• Are you wanting to turn your passion for growing lavender into an income-producing year-round business?
• What do you do when your lavender has been harvested and you think you have nothing to bring customers to your farm?
• What skills can you leverage to bring in more revenue?
• Do you like to teach?
• Do you live in a small town and wonder how you can survive on locals?

These questions are just a few of the issues we will discuss in our Front Porch session.

About Ellen:

Ellen Reynolds opened Beagle Ridge in 2001 and has been specializing in lavender for over 20 years. She is a recognized speaker at lavender and herb events up and down the East Coast and is a Charter member of the USLGA serving on various committees over the years.

Beagle Ridge is a thriving Herb and Lavender Farm and agritourism destination in Wytheville, Virginia.   She has welcomed visitors from all 50 states and 29 foreign countries. Ellen’s passion for teaching other growers has created a thriving workshop series known as Lavender Academy. The Academy teaches novice and expert growers how to grow Lavender and grow their lavender business. Since the beginning of the Lavender Academy in 2019, students from 32 states have come to take these weekend-long workshops.

By diversifying her business with other offerings, Ellen’s husband retired early to help with the business. Although only open to the public 6 months out of the year, 5 years ago she hired a full-time year-round employee to help in the business.
