Our Farm

Growing lavender allows our family to combine our love of the plant with our love of the land.  We feel this is a great way to raise a family, build a strong business, benefit our community, and a beautiful way to stay in love and grow old together.

To create a viable, sustainable farm-focused business that we can pass on to our children, continuing our family’s farming legacy.

We promote awareness of specialty crop farming, and enjoy educating the public about agricultural management, and the farming culture of our great state.

We believe in the health benefits of essential oils, lavender, and aromatherapy practices, and will encourage personal wellness through education.

We aspire to create a viable, sustainable farm-focused business that we can passed on to our children, continuing our family’s farming legacy.

Seven Days - In the Northeast Kingdom, Lavender Essentials of Vermont Grows an Agribusiness, June 2019

Only in your State - Get Lost In This 30-Acre Beautiful Lavender Farm In Vermont, June 2019

Across the Fence

The NEK Voice

A Family Business

Pierre and Michele Capron and started the lavender farm in the spring of 2017. Both Michele and Pierre grew up on dairy farms in the Northeast Kingdom of Vermont, and are proud to be the next generation of farmers, working the same land as Michele’s grandparents once did. We are a multi-generational farm family, hoping to develop a successful business that can one day be passed onto our children.

It took a lot of research and planning before we began our new adventure.  We knew with some luck and determination, we would be successful lavender farmers!  Our desire to work for ourselves, step away from our high pressure jobs, and utilize family land was our driving force. We felt lavender was the right crop for us, so with a brave entrepreneurial spirit we took the leap, and fully committed ourselves to using all of our knowledge, resources, and hard work into making our small lavender business succeed! 

We have English lavenders, Munstead and English. We also have Chamomile, Mints, Sunflowers, Veggies, Herbs and more, available for you-pick. We proudly rely on a 140ft Bergey wind turbine to generate electricity and reduce our carbon foot print. A natural spring-fed pond sits next to the lavender field and aids in our crop irrigation.

Our farm has amazing views for miles around of both the US as well as Canada.   It is a beautiful and peaceful place to visit, helping to relax the souls and bring wellness of all who visit.  We are excited to offer a new creative destination through eco-tourism as well as a line of aromatherapy products made from our home grown and produced essential oils.  We have a beautiful farm, perfect for your Destination Wedding!

At Lavender Essentials of Vermont, we follow organic farming practices, and use no pesticides or harmful fertilizers.

In order to maintain a culinary grade of lavender we ask that visitors refrain from bringing animals. Thank you.

The Romantic Date Night and Chef’s Choice Dinner Experiences, as well as our Picnics in the Lavender Field have been a huge success, and we will be expanding on these exclusive activities during this summer season!

Lavender blooms in July, August, and September, and continues to do so until the first frost, provided the blooms are pruned regularly throughout the season.

Each year we plant more new things—ever expanding our knowledge of native Vermont plants and self-sustainability.
