I personally live by family-owned Eatwell Farm's Lavender Salt ($6). They can be sprinkled on tomatoes or used as a seasoning for meats (especially chicken and lamb). Other great gift ideas from Eatwell Farm include Rosemary Salt, and Pure Lavender Honey. -- Gloria Tai

Eatwell Farm writes: Thanks, Gloria! We also have fresh lavender in May-June, and all year round: dried lavender bunches, sachets, hydrosol spritzers, linen water, healing salve, and sugar body scrub. Come try our testers! We have a smattering of produce each week as well. For the best variety, try our CSA delivery service. For $21 a week, a box of organic fruits and vegetables from our local farm is delivered to a pick-up location in your neighborhood. See www.eatwell.com for details or to sign up online.
