As Sandie Smoak walks down the curvy brick pathway, which runs alongside her pink house in Dixie, she is followed by her two kittens named Smith and Wesson. Smoak is wearing a straw hat, a striped apron, and carrying a wicker basket with a pair of scissors in it. They are heading to a field of purple to cut some fresh lavender. It’s just another day at Dixie Farms Lavender.
This family farm sells a wide collection of items, from lavender mint shampoo bars to lavender vanilla shortbread cookies, which all contain the buds of their north Louisiana lavender.
