We are a featured business at the market this week and we are really excited about it. Come by and visit us if you are in the area....it runs from 9 am to 12 noon.

Our holiday special--buy one vinegar, one herb blend, and one jelly, receive a discount and gift bag with coordinating tissue paper!

From the Old Beach Farmers Market newsletter:

"Our featured vendor is Lavender House, brainchild of herb aficionado (and Virginia Beach Master Gardener) Billi Parus. This is the perfect time to try her aromatic herb blends to season your turkey and flavor stuffing. Whip an herb blend into butter for bread. Try flavoring cooked greens and salads with her infused vinegars. Make a glaze from herb jellies.

Billi will have numerous products to sample and printed recipes to take home. Bring your appetite and menu and she will help you craft Thanksgiving favorites with ease."
