@@AgricultureAcademy Thank you! I will. It's been a journey----especially since COVID. I have to admit, my "babies" (our lavender) have been doing great! Having our field helped us get through last year.
My research suggests that running an Airbnb or VRBO on a lavender farm is a bit of a wash. Rents aren't predictably higher than other vacation rentals, however the extra appeal of the lavender fields might increse demand so you have less vacancy. I like the term "chalet", rather than the cabin I was thinking of... more romantic.
Informative and short video - thank you! Just a note - you used photos of the muscari bulb (grape hyacinth) in the title screen of the video and again later, which is not lavender and could cause confusion to people.
@@elainefleischmann4175 They are selling buiss… cough* e-book! And probably awful one on top of it! like most are! You know… the real farmers that know the topic, don’t actually write/sell ebooks. Muscari blunder isn’t just innocent error, but a huge sign of a business that revolves around YT and ebooks done by layman’s who usually know nothing and are recycling public knowledge/sources for profit, in a usually bad videos that promotes even worse books.
@@stormtrooper9404 Right. However I disagree on one of your points. Some farmers do write quality books. Eliot Coleman immediately comes to mind. I could never take horticultural advice from anyone who can't tell a rooted perennial (Lavendula) from a Hyacinth bulb (Muscari). 😄
1) That robot voice... 2) This looks like the project result of a 1st year food & business student. Dreaming out loud accompanied by the usual feel good shutterstock footage. Well, at least you spared us the uplifting jingle music.
It would appear that my life is trending up as I will be owning/farming lavender before too long...I’ve always had a penchant for all things in the garden as a landscaper...I’m anxious to get started but the land acquisition is in it’s infancy stage so, I’ll be patient...I would love to sell oils in Europe..
I really enjoy your content. Please keep these videos coming. If possible can you please do some growing guides for true to type fruits that can be grown from seed.
Since it is a perennial, you can also get your own cuttings from your own plants and expand that way. Since it has about a 4-6 year life cycle, my understanding is that you should be replanting about a fifth of your crop each year anyways, and you will only be harvesting half to two-thirds.
Why not naming it just "Farming Academy", Lavender is Really Special, to Be Like Other English is Like Can Create Unhealthiness is Knowing of Something Enjoyable(Farming Lavender). Anyway, Know How Fast "Valerian Root" Can Grow? Is it a Bush Size or Normal Tree Type? If It Can Become a Fertilizer of Lavender Farm(1 Plot), I want to Try Like This.
Southern India is too hot and wet for lavender. Northern India has better soil for lavender. You want loose, sandy soil with good drainage, possibly on a hillside or slope. You want good rains in the spring, but very important to avoid excessive moisture. Careful with the mulching, and leave room for airflow to circulate around the bushes. More information is available online.
Wir denken derzeit darüber nach, Teile unserer Flächen in Lavendel Plantagen zu wandeln. Teil des Plans wäre, zur Blütezeit gegen Gebühr die Möglichkeit einzuräumen, Picknick im Feld zu machen. Wir würden den Platz bereitstellen. Sofern möglich würden wir mit einem Restaurant als Partner eine Menü nach Rezepten der Provence anbieten.
Depending on the region of Brazil, it might be too warm and too wet. If it is too warm and too wet, perhaps consider growing vanilla instead. Dependendo da região do Brasil, pode ser muito quente e muito úmido. Se estiver muito quente e úmido, talvez considere cultivar baunilha.
How to: prepare the soil (loose/sandy, good drainage, not too rich of mulch, raised beds okay). Choose annual or perennial (perennial is better, usually). Plant the cuttings. Keep wet in the spring, dry in the summer. Might take 2-3 years to fully mature. Cut in bunches in the late summer to early fall. Leave at least six inches above the ground to grow back next year, and if you have cold winters you can cover lightly with conifer branches over the winter, or a ground cover. Flowers can be sold fresh in bouquets, dried, or used for cooking/mixology. Oils can be pressed, and essences can be distilled. Life cycle depends on breed but tends to be about 5 years for many types, so re-plant 20% of your crop each year.
Lavender doesn't like to be over-wet, but it does require water to establish itself early in its lifecycle. A good drip irrigation system would be essential.
It was short but very beneficial.
Thank you! 😀
Every w
I was honestly only looking into growing lavender because it keeps mosquitos away.
But perhaps I was too short sighted lol.
Brilliant idea
Bees love lavender, and apparently the honey is more valuable too.
We are so excited to have our lavender farm underway! It's a great journey!
Oh how great is that! Please keep us updated to how it is going!
@@AgricultureAcademy Thank you! I will. It's been a journey----especially since COVID. I have to admit, my "babies" (our lavender) have been doing great! Having our field helped us get through last year.
How is the farm going?? We are looking into starting one in SoCal
Any updates on the farm?

Haha thanks!
Looks so relaxing.
If we are in Africa and interested to farm lavender ..How can we access the market abroad
-How can we get seeds for germination.

Thanks for the heads up! And we appreciate the kind words and helpful suggestions too 😊
Yes! Those Muscari being equated with lavender puts the expertise of the presenters into question.

Very informative.......am from Bhaderwah, India ...... Looking to grow lavender soon..!!! Thanx..
According to Google Maps that might be a very good area to grow lavender. Good luck!

What type of Lavender variety is the best for oil production?

Hi Yusuf, thank you for supporting our channel! We have noted your suggestion and will see what we can do!
It's an excellent insect repellent
Thank you, very informative.
Thank you!!
@@AgricultureAcademy hi folks, I've recently moved to South Carolina and would love to grow lavender to sell. How would I sell it?
Don’t try to grow from seed, as it is almost impossible. Rather, take cuttings and replant them. It’s much easier...
Since it is a perennial, you can also get your own cuttings from your own plants and expand that way. Since it has about a 4-6 year life cycle, my understanding is that you should be replanting about a fifth of your crop each year anyways, and you will only be harvesting half to two-thirds.

We’ll this should be easy. I just need about 9.75 million for land, a restaurant and about 90 people to run it.
Thanks for sharing
Thanks for watching!
@@AgricultureAcademy thanks for responding!
Informative..
Hello sir, I am an Indian. I want to start a lavender farm business but I don't know about lavender marketing. Can you explain to me?
Southern India is too hot and wet for lavender. Northern India has better soil for lavender. You want loose, sandy soil with good drainage, possibly on a hillside or slope. You want good rains in the spring, but very important to avoid excessive moisture. Careful with the mulching, and leave room for airflow to circulate around the bushes. More information is available online.
Southern India would be better for growing vanilla, a very valuable but labor-intensive flower.
Anyone have experience in farming lavender ? Might have some funding coming in for a farm soon.
Thank you
You're welcome! Glad you enjoyed 😀

Great idea 👏

Can we grow them anywhere?
If you have full sun, warm temperatures and minimal humidity then you’d have a better chance of success ☺️
@@AgricultureAcademy what about temperate zones (zone 12)

Thank you for the helpful information
