Ciao Coconutters!
In our first feature blog, we thought weʻd talk about
one of our favorite product ingredients: Lavender! Ok, so most of us know that lavender has amazing healing
properties and that itʻs relaxing, so what makes our lavender special? Well, because itʻs Hillfarm lavender.
Hillfarm Lavender, aka “Lavanda” is grown by our family
in northern Italy. The Hillfarm, known by the locals as “Azienda agricola delle
colline”, is located near Laverda, right outside of Marostica . Sitting on the Hillfarm
veranda, youʻll be amazed by the panoramic view! From the tips of the Dolomites
in the distance to the tiny villages in the valleys below, the farm has the perfect
backdrop for nibbling on local cheese and wine.
The Hillfarm,
which primarily produces olives for the familyʻs private olive oil stock, is
also home to the most aromatic lavender we have ever encountered. Lavender is
one of Coconut Cleanʻs most popular aromatherapy lines and plays a big part in
our production process, so we had to have the absolute best. There was no doubt
that we had found it here at the foot of the Italian Alps! Our fragrant
lavender is organically grown by the Hillfarmʻs loving residents – Linda and
Massimo! Being humble people, they give all of the credit to Billy, who lives
on the premises and does the majority of the farm work. In fact, they are so indebted to him
that Linda & Massimo considered changing the name of the farm to “Billy
Farm”
So, when you indulge in our Lavender Coconut Water Mist
or Soak in a tub filled with our Lavender Bath Salts, let your thoughts carry
you to the Hillfarm, one of the most beautiful and peaceful places on earth!
Don’t forget to submit those reviews! The first winner will
be chosen a couple of weeks from now.
That’s it in a coconutshell,
The CC Crew
