How our growing network took shape

Read the full story

2016 - First greenhouse block

We opened our first 2.4-hectare greenhouse in the Riverina region with a single automated irrigation loop and a team of nine agronomists.

2018 - Lavender line expansion

Added a dedicated lavender propagation nursery and doubled our steel-framed growing area to meet rising orders from fragrance manufacturers.

2020 - Cold chain depot

Commissioned a temperature-controlled dispatch hub near the Newell Highway, cutting average transit time to eastern seaboard plants by one day.

2022 - Soil lab and trials

Built an in-house soil analysis lab and started multi-year variety trials for drought-tolerant lavender cultivars suited to southern NSW conditions.

2024 - Contract growing program

Launched a contract growing program for agricultural raw materials, giving food and cosmetic producers a fixed supply calendar across the year.

2025 - Quality assurance upgrade

Standardised batch-level testing for moisture, oil content and purity across every shipment, with digital records shared to each client portal.

The people who keep the supply chain moving

Lesetoilesdeprovence runs on a small core team of agronomists, logistics coordinators and greenhouse operators. We do not outsource cultivation decisions or quality checks. Every batch of industrial-grade lavender that leaves our site has passed through the same hands, from seed selection to the loading dock.

Our people work across three sites in New South Wales. Each member of the team owns a specific part of the operation, from irrigation scheduling to transport booking, so there is always a clear point of contact for corporate manufacturing partners.

Head of Cultivation

Baylee Kassulke II

Baylee manages the greenhouse rotation calendar across all growing blocks. He decides when each row is planted, when irrigation shifts change, and which lavender varieties are ready for harvest. His background is in large-scale horticulture, not boutique farming, which shapes how we plan every season.

Director of Agricultural Research

Dr. Levi Mohr I

Levi leads our soil health program and variety trials. He tests how different lavender strains respond to the automated irrigation and climate systems we use, then recommends which crops will hold up under industrial harvesting. His work keeps our yield consistent across dry and wet seasons.

Logistics and Client Coordination Lead

Ashley Fadel

Ashley coordinates every shipment between our greenhouses and manufacturing plants across Australia. She manages delivery windows, checks load documentation, and keeps clients updated when weather or road conditions shift the schedule. She is the first contact for corporate buyers once an order is confirmed.

Milestones in Building a National Botanical Supply Chain

2011

First greenhouse cluster opens near Lake Lindaborough with twelve automated irrigation bays and a single drying shed.

2014

Steel grey packing line installed, cutting harvest-to-crate time from four days to under thirty hours.

2017

Contract signed with a regional fragrance compounder, our first repeat corporate buyer outside New South Wales.

2020

Second growing site opened on the northern tablelands, adding 40 hectares of dedicated lavender rows.

2023

Quality lab accredited for moisture and oil content testing, letting us certify every batch before dispatch.

2025

Fleet of climate-controlled trailers expanded to cover weekly runs into Victoria and Queensland.

Each stage was a decision about capacity, consistency, or transport. The result is a network built for manufacturing schedules, not spot sales.

Who we are as a supplier

Lesetoilesdeprovence runs industrial-scale lavender cultivation and agricultural raw material supply for corporate manufacturing plants across Australia. Our identity is built on predictable volume, botanical consistency, and logistics that hold up under production deadlines.

01

Grown for manufacturing, not retail

Every row in our greenhouses is planted with a specific industrial buyer in mind. We do not package for shelves or small-batch orders. Our lavender is harvested, dried, and prepared in volumes that match what a production line actually consumes, with quality parameters agreed before the first tray is sown.

02

Built around B2B logistics

Shipping bulk botanical material is different from moving finished goods. Moisture levels, compaction during transport, and delivery windows all matter. Our team plans loads around your intake schedule, not the other way around, so raw material arrives ready for processing rather than needing rework.

03

Steel and soil working together

Automated irrigation and climate control sit alongside hands-on cultivation knowledge. The steel grey infrastructure in our facilities keeps conditions stable across seasons, while our agronomy team watches the crop itself. That combination is what lets us hold a consistent botanical profile from one shipment to the next.

04

Straightforward communication

We keep the tone practical because procurement teams do not have time for vague promises. When we confirm a volume, a grade, or a delivery date, we mean the number as stated. Our account managers come from operations backgrounds, so the conversation stays grounded in what can actually be done.
