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.

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.
