Twin Flame Lavender Farm
Born in 2019.
Our Lavender Farm was born in 2019 and is still in the infant stages of development. The pandemic in 2020 did put us a little behind. Our farm will not be open to the public in 2021.
We will be attending many great artisan events in 2021. You may also find our retail in the Rustic Corner (Jenison) or M43 Mercantile (South Haven/Paw Paw.)
Twin Flame Lavender Farm FAQs
When will Twin Flame Lavender Farm be open to the public?
We will open once all three phases are complete. The pandemic of 2020 was a set back for us. We are hoping our plants will be mature enough, our special use permit approved and barn completed by 2022.
What types of lavender do you grow on Twin Flame Lavender Farm?
We currently have several angustifolia cultivars planted:
- Vera
- Mustead
- Hidcote Blue
- Lacy Frills
- Rosea
For 2021: we have plans to add several new intermedia cultivars and angustifolia cultivars.
How many lavender plants are growing on Twin Flame Lavender Farm?
We currently (2020) have approximately 800 lavender plants. We are hoping to double the number in 2021 to about 1600.
Do you have culinary lavender on Twin Flame Lavender Farm?
Yes, a majority of our lavender is "Angustifolia" which is considered the "gold standard" of lavender for both culinary and aromatherpy. We will be introducing "Intermedia" lavender to be sold for flower bunches only.
Lavender is in the same "family" as Rosemary so you are able to swap lavender out for rosemary in recipes.
How many acres of lavender do you currently have on Twin Flame Lavender Farm?
At the end of the 2020 season we have about 3/4 an acre. By the end of 2021 season, we are planning on housing approximately 2 acres of lavender on Twin Flame Lavender Farm.
Since Michigan summers are humid, we have our lavender spaced far apart for air flow. Lavender prefers dry heat.
What type of soil do you have on Twin Flame Lavender Farm?
While we are tucked in the DNR Allegan State Forest, Lake Michigan is only 15 miles down the road. Our soil is a lavender plant's dream - all sand!
Is your lavender organic on Twin Flame Lavender Farm?
While we are not certified organic, we maintain organic farming practices. No artificial pesticides or herbicides are utilized on our farm. We do have to amend the soil with lime once a year in order to preserve the alkalinity (6.5-7.5) of the soil for the lavender.
Where does Twin Flame Lavender Farm source their plants?
We source a majority of our Angustifolia strains from seed. This is another reason why our plants are not mature enough for us to open our farm to the public. The seeds we planted in 2019 should be close to maturity in 2021.
Growing lavender from seed is difficult and the germination rate is very low. Not all lavender farmers have the patience to do this. We are utilizing this method because we want to know that our plants were never exposed to herbicides or pesticides during their growing cycle.
When is your lavender in bloom on Twin Flame Lavender Farm?
Our lavender is in bloom between mid June and mid July.
Do you allow for professional photography on Twin Flame Lavender Farm?
Yes! For insurance purposes: the professional photographer must be licensed, insured and sign a contract before they are allowed on our property.
Will Twin Flame Lavender Farm sell plants in 2021?
Starting in 2021, we will propogate all non-patented cultivars in two rounds: summer and winter seasons. The summer propogation will be used to expand our gardens. The winter propogation will be used to replace any winter losses. Any leftover rooted plugs from our propogations that are not used for their intended purposes will be available for sale at farmer's markets.
What products will Twin Flame Lavender Farm sell in 2021?
Twin Flame Lavender Farm has been accepted to many top SW Michigan Farmer's Markets and Artisan Events in 2021. Official announcements will be added to our event calendar in late April or early May.
We will sell lavender infused value added products such as soaps, eye pillows, bath bombs, lotion bars, lip balms, etc. We will also have baked goods that will vary from market to market such as lavender lemon poppy seed bread, lavender lemon shortbread cookies, lavender cinnamon babka bread. Renee has her very own lavender recipe book in the works that will be available to purchase at markets as well. In addition we will sell available culinary lavender, live lavender bundles and dried lavender bundles subject to availability.
Paul will have his handcrafted wood working creations and Renee will also have her handcrafted fabric creations.
On top of all of that we will be introducing all natural candles made from recycled glass to our product line in 2021.
We look forward to meeting you at an event this year!
Meet the Team

Paul's love for lavender began when he moved to Anacortes, WA in 2010 and he saw the gorgeous Pelindaba lavender farm on San Juan Island. It has been his dream ever since to own a lavender farm.
Paul's responsibility will be planning for the three phases of farm growth and being in charge of the construction and development of the Twin Flame Lavender Farm project in Allegan, MI.
There is no more perfect place than on his 8 acre parcel in the sandy soil of the Allegan forest to develop and watch this dream grow!

Renee became enamored with essential oils in 2016 when her daughter, Heather, introduced them to her.. She even made homemade soaps that year and gave them out for Christmas presents. Since then, she has realized other plant byproduct such as hydrosol is equally important!
She remained intrigued at all the therapeutic possibilities of natural plants and in 2018, she started classes to become a certified aromatherapist.
While Renee was looking around their newly purchased 8 acre parcel, the possibilities became limitless.

We look forward to offering employment opportunities to the Allegan, MI area in 2020!

Bob & Junior have completely enjoyed their transition from city pups to country pups. We have added a farm cat named Walter.
