Blue Hill Lavender Farm (Blue Hill prava sivka) is an award-winning, certified-organic agritourism estate, boutique nursery, and natural distillery located on a hillside in Topolšica, within the Šoštanj municipality of northern Slovenia. Founded in 2015 by a passionate young eco-conscious couple, Viktorija and Alen, this sustainable small business has grown from a handful of experimental shrubs into a thriving, high-altitude botanical haven. Designed for flower travelers, photography enthusiasts, and zero-waste wellness seekers, the boutique estate ensures premium quality by performing all field management entirely by hand, showcasing how authentic, traditional methods create world-class aromatherapy.
