MEET THE MAKERS
We are Jerry and Holly McCabe, and Sleepy Bees is our love story in more ways than one. We fell in love with lavender at our own wedding, and when life gave us an acreage in Nebraska and a choice to make, we chose to build something of our own. So we planted lavender, learned everything we could, and have been growing ever since. Every product we make is crafted right here on our little farm — grown naturally, harvested by hand, and made in small batches with ingredients we are proud of. We also tend five honeybee hives because we believe in protecting the pollinators that make all of this possible. It has been a rollercoaster ride and we would not trade a single moment of it. We are getting better every year, and we are so glad you are here for the journey.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is your lavender organic?
While we don’t use any pesticides or herbicides on our farm, we are surrounded by corn and soybean fields, so we cannot be certified organic due to the possibility of drift.
Why is it called Sleepy Bees?
When we were just starting out we heard a story about a little girl and her grandmother out picking flowers. The little girl noticed the bees all over the lavender weren't moving.. Alarmed,, she asked, "Grandma why are the bees dead?" Her grandma said, "Oh honey, those bees aren't dead, they are just sleeping. "
We thought it was a wonderful story, and that first year at harvest found it was absolutely true. We constantly have to swish and shoo the sleeping bees off the lavender!
Can we visit your farm?
We do events throughout the spring, summer, and fall at the farm. We do not currently have a shop that is open full time. Please check out our calendar of events here: Calendar , or check our social media for dates/times that the farm is open.
Can you really eat lavender?
Yes! Lavender is an herb in the same family as rosemary. It has a lovely floral taste, and compliments many sweet and savory dishes. All of the lavender we grow at Sleepy Bees Lavender Farm is culinary. Try grinding the buds and adding a teaspoon to your chocolate chip cookies, banana bread, lemon bars, and favorite spice rubs. Lavender also makes a fabulous latte!
Is lavender hard to grow? What variety do you grow?
Lavender is a Mediterranean plant, and prefers dry, rocky soil, and lots of sun. Here in SE Nebraska, we have clay soil that retains water, so we have amended our soil and added lime gravel to our rows. The biggest mistake when growing lavender is over watering, it is a very drought tolerant plant and hates to have "wet feet". The variety we grow is called Phenomenal, and it was developed for more humid areas with colder winters.
