When we think of "typical" Michigan-grown crops, it's easy to think cherries, blueberries, or corn.
But there's one corner of Michigan that is perfect for growing this: lavender.
Linda Longworth owns Lavender Hill Farms in Boyne City. It's the biggest commercial lavender farm in Michigan.
Longworth says they have about 13,000 lavender plants on her farm, and they are now right in the middle of the harvest season.
Longworth also works with local craftsmen and outside companies, so that her lavender can be turned into various products such as soap, lavender shortbread cookies, lavender vodka and beer.
