Distillation Workshop
Ever wondered how essential oils and hydrosols are made? Join us for a hands-on experience where you’ll learn the art of distillation! Bring your own botanicals, or let us guide you to pick some fresh ones right from our farm. Each participant will have their own still to load with botanicals and watch the magic unfold as we distill beautiful, aromatic oils and hydrosols together. Don’t miss out on this unique, immersive experience.
Once you’ve distilled your botanicals, we’ll guide you in creating your own product using the oils and hydrosols.
