Last weekend, we visited Australia’s largest and oldest lavender farm, here in Tasmania. We timed it perfectly.
“The fields contain approximately 65,000 plants and the total length of the rows are 200 kilometres. Harvesting takes place in January.”
The scene and the scent were both beautiful. We wandered along the rows, amongst the plants and enjoyed lavender inspired treats in the café.

There are smaller farms that we’ve been to, but our first visit to Bkidestowe, a couple of hours drive away. It was well worth the trip 🙂

Very pretty. The purple against the red soil is stunning. Do you know how the lavender crop is harvested? What does the crop get used for? Den xx

Hi Den. They use mechanical cutters to harvest flower heads and stalks from the plants. It is distilled into essential oil, and for room sprays, etc.

Stunning, but 200 kilometres that is a l-o-n-g, long row. The scent would be divine
