Lion Springs Lavender Farm is the home of Carmel Caramels. We make delicious, mouth-watering salted lavender honey caramels right here in our permitted home kitchen at the farmhouse. We use all fresh ingredients including a small touch of our homegrown organic culinary lavender. We hope you’ll love Carmel Caramels as much as we do. A portion of our proceeds go towards the California Mountain Lion Foundation.

…sometimes Ziggy, the lavender Husky, is at the farmers market too.

Our lavender is certified organic by MCCO (Monterey County Certified Organic). We grow lavender using “green”, sustainable, organic practices to help keep the environment healthy for our neighbors, friends, families, guests, customers, and local wildlife. Our bees help to pollinate the neighboring vineyards for our fellow farmers.

Carmel Caramels come in glass bee hive shaped jars, and lovely purple sachets that make great gifts! Carmel Caramels are made in a permitted “home kitchen” thru the Monterey County Health Department. (Sometimes, our jars shapes vary according to what we can order on line) We also use biodegradable candy wrappers (instead of plastic) because it’s better for the environment.

We wish to use a portion of profits to go to the Mountain Lion Foundation to help save the endangered California Mountain Lions. Therefore, when you purchase our products, we can help save mountain lions together one carmel at a time!💜
