Lavender Creek Co. has turned its family farm into a source of comfort for cancer and hospice patients in Monterey County. Ryan and Myriah Hopkins are the husband-and-wife duo behind the lavender farm on Carmel Valley Road. They’re using their home-grown lavender to donate products like hand towels and eye pillows designed to soothe and relax, a much-needed comfort for hospital patients. ... "We are donating our lavender that [the Monterey Quilters Guild sews]into eye pillows and then donate it to our hospital or nonprofits," Hopkins said. "Then those go to patients undergoing cancer treatment and hospice care."
