On the day we had an interview with Noémi, the weather was very good. We had a camera with us and wanted to shoot a video. But, spontaneously she asked us, "I have to bury lavender plants in the big field. Could you help me?" 

We agreed and got the chance to experience her work first hand. We turned the camera on, of course.

For several years now, she has been growing lavender on rented land, producing oils, soap, syrups and sachets after harvesting. How much work is behind these products! For five hours we dug up seedlings behind the house, drove into the field, and dug them back in. Two days later we repeated the whole process again. Yes, it was exhausting, but it felt all the more good to be then served a carrot-potato soup and good bread at Noémi's in the late afternoon. 

Here's the video:
