As leaves crinkle and the sky turns grey, upstate NY dwellers prepare for another dark and isolated winter. But in Lakeville, Conesus Lake citizens know they can always find a cure for what ails them at a local craft fair — like Simply Positive’s recent event at Willow Creek Venue. There you can peruse homemade goods, artisan accessories, and a certain craft that hits you with its calming scent: lavender sachets by Purple Haze Farm.

Noelle cultivates fields of lavender at her farm on East Lake Road and harvests select crops for her hand-crafted sachets. Stuffed with fresh lavender and buckwheat, these soft little pillows provide soothing aromatherapy through their natural healing fragrance. Pop one in the microwave for 30 seconds for an extra healing boost. It’s enough to make Jimi Hendrix kiss the sky.

Consider booking a farm stay at Purple Haze Farm, too. In the meantime, you can follow Noelle for upcoming craft fairs and events on her Facebook page. And if you ever go for a walk down East Lake Road past Cleary, you might catch her out in the lavender fields, carefully foraging for the next batch of purple treasure.
