Virginia Farming: Lavender
We see a lot of traditional row crops in Virginia. Crops like corn, cotton, soybeans and peanuts. But some Virginia farmers are diversifying into SPECIALTY crops – including medicinal herbs and lavender. So what’s the MARKET for lavender – and what can you do with it? That’s our focus on Ag Insights this week. We also have a story about agritourism and on-farm education. Plus, we’ll show you how to grow garlic in your backyard vegetable garden. Those stories and more on this episode of Virginia Farming.
