Inspired by the land, fueled by family
Who we are
We’re Andrew and Giuseppa Nadrowski — the husband and wife duo behind G’s Family Farm.
In 2022, we had a crazy idea — what if we transformed a few empty fields on a former Christmas tree farm into rows of organic lavender.
The soil was perfect as was the climate. We ordered 1,500 Phenomenal lavender (lavandula x intermedia) plugs to plant the following spring.
We were hooked. The next year, we said, “why not” and decided to plant about 3,500 more — to the dismay of our two children who helped plant us each.
Today, we have over 5,000 plants — all of which we grow using only all natural and organic practices ensuring that future generations can enjoy the land, too.
As a family, we hand harvest each plant to bring and then steam distill the buds to create our pure essential oil and hydrosol — each of which forms the foundation of our luxurious, artisan products that we hand craft ourselves in small batches using only the highest quality ingredients.
In the coming years, we hope to expand the farm introducing Christmas trees again, a nursery, workshops, and more.
The man behind the “G”
There’s more to our story…
G’s Family Farm is located in South Boardman, a small town about 30 minutes east of downtown Traverse City. It previously belonged to my late grandfather, Giuseppe “Joe” Lucido. A Sicilian immigrant, our grandfather worked for decades growing his farm, slowly purchasing parcel by parcel, meticulously hand planting thousands of trees to create his beloved, namesake Lucido’s Quality Family Christmas Tree farm.
The farm not only holds countless, cherished family memories of time spent with he and my grandmother, Maria, but it is also a representation of who our grandfather was — a man known for his endless generosity, an unparalleled work-ethic, and a selfless love for his family and the land.
We hope to not only continue his legacy, but honor it.
