lavender essential
oil
is organically grown and
hand processed at Eureka Farm in the Palouse region of Washington.
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 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 oil we produce.
Eureka Botanicals lavender essential oil is
hand processed on site in stainless steel food grade
distillation equipment. Small batch processing is used to produce
the finest quality precious essential lavender oil. Lavender oil is the most versatile
aromatic used in aromatherapy today. To learn more about the common
and therapeutic uses of lavender or order essential oil from Eureka
