Create a lavender wreath and swag to decorate your home. Enjoy lavender iced tea, quiche and salad in this workshop. Register at www.lostrivercraft.com
Beth travels to the south of France every year and chooses the most fragrant and beautiful lavender flowers that Provence has to offer. Learn about growing, harvesting, and creating with lavender!

Beth’s Lavender Lemonade Recipe
3 T lavender flowers (organic preferable)
1 cup sugar
2 cups water
2 cups lemon juice (at least 3 lemons)
4 cups water

Mix together lavender flowers, water and sugar and heat until boiling, stirring to dissolve the sugar. Continue on low boil for 8 more minutes with stirring. Cool this down well. Strain out the lavender flowers. Mix the cooled “syrup” with the lemon juice and water. Will be a beautiful pink color.
Enjoy!

Ramps, ramps & more ramps announce that spring has arrived in WV. Native to North America, ramps grow in cool forested areas of Appalachians from the Carolinas to Canada. Their earthy onion, leek and garlic flavor offer the first culinary chance to use local spring vegetables. What makes ramps is not just their flavor but their cultural value. According to David Kamp, the author of The Food Snob’s Dictionary, “The ramp is not a salad green, but it is a green vegetable, and it is the first legitimately green thing that appears from the ground in April, a month that, in terms of farm yield, is otherwise an extension of winter.

Enjoy homemade Ramp, Leek & Watercress Soup and Ramp butter or sample Ramp Pasta Sauce, Ramp Mustard and Ramp BBQ Sauce at the Lost River General Store this weekend!
