Pelindaba Lavender Friday Harbor offers handcrafted lavender products made exclusively at Pelindaba Lavender Farm on San Juan Island. Washington. - - - Pelindaba Lavender is a premier grower of lavender plants, distiller of lavender essential oils and handcrafter of lavender products. On our beautiful farm on San Juan Island, we undertake these activities in accordance with the highest environmental and aesthetic standards. We cultivate all our lavender flowers in our own organically certified fields and extract the essential oils from these flowers in our own on-site distillery. From these flowers and essential oils, we handcraft on-site a wide range of botanical, culinary, personal care, therapeutic, household & pet care products. This vertically integrated model of sustainable agriculture enables us to preserve the farmland from further development, protect it from pollution, create employment opportunities for our fellow islanders and provide a destination of natural beauty for islanders and visitors alike. We believe that these endeavors, pursued with integrity and passion, will provide ample satisfaction in both human and economic terms, and will do full justice to our name... Pelindaba "Place of Great Gatherings". - - - In 2004 we opened Pelindaba Lavender in Downtown Friday Harbor for many reasons, not least among which was to provide a location close to the ferry landing for visitors who might not be able to visit the farm, but who still wanted a taste of our products (literally and figuratively). This unique Product Gallery is located in the Friday Harbor Center on First Street in Friday Harbor, just a block from the ferry landing.
