Mission: To encourage Lavender Farming in Ohio and to show our guests that Lavender is as much a culture as it is a wonderful, generous and versatile herb.

The 2008 Ohio Lavender Festival will be held at DayBreak Lavender Farm, a family-owned lavender and herb farm in Streetsboro, Ohio, located between Cleveland and Akron, just minutes away from Cuyahoga Valley National Park.

Celebrating The Summer Solstice June 21, 2008
Summer Solstice, sometimes known as Midsummer, Litha, or St. John's Day, occurs in the middle of June. It is a celebration of the longest day of the year and the beginning of Summer. It has been a grand tribal gathering time since ancient times. The Goddess manifests as Mother Earth and the God as the Sun King. Colors are Yellow, Green, and Blue. It is a festival of community sharing and planetary service.

We'll be celebrating the Solstice time. We'll keep a Sacred Fire Ring burning throughout the day. We encourage all to make a pledge to Mother Earth of something that you will do to improve the environment and then begin carrying it out. Have a magical gift exchange with friends. Exchange songs, chants, and stories around the fire. And maybe even do a little dancing to drums around the blazing bonfire.

With their annual Lavender harvest, DayBreak co-founders Jody Byrne and Michael Slyker create and sell a wide variety of unique herbal and botanical soaps and toiletries all stemming from a very special love for lavender.
