Lavender Farm in Los Olivos

Enjoyed a trip to Los Olivos last Saturday with Gerri French's Meetup group (SB Food and Farm adventures). We went to Claremont lavender farms for a tour and a demo by the owner of lavender oil distillery.  He has 2 types of Lavender, one for eating (in pastries and such) and one for oils and topical application. Lavender has many health benefits. The oil absorbs through the skin. I bought a lavender lip balm.
