New season's Olive Oil and arrival of Alpacas
It has been a busy couple of months at Lavender Hill. The olive harvest has been completed (thanks to all our helpers!) and we have a high quality olive oil now for sale. Our olive oil is a blend of Frantoio, Leccino and Koroneiki olives and this gives a nice buttery/ peppery taste. All our olives are spray free, hand harvested and professionally pressed.
250ml are available for $18 and 500ml for $30. Just contact us for sales.
We have also welcomed new members to the farm- 5 Alpacas! They go by the names Santana, Pepe, Tequila, Rocco and Sanchoz. See our gallery for more pictures. They are very friendly and will be delighting our tourists and guests over the summer we are sure. We are now doing farm visits ($20 per person). We will be open nearly every day over the summer holidays, if you wish visit between now and summer just call us on 412 5275 to arrange time.

Wow! What a fantastic place. While we didn't go at a the time of year to see the lavender in bloom, the landscape was great, the Alpaca especially friendly and the owner was absolutely lovely. Great little shop and after a taste of their gin, just had to grab myself a bottle.

What a great quiet location with great amenities. Hosts thought of everything. We were lucky enough to smell the lavender being processed into oil. This was divine.
