Our Story
It all started with a single row of lavender and a whole lotta heart.
Weβre Jason and Kari Chapmanβtwo dreamers with dirt under our nails and hope in our boots. After 30 years of service in the U.S. Marine Corps, Jason traded combat boots for coveralls, and Kari, a registered nurse with a love for all things herbal, began planting seeds of a new kind of healing. Together, we founded Homestead Growers by J&K, LLC and developed the farm you now know as Homestead Lavender Farm, tucked right into the bowl of Morrison, Tennesseeβwhere the weatherβs wild, but the lavender still thrives.
What began as a humble patch of purple in 2021 has grown into 14 blooming fields, rows of rosemary, and a whole line of handcrafted productsβfrom essential oils and soaps to soothing sprays and sweet treats. We grow, harvest, and distill right here on the farm, because we believe the best things come straight from the source. No shortcuts. No fluff. Just farm-grown goodness with a purpose.
Weβre building something more than a businessβweβre creating a place of peace, connection, and honest-to-goodness joy. Whether you're here for a tour, a bundle of calm in a bottle, or just a breath of lavender-scented air, welcome. Weβre glad you found us.
Because around here, itβs not just about what we growβitβs about what we grow into.
