Write a reviewSince 2001 a small cottage industry business has been growing behind a tree line adjacent one of Kangaroos Island's busiest roads. Emu Bay Lavender, which opened for business on Boxing Day 2004, is situated and Emu Bay Road just minutes form the beach and represents the culmination of four years of planning by Tony Bella nd Maria Patterson. Looking to diversify from the traditional farming activity on their property, they planted a small garden of five lavender varietes in 2001, and the following year prepared for their first big planting with six different varities. In the summer of 2003/04 more than 1,000 bunches were harvested and later stripped by hand, yielding about 13 kilograms of dries lavender. Interestingly it takes an average of 100 kilograms of flower head to produce one litre of lavender oil, depending ont he variety and size. Now in 2005 there are 13 varieties and 3,000 producing lavenders on the site, that Tony and Maria evetually hope to expand to 25,000 in the years ahead.
