Welcome to The Fragrance Farm

The 2010 growing season has been one to remember. French and English lavenders rose to the sun and rewarded us with a fabulous harvest of delicate bud and flowers. The bud has completed the drying process and our next harvest will be of clippings in October. Clippings created by pruning will be dried and bundled into fire sticks, the most fragrant way we know to kindle a fire come winter! In the meantime, our high-tunnel has been completed and we are planting French lavenders that will become the base of our distillation efforts in 2012.

In all, we feel blessed by the weather, the harvest and the warm welcome we have received from so many as we expand the farm to its Main Street, Camden storefront. We’ll hope to welcome you to the farm during the 2011 Lavender Festival. Until then, please visit us at 22 Main Street, Camden, or shop our online in our store. You can also find Glendarragh Lavender at work in recipes in fine restaurants, including Shepard’s Pie in Rockport and in Maine Mead Works’ Lavender Mead.

Glendarragh Farm, home of Maine’s first commercial lavender farm, grows more than a dozen varieties of lavender in sweetly fragrant, hand-tended, organically fertilized fields. After the harvest we hand mix luxurious lavender-infused bath products and wedding favors to keep the good scents going year round.

From bath to culinary to decorative to a traditionally-inspired first aid kit, The Fragrance Farm helps you practice good scents, year round!
