the media on the lavender way
Though in terms of turnover and financial impact the lavender way might be a small enterprise the amount of publicity that it has attracted in recent years is not. It seems to be an inspirational idea and media organisations small and large regularly find something uplifting and congratulatory to say about it and us.
television coverage
The local Xania TV station Kydon commissioned a program about the farm in 2007 and showed it 3 times in six months due to popular demand and although we do not ourselves take broadcast TV we are told that is still shown to this day.
Only recently (2012) our local postman said that he had seen "the lavender lady on the television last week"
web coverage
The renowned aromatherapists Andrea Butje and Christine Polynj visited us at the farm last year and Andrea wrote up her visit on her blog.
The renowned travel writer Heidi Fuller Love had an article about us published in the magazine Internationl Living in 2012 - read it *here*
The only anglophone newspaper in the Rethymnon area is The Rethymnon Bugle which publishes monthly in print and online. They regularly cover innovative enterprises in the prefecture. They ran a very favourable article on the farm in 2009 having been captivated by the idea of it and eventually the reality of it. A pdf of the relevant issue can be downloaded by clicking here. The actual article is on page 5.
