Upcoming Lavender Festval in WV

Filed under: Uncategorized — admin @ 6:33 am

I’ll be at the 2009 West Virginia Lavender Festival this weekend (June 27) at La Paix Herb Farm in Alum Bridge.  It’s a hard place to stay away from.  If you believe in fairies, the place is filled with them.  And as you suspend your anxieties and enjoy the remote surroundings, you’ll find out why people come back year after year. 

This year the theme is “Keep on Dancing” and dance we will.  The music will be there along with a gourmet luncheon from Chef Dale Hawkins.  If you nothing but sit and enjoy the lectures it’s the best way to spend a summer Saturday that I know.  For a lot more details visit www.lapaixherbfarm.com   I hope I’ll see you there.

Why do you get into an herb business?

Filed under: Reflections — admin @ 4:31 pm

Could be a need to expose others to the joy of working with plants.  Whether it is a gastronomic experience, or because you feel that alternative medicine is a kinder, gentler form of healing, or the idea of working with scents makes sense (pun intended).  If you get into the herb industry because you have a passion, it will be a lot easier when things don’t always go right.  And trust me, they won’t.  And passion takes a job and makes it a career.  That’s why if you’re not doing something you love, start looking for a change.
