About

Lavender, grown beside a working family dairy farm, is the story at Farmstead 1868 LLC in Cazenovia, in Madison County. The family turned part of the operation toward lavender and specialty goods during Covid, growing about two acres of the plants beside the farm and its pasture land.

The lavender business was founded in 2021 and makes lavender-based wellness products, jams and skincare in an on-farm workshop. It has grown into an agritourism stop, with on-farm events, school field trips and wellness classes that bring thousands of visitors a year out to see how a farm works.
