About Mendip Lavender

Mendip Lavender has been growing and distilling lavender since 1999 when Jon and Jenny
Turner started planting it on their farm in the stunning Mendip Hills in Somerset. Since then,
the business has grown into a much-loved local brand.
All our lavender has been grown without the use of pesticides, fertilisers or fungicides and is
harvested by hand.
We distil the flowers using the traditional steam distillation process with water from a
borehole on the Mendips. The oil matures before it is blended into our wonderful range of
natural skincare and gifts.
As well as our essential oils and hydrolat, we have expanded our range to include soap,
creams, massage oils and homeware products, all made by hand using carefully sourced,
natural ingredients.
After running the business for 25 years Jon and Jenny have moved on to pastures new,
handing Mendip Lavender on to horticulture expert and entrepreneur Rick Freeman.
Rick has spent the last few years growing and distilling organic lavender, rosemary and other
herbs on an organic farm in Cornwall. Before that he owned Somerset beverage brand
Lovely Drinks, winning multiple awards for his delicious and natural recipes made with the
finest ingredients.
He also helps small drinks brands bring their ideas to life through his canning and recipe
design company, Lovely Developments.
Rick will use his passion for herbs, pure ingredients, and living in harmony with nature, to
develop the Mendip Lavender range. Look out for new products and fresh branding coming
soon!
