The acres Iris and her husband selected were three and a third of five hundred rolling hills. The farmhouse was originally a sheep farm and the hills in Michigan served it well. Iris shared that the area is steeped in history. Sitting on the corner of Yule and Townsend, the road names reflect the namesake of the original owners. Yule Love It Lavender Farm sits a mile outside a vintage village that Iris insists is not a town, but a blinking light. Iris and her husband took it upon themselves to learn this new northern legacy while incorporating her southern influence. Iris said “watching farms disappear and fall apart impacted me in a deep way.” This solidified her vision and the lavender planting began.
