Pottique Lavender Farm
I was graced recently with a road trip to Pottique Lavender Farm just on the outskirts of Kingaroy on the D’Aguiar Highway Qld.
I had all intentions of asking questions and finding out some background info, but it was really a trip to spend some time with some special friends, you know those ones that lift your spirit and make you shine, smile and laugh, those besties who fill your cup instead of draining it and the Lavender Farm was the perfect place to put some back in our cups.
When you first walk up the path you know you’ve found a special little tranquil place. The cottage and gardens catch your attention and instantly bring a pause to a busy life.
At this stage our tummies were excited to try some eatable Lavender treats, so we headed straight inside and ordered. To our delight, the choice of seating had many stunning options spread out amongs the seperate gardens and courtyards. The Lavender Farm caters for a light lunch so I tried their Lavender and Garlic Cheese on toast. Yum. Spreading the mint leaves on top really adds to the taste and washed down with a Lavender soft drink. How satisfying.
Now relaxed and happy, we explored the garden and Lavender Field. The 5000 Lavender plants were growing in rows in the rich red Kingaroy soil and still flowering. The scent of Lavender filled the breeze and the many bees hummed in delight. The atmosphere was gratifying.
There are also a couple of shops to explore filled with products and collectibles. The Farm stocks a variety of their own made Lavender products from body products, honey, jam, syrups, lacquers and wines. They also have a mini nursery so you can grow one of their Lavender plants at home.
After purchasing a few goodies, we nestled in another hidden courtyard that provided a lux country French cottage space and decided that trying their home-made Lavender Scones topped with jam and cream was a must. And I would have to admit that they were the best scones I have had. With the mild hint of Lavender, they were certainly a treat. Sipping on Lavender chilled wine, cappuccinos and Lavender soft drink with the company of cherished friends the day slipped away.
Not sure if it was the effects of the Lavender that was the cause but rolling in fields and surrounded by flowers, we embraced the release of some stresses driving away into the sunset ready to face another day!
Dedicated to our friendships!
Thanks to Pottique Lavender Farm for having us!
