Impressed by the beauty and versatility of lavender, my family has been checking out how to grow the stuff in Indiana. Turns out it can be done, and with farmgirl style.
Dad turned my attention to these farms — Willowfield Lavender Farm and Carolee’s Herb Farm, one just south of Indianapolis, the other (the state’s largest retail herb farm) near Hartford City.
Both farms, under the heavy influence of Farmgirls Libbe and Carolee, are destinations.
Carolee’s is complete with display gardens and accommodations for groups (lunch included in the ticket price). And on June 16 Willowfield — apparently at peak lavender bloom — will play host to a an all-day Lavender Festival, that includes tours, you-pick, music and lunch. Sounds like a must-attend event.
Organic Willowfield was featured on the cover of the March issue of Indy’s South magazine.

I am very happily creating a little lavender farm on my balcony in Paris, so I think there’s every chance you’ll be successful in Indiana. Thanks for the great links 🙂
