Windy and her husband Terry own a Lavender farm called Belle Lavande out of Stockbridge, Michigan. All their products are made in house and are 100% Natural Non-GMO.
They have a storefront in Downtown Plymouth and they have their products in FreshThyme Market. What started this journey was when Windy and Terry went on a trip up north to Glenn Arbor. They went to a coffee shop in town and then they went to a farmers market. They really enjoyed the atmosphere of the market and wanted to find something that they could sell. They chose to grow lavender because it is an easy going plant that does not require a lot of attention.
