Not all lavender is meant for the kitchen — and that difference matters more than most people realize.
Most culinary lavender you find online is French lavandin (Lavandula x intermedia), a hybrid bred for high oil yield. It’s sharper, higher in camphor, and has a soapy, almost medicinal edge that can overwhelm food. Our dried lavender buds are English lavender (Lavandula angustifolia) — the sweeter, gentler species with lower camphor and a floral flavor that actually belongs in your kitchen. It’s the variety professional bakers and chefs reach for, and it’s what we grow and dry right here on our farm.
Every batch is hand-harvested and dried on our family farm in Caledonia, Michigan. Food-grade and pesticide-free. No additives, no blending, no mystery sourcing. Just the flowers we grew, dried carefully to hold their aroma and flavor.
A little goes a long way. Here’s how our customers use it:
- Baking — shortbread, scones, pound cake, lemon lavender loaf
- Lemonade & drinks — lavender simple syrup, lavender lemonade, London fogs
- Cocktails — French 75s, gin & tonics, lavender mules
- Tea — steep a pinch on its own or blend with chamomile
- Lavender sugar — layer buds with sugar in a jar for a week and you’ll never go back to plain sugar again
Start with less than you think you need — about ½ to 1 teaspoon for most recipes. Lavender is a flavor that rewards a light hand. We promise, once you taste the difference English lavender makes, you’ll keep a jar in your pantry year-round.
From our farm to your kitchen, with love.

I love lavender and was looking for an organic extract I could use on my coffee and hot chocolate. This Culinary Lavender gives the perfect lavender taste to my drinks and I don't feel guilty about putting something full of sugar on my body like other cheap syrups on the market. The quality equals the price!
I have not used it yet, but just smelling it I can tell it's a quality product.
Hi Marsha, thank you for your kind words! We're delighted to hear you enjoyed the scent of our dried culinary lavender. We look forward to hearing how you use it in your cooking.
I purchased this as an experiment to mix with lemonade to make lavender lemonade. My hope was that the extract would provide a highly concentrated lavender flavor so I could concentrate the lemonade. It was however much more mild that I was hoping for at least in lemonade. I have not yet tried it in baking application so it might well be lovely in a muffin or scone.
Thank you for your feedback. We appreciate your insight and hope the extract works well for baking or other recipes where a milder lavender flavor is desired.
I am baking my own wedding cake - lavender lemon with lavender lemon Swiss Meringue Buttercream! I purchased several dried culinary lavenders to see which would work best for the cake. This lavender had by far the deepest color. Fragrance was lovely. I made my second test cake and invited friends over to try. The feedback was phenomenal. I'll be purchasing more for the big event!
We’re thrilled to hear your lavender was perfect for your wedding cake! Wishing you a beautiful celebration.
The Lavender arrived in these very cute little jars. They smell wonderful and I'm using the buds to infuse my honey. I'm currently using the cold method and hoping in a few weeks I have a strong Lavender Honey for my morning lemon water. I'm so impressed that I've order other items (shipment pending) and I'm considering even more!
Hi Jill! We're delighted to hear you love the lavender and that it's inspiring your honey infusion. Thank you for your wonderful support—can't wait for you to try more of our products! Enjoy your lavender honey and your lemon water!
Best quality Lavender Extract! I love to add this into my iced green tea; so relaxing and refreshing. It is the best in Chamomile tea at night. I am also loving the Lavender Maple Syrup on pancakes and waffles!

Order arrived early and is wonderful! It's so aromatic and flavorful. I already mixed it with matcha and it's giving me the best boost, without the jitteries. It came with some great coupons, which I'm looking to use for the flower syrup and honey set. I feel like it's going to go great in a batch of mead. I look forward to trying more products!

Thank you so much for my lavender! I could not stop smelling it once my package arrived! I made Lavender Lemonade, and of course a simple Lavender syrup, and it came out PERFECT!

I bought the large lavender neck wrap and the loose lavender for my tea and to flavor my goat cheese.
Everything was delicious!!!
I was so happy I just bought all my friends Christmas presents from your store for my best friends.
I know it’s 10 months away but I also know they will appreciate and love the bath products and syrup and the two different neck wraps are going to be loved.
Thank you,
Cindy Black.

Making scones today for guests arriving tomorrow. My last batch was made with buds over a year old and did not come out as well. I like the fact that LLC's come in a self-sealing bottle rather than a zip-bag for storage.
Thank you for taking the time to leave a review. We're so glad to hear that our Lavender Herb has made a difference in your scone-making experience.
I’ve only tried the lavender syrup so far. It’s so good, I’m on my second bottle and I’m going to send one to my sister in law. 😊
Thank you so much for leaving such a lovely review. We're thrilled to hear that you're enjoying our lavender syrup and even planning to share it. That's so sweet! We hope you continue to enjoy our products.
I was so pleased with the items I received. The lavender honey, extract and small blooms were amazing! I made a cake that was not only beautiful, but praised for the wonderful flavors. I would definitely recommend and buy from this supplier again.
Thank you for your kind words and for choosing our Lavender Herb for your cooking and tea needs. It brings us joy to know that your cake turned out beautifully. We appreciate your recommendation and we look forward to serving you again in the future.
We’ve tried a bunch of different ones out there. We make lemon lavender scones and the lavender from Lavender Life is the best!
Thank you so much for your kind words and for choosing our Lavender Herb for your culinary needs! Those lemon lavender scones sound absolutely delicious.
I love my new lavender products! Not only do they taste good they also look good at my coffee and tea bar!
Thank you for your kind words! We're thrilled to hear that you are enjoying our Culinary Lavender Extract. We agree, it adds a delicious flavor to beverages and looks beautiful at any coffee or tea bar. We appreciate your support.

I love the Lavender Herb. The bottle is so cute and fits on my herb shelf. I highly recommend as it looks good in your kitchen and also makes great tea 👍
Thank you for your lovely review of our Lavender Herb! We appreciate your recommendation and hope you continue to enjoy our product.
I purchased the lavender extract for use in baking. While it smells lovely, it’s not stout enough to really give the cookies I made the lavender taste / scent that I was looking for. Maybe it’d be better in drinks, but with it being an extract, there is a bit of bitterness to it that will have to be compensated for.
Thank you for taking the time to leave a review. We're happy to hear that you enjoyed the fragrance of our Lavender Extract. We apologize that it did not provide the strong lavender taste you were looking for in your cookies. We appreciate your feedback and will take it into consideration for future improvements.
I love this little container and the lavender.
Quality and packaging was best ever! Thank you!
