From seed to bottle

The pretty Daisy like Chamomile flowers are grown on our farm in the village of Rainford, Merseyside, England.  They are grown organically and harvested mid to late summer and taken straight to our on site distillery.  They are steam distilled there and then while the flower is at its peak to create the wonderful Essential Oil and Hydrosol.  The oil is a stunning pale blue in appearance and its fresh crisp aroma is reassuringly similar to the scent of the growing plant, sweet, floral, warm and bright. Once distilled, samples of the essential oil are then sent away to undergo gas chromatography testing to ensure it is of the highest quality. The essential oil is then bottled by hand here on our farm or used to create soaps, massage blends and an array of skincare products.
