Connections and Collaborations

 

Building Our Connections and Collaborations

Over the years of developing our lavender farm, we have met incredible farmers and creatives within our community. Like us, they are driven by a passion for creating outstanding products for the local area. To foster online connections with these talented individuals, we have linked their websites to ours, making it easier for you to discover them. Supporting local businesses not only provides access to high-quality products but also helps these entrepreneurs grow their farms and companies. 

By supporting these programs, we help farmers and community members find fresh products. 

**Featured Local Partners:**
- The Huntsville Food Hub:
The Hub exists to make local food easier to buy and easier to sell, while keeping producers at the center of the system. We provide a convenient way to purchase local food and support our local food economy, year-round through our online marketplace.

- The Market Mule
We are Matt and Amy Mauldin, co-owners of Market Mule (as well as our own farm Apollo Acres in Meridianville). We love attending farmers markets as vendors and as customers. We see a growing need to extend the reach of farmers, makers, and producers to those who would love to support local, but are unable to shop regularly at markets. We created Market Mule to help fill that role.

- Alabama Goods
Alabama Goods is a locally owned company that sells distinctive goods crafted in Alabama.  Sherry Hartley and Beth Staula love the state of Alabama and knew others did too, so they created a place where people could find wonderful products made in Alabama. Each item reflects Alabama's warm character and creative spirit. When buying from Alabama Goods, you are supporting local artisans, craftsmen, and food makers.

- Southern Kitchen & Home
Southern Kitchen and Home is a woman-owned small business dedicated to bringing the warmth and charm of Southern living into your home. We offer a curated selection of unique kitchen and home items—from spices and oils to jams, tableware, and home décor-sourced primarily from small businesses across the South.
