About
Nellie's Lavender Estate was founded in memory of my grandmother, Nellie, who shared her love affair with mother earth in everything that she did and created. This energy and passion was infused in my spirit at a young age from gardening and true farm to table cuisine. To preserve a legacy, we are now a working farm that boasts over 500 lavender plants, 400,000 wildflowers, chamomile, sunflowers and specialty herbs. Bask in the beauty of natural prairie grasses, stroll through walking paths that meander through bluebird habitats and monarch butterfly waystations, or reserve magical evening for you and your guests under the stars.

I’m a single mom entrepreneur with a passion to preserve land and protect our pollinators. I have a vision of creating a legacy for my son, so I am proud to say I am a self-made farmer. Always reading and researching, I enjoy developing new products that are unique farm to table ready for use in easy entertaining. I am also a several consultant and director of a growing family and implant dental practice. Farming and working in harmony with Mother Nature grounds me.
