About Running Creek Lavender
The farm
Our lavender farm is nestled in Locust, the rolling countryside of Stanly County, just 30 minutes outside of Charlotte. What began as a simple curiosity soon grew into a passion not only for the beauty of lavender but also for the many health benefits it brings.
The start
In 2022, we began preparing 3 ½ acres of land, carefully tending the soil and dreaming of purple fields. By 2024, we planted our first 1,000 lavender plants, and the following year, we added another 5,000. Along the way, we quickly learned that lavender can be temperamental, but every challenge has been worth it. Today, we grow both culinary and medicinal varieties, each one cared for with patience and love
the journey
In 2025, we took the next step in our journey by distilling our own lavender, capturing the essence of each bloom to use in our handmade products. At the same time, our bees began working alongside us, pollinating the fields and gifting us with golden lavender honey, a sweet reminder of the harmony between plants, people, and pollinators.
community
For us, this farm is more than rows of lavender. It's a place where nature, community, and wellness come together. Our hope is that when you visit, taste our honey, or use one of our lavender products, you feel the same peace and connection to nature that inspired us to begin this journey.
