Her customers say one of the ways they enjoy the honey is in baking scones. They use the honey in the batter for the scones and then drizzle the baked scones with a little more honey and add a sprinkle of lavender blossoms. Tribble has an even easier way to use the honey — as a hot tea. She puts a little lavender honey in a cup of warm water and that’s it. “No tea bag. Nothing else. It’s just delicious.”

Tribble Farms is now in its third year of participating in Roswell Lavender Festival. You’ll find them there with the more than 70 vendors of soap, lotions, lavender pound cake, lavender lemonade and most anything else you can think of that could be made of or decorated with lavender, including lavender plants for you to try growing at home.

The 7th annual Roswell Lavender Festival will be held on Saturday, June 10, from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. at Barrington Hall in Roswell. Call 770-640-3855 for more information.
