Essential Oil Distilling

From the Homestead Fair archive, originally published 2015-11-21.

Every year we distill our own peppermint oil and give it to our ice cream makers to turn into delicious homemade Peppermint Ice Cream.

We have five big batches ready to go for this year’s Fair, and it will be available at the distilling booth. Please come by and get some!

We’ve also prepared our Rosemary-Lavender hand cream, and a big batch of handmade Lemon-Spearmint Shower/Shampoo bars, all containing essential oils that we distilled this year.

We look forward to seeing you at the Distilling Booth at the Fair!
