Young farmer and entrepreneur, Barış Özkan from Kayaköy, bought a couple of hundred lavender plants to try out 3 years ago. It seems the conditions are perfect up there although it’s not a crop seen locally. Rapid drainage, alkaline soil, plenty of light, heat, and excellent air circulation are required and I know it’s produced successfully on the Cesme peinsular and in Isparta. I not heard anything since and I wonder if he was successful?
