OUR STORY
|
After careers in health care and manufacturing that took our founders, Awatief and Ben to many parts of the world, they longed to establish community roots, reconnect with nature and share this connection in a meaningful way. After searching for the perfect location to encompass all these values, they chose Salt Spring Island for its clean air, pure water, and outstanding natural beauty. Here, Lavender & Black was created in 2016. Our family welcomes you to visit the farm where you can meet Hana the dog... also known as the official Lavender & Black greeter!

Our sustainable products are created from tinctured wild harvested island botanicals including tree lichen, arbutus, and rose hips, plus our farm grown and distilled lavender & helichrysum. Together with carefully selected ingredients from around the world, we hand craft essential oils, aromatherapy blends, elixirs and fragrances to aid in sleep health, vitality, skin care and overall wellness.

OUR FARMLavender & Black is a contemporary lavender farm on the North End of Salt Spring Island. Nestled between mature fir, arbutus and maple trees, the farm maintains its Pacific Northwest feel with stunning views of Stuart Channel. Here, we grow organically certified helichrysum and lavender, with varieties of these Mediterranean plants carefully chosen for their health and wellness benefits. Our plantings are heavily influenced by the native terroir, enhancing their botanical properties, while making for a uniquely beautiful farm experience. Perched on top of a hill, our contemporary studio offers expansive views of our lavender fields. We invite you to come visit our studio to view our traditional copper alembic distilling process as we make a range of small batch products in studio.
