Regina Hamlett and her family live on their farm in Pinckney, MI (Dexter Township). Her and husband, Marty Hamlett, operate their farm while also working jobs to sustain their family. 3 of the 5 kids still live at home, with 2 of the 3 slotted to move out within the next year. Regina’s parents also live on the farm and are retired but active grandparents!

Regina spent over 30 years in the education and child development field starting as a teacher, a director of private schools, and finally becoming an Administrator at Ann Arbor public schools. In 2020, she was laid off and decided that her mom’s dream of growing lavender with the family should be fulfilled.

The family and lots of friends worked the field and planted hundreds of plants, which have now reached full maturity and are producing beautiful flowers twice a year.

Since then, the lavender farm has grown to be a place of education, relaxation, and has the cutest lavender shed where Regina makes the bath and body products plus crafts that they sell at the farm.

The farm also has 55 healthy and happy hens that lay eggs, 1 happy rooster, and 1 duck with a crooked leg that loves to swim in her kiddie pool.
