We offer steam distillation services for other farms and growers in the region. You bring us your plant material. We run it through our distillation equipment and return both your essential oil and your hydrosol.
We have worked with lavender since the beginning, but our still handles a broad range of botanicals: herbs, flowers, and conifers included. If you are growing something and want to know whether we can distill it, reach out and ask. We are happy to talk through the process.
You leave with your oil. You leave with your hydrosol. Nothing goes to waste.
To inquire about distillation services, contact us at hello@ultravioletlavenderfarm.com with information about your plant material, estimated volume, and timeline.

Output One
Essential Oil
Steam distillation separates the essential oil from the plant material. What you get back is concentrated, pure essential oil from your own crop, with your own farm's character. No blending with outside material. Your plants, your oil.
Yield varies by plant material, harvest timing, and moisture content. We can walk you through realistic expectations for your specific botanical before you book.
Output Two
Hydrosol
Hydrosol is the aromatic water produced during steam distillation. It carries a lighter, softer version of the plant's scent and has its own uses in skin care, linen sprays, and culinary applications depending on the botanical.
We return all hydrosol produced during your distillation run. It is a byproduct that is too useful to discard, and it belongs to you.
