Join us as we use our 20 gal Copper Alembic Still to produce fragrant lavender essential oil right in the middle of our lavender field! When we open the farm at 10 am we will begin the first distillation of the day, starting with an explanation of how to pack the lavender into the column, attaching all of the parts together with rye flour, and then heating up the still. The still takes approximately 3 hours to heat up and then another 2 hours to produce the essential oil. Once we have finished the first distillation, we will then begin the second run, where we will remove the distilled lavender from the column and start the process again with new lavender, which should take about 3 hours since the pot will already be hot. We should be finished with the final run of day by closing time 5pm. Walk-ins are welcome throughout the day, we hope to see you here!
