About Lavyn
Lavyn is a young aromatic-herb farm on the road between La Tortuga and Santillán, about 300 meters past Granjas Residenciales outside Tequisquiapan. Its team, which includes chemists and agronomists, took over a bare plot in January 2019 and has since planted more than 3,000 aromatic plants, among them lavender, rosemary, verbena and eucalyptus, plus 850 shrubs grown as green walls and about 50 shade trees such as jacarandas and ash.
The farm opens Friday to Sunday from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Guided walks leave on the hour from 10 to 4 and take about an hour. They cover the fields and the greenhouse, explain how the plants are propagated and distilled, and usually finish with a taste of lavender and verbena tea. Individuals and families can simply show up; groups of 10 or more should call first.
For a closer look, the two-hour distillation workshop starts at noon. You help run a steam distillation in a copper still and take home 60 ml of floral water; children under 15 join with an adult. The other booked experience is a picnic under shade cloth beside the herb beds, with wine, goat and cow cheeses, cold cuts, fruit and bread. Both need a reservation with a 50% deposit. Schools, companies and tour groups can also arrange visits on Wednesdays or Thursdays.
The farm shop sells what Lavyn makes from its harvest: rosemary shampoo, handmade soap, creams, and lavender and verbena teas, built on its own essential oils and floral waters.
