Wow, this place is great. I am so glad we stopped here whilst in Door County--it was my favorite place to stop. The owners are great. I'm not sure if it's ~recently changed ownership or not. But the owners were here with their infant when we stoped in just after opening on Sunday morning, and told us a bit of their story. Apparently the father of one of them started making lotion some years ago, and after a while they looked into lavender when trying to decide what they wanted to focus on for their family. Apparently the pH of the soil in Door County is perfect for this crop, so they planted over 5,000 lavender plants and started their empire. This sweet shop has just about anything you could want that's lavender-related. I'm sure most folks think of cosmetics and toiletries, which they have in abundance as you might expect. Lavender is actually not high on my list of favorite flowers or herbs because it is usually far too overpowering for me, but some of the lotions and potions they sell lean toward the mild side scent-wise, so if you have a similar sensitivity you may still find something you like. In addition to foods and toiletries, they also sell gifts, art, and household items as well. They've developed their own lavender lemonade; I love lavender lemonade so I bought five bottles and was not disappointed. What will be disappointing is finishing up the remaining bottles I brought home. They said they are working on getting it into some stores, such as Whole Foods (which might make me shop there). I came specifically to pick up some culinary lavender. I haven't ever used it before, but lavender lemonade is a favorite in the summer and I've been thinking about trying to make a simple syrup. Since this area is somewhat known for lavender, it seemed like the best place to get some to stock my kitchen cupboard. What they had here in the shop was picked three days prior by the proprietors themselves. I'll dry it out a bit longer and then debud it so it's ready to go when I feel like trying my hand at something new. Luckily, they also sell simple syrup here so i got that as a backup too--or alternatively I now can use the lavender buds for something else besides just making syrup. When I was telling the owner about my plans and excitement to try using the lavender in some cooking, they were kind enough to sneak in a second bundle of it. They have a partnership with a local confectioner that makes truffles with their lavender. I picked up three to take home--hopefully they'll make it!--and they were beautifully made. I also got a lavender shortbread cookie, which I took home to my significant other and heard it was excellent. This shop is worth a visit on your trip to Door County; even if you're not sure if you'd find something here, you might well be surprised, and it's a great place for gifts. read more

I love the smell of lavender. It reminds me of sleepovers at my grandmother's. We would have cookies and milk before bed then she would tuck me in while leaving the TV on so I could watch the Muppets. Her bedroom always smelled like lavender which is probably why I always slept so well there. Every time I smell lavender I think of her. As soon as we walked into Island Lavender thoughts of my grandma came rolling in. The whole shop smell amazing! There was every type of lavender product you could imagine and those I had never even dreamed of. I had to stop myself from buying one of everything. I did go home with Caramel Lavender popcorn, Lavender Lemonade, Lavender Cream Cheese, Lavender lip gloss, and an assortment of Lavender truffles. I could have spent all day there, but it's probably good we stopped on our way back to the ferry because I probably would have spent quite a bit more. The most unique thing I purchased was the Lavender Chocolates. I chose different flavors and they were all delicious. Just outside the door of the market they had these fun pictures you could pose in and this has to be my favorite pic of Leslie and I. read more

Holy Lavender! Had no idea that you can make so much out of this flower. Makes me think of Bubba from Forrest Gump, listing all this stuff they sell that's made from lavender (instead of shrimp)! This shop smells amazing! Pretty much the whole front half of the building is dedicated to soaps, creams and oils made with lavender. There is also a small bakery that has many lavender infused chocolates and cookies. (The lavender lemon cookies were pretty tasty). And of course you can buy the flowers. The back half of the shop has a lot of art and local flair to browse through. I found it to be an interesting place to stop because it was much different than the hundreds of other shops in Door County. You can only eat so many samples at the orchards... it's good to have unique places place this to spend some time while you are on the peninsula. read more

I LOVE Island Lavender! It is marvelous to see this new LOCAL business established on Washington Island with this lovely shop north of Ephraim. In this first year of COVID-19 precautions, I shopped at 3 business, the grocery, hardware stores & Island Lavender where I bought gifts for all my friends and some for myself, too.

My friends received gifts inc Balsamic Vinegar with lavender, Chipotle with lavender sauce and my favorites, the Lavender/Lemongrass spritz, oil and the Lavender Habanero chocolate truffles (beautifully airbrushed.) Don't miss this wonderful gem in Door County! read more
