Brittingham Farms—a grain and lavender farm in Millsboro—will join this impressive list of locations this weekend. The farm grows seven different cultivars of lavender, planted to ensure an impressive field of purple all summer long. It grows many essential oil varieties and has started an artisanal distillery operation that will produce lavender essential oil and hydrosol used to create candles, soaps, beauty products and more. The farm also raises Leicester Longwool heritage breed sheep, first brought to the American colonies prior to the Revolutionary War by George Washington. There are only about 100 breeders of this heritage breed in the United States.
