentucky county of Bracken, this
family farm was established in 1965 with tobacco and cattle being the
main source of income. Over forty years later, our goals have changed to
include the production of lavender. Three generations have come together
to begin the first lavender farm in Kentucky! Lavender is a lovely
flower used for many decorative items as well as an herb used in many
recipes from entrees to desserts. Our first year consisted of plans and
plantings. We established our first field with 375 Grosso plants in June
2005. During the second year more Grosso plants were added as well as
the introduction of Munstead and Rosea. The second year also resulted in
the successful opening of our on-farm gift shop. Our first harvest
happened in June 2006 with over 750 bundles collected. Our plans include
selling these beautiful dried lavender bundles, lavender buds,
lavender-filled products, plants, culinary lavender, and essential oils
for creating our own line of soaps and lotions. All products will be
available on our website as well as in our farm-site gift shop. The
third year promises more good things to come including the planting of a
u-pick area. The area will contain a number of lavender varieties in
blues, pinks, purples, yellows, and whites. As our business continues to
expand, our goal is to open the farm for tours, picnics, weddings, etc.
We are currently members of the Herb Growing & Marketing Network and the
River Valley Agritourism Alliance. Once harvesting begins for culinary
lavender, we will be applying for membership with Kentucky Proud.

Lighthouse Herbs,
William Burgess, 122-B Edison Ave., Portsmouth, VA 23702; 757-673-0372;
email I produce homemade
herbal extracts of both single herbs and combos that are based on the
teachings and formulae of other herbalists, and/or my own experience. I
use quality, organically grown and wild crafted herbs from sustainable
sources, and try and make my extracts as potent if not more so than the
Eclectic Materia Medicae call for. I do ship and only have retail
pricing as of now, though my prices may be cheaper than most health food
stores. As my fledgling business sees fit to grow, I will be expanding
and trying new things to help both the consumer, and the growth of my
business.
