Purple Lines Project

We are very excited to present our new project – Vessel Purple Lines Project.

This is a unique opportunity for you to get involved with the harvest of a Lavender field in Nea Tedenos (just outside Thessaloniki, Greece) and to partcipate in the process of distillation of your very own lavender essential oil!

You could be anywhere in the world and 'do' it all from the comfort of your home or you could visit us in person for the distillation of the magical drops of  the essential oil. Whichever way you select we guarantee you will receive your essential oil at the end of this process.

Please see below for more details. We hope you will join us!

The lavender field that selected for this project is located at Nea Tenedos, a village just outside  the city of Thessaloniki. This year we will be harvesting and distilling from this field for a very first time!  For those more botanically minded – the lavender species grown in this field is Lavandula angustifolia subs. Sevtopolis.

The main idea of this project is that every person receives the oil distilled from a specific number of plants.

Once you select your package, your plants will be marked out accordingly and from that moment onwards, the anual production of the oil from these plants is yours!! Thus, you become a real farmer and together with us you face all the farming challenges, such as weather conditions and selecting the most optimal timing of the harvest as well as the distillation art in order to achieve the best yield. But do not worry - we  guarantee a quantity for each package! Even with zero yield you will take your precious Lavander drops home! We won't let you to be disappointed!

So, here are the packages. Let's see what suits you best!

We have created 3 packages for you to choose from..
