Eureka Botanicals lavender buds and essential oil
are organically
grown and hand crafted down on Eureka Farm in the Palouse
country of south eastern Washington State. |
The rolling fertile hills
of the Palouse were formed by a history of prehistoric floods
and windblown dunes of volcanic ash. This ancient soil is the
essence of the depth and richness of eureka botanicals lavender
bud and essential oil.
Eureka Farm has been
in our family for generations. Two decades ago we took over
farming operations from our parents. We pioneered organically
grown grains and experimented with new crops. The introduction
of French lavender to Eureka Farm in 1999 was inspired by a
trip to Provence, France. Eureka Botanicals has evolved from
the original planting of fragrant lavender and our family farm
now grows nearly an acre of French lavender. Living, conserving,
and working on Eureka Farm has instilled in us self reliance,
integrity, a creative sense of wonder, and a healthy sense
of adventure about the earth and the people on it. We try to
instill these values in every ounce of the lavender bud and
oil that we produce.
Eureka Botanicals lavender
bud is hand processed on site to order to ensure the very best
scent. The essential oil is pure undeluted lavender oil produced
in small batches and only released when it has been properly
aged. Lavender oil is the most versatile aromatic used in aromatherapy
today. To learn more about the common and therapeutic uses
