Emu Bay Lavender, is situated at Emu
Bay Road just minutes form the beach and represents the
culmination of four years of planning by Tony Bell and Maria
Patterson.
Looking to diversify from the traditional farming activity
on their property, they planted a small garden of five lavender
varietes in 2001, and the following year prepared for their
first big planting with six different varities.
In the summer of 2003/04 more than 1,000 bunches were harvested
and later stripped by hand, yielding about 13 kilograms
of dries lavender. Interestingly it takes an average of
100 kilograms of flower head to produce one litre of lavender
oil, depending ont he variety and size.
As of season 2008 Emu Bay Lavender has
12 cultivars of English Lavender with 8000 producing plants.
