Ruthven Plantation, Inc. produces a variety of premium natural products featuring home-grown recipes and artisan botanical fragrances. The company is located amidst the bucolic countryside of Orange County, North Carolina. It was founded and is operated by Laura Ruffin, a NC native who grew up in historic Hillsborough. Choosing to leave behind the frenzied lifestyle of a successful high-technology career, she has returned to her beloved hometown to raise her daughter on good old-fashioned family values and to cultivate her budding craft business. Ruthven Plantation provides a productive outlet for many creative interests including gardening, photography, and fine fragrances, as well as the opportunity to entertain curiosity about various subjects such as the sciences, history and philosophy. Why the keen interest in "botanicals", i.e., herbs, flowers and spices? In short, because they make people feel better. They are positive, they are beautiful, they usually smell nice, and flowers in particular just make people smile. Throughout history, botanicals have been useful in a wide variety of ways... they have helped celebrate special events, recognize accomplishments, console the greiving, add flavor to culinary creations, enhance personal beauty, calm various ailments, express love and affection... In a world so full of negativity, Laura chooses to believe that it's possible to make a positive difference in people's lives... with botanicals. Ruthven (pronounced "riven", almost like "river") is the name of a Scottish Clan and the Ruthven family that first settled in Colonial America... and yes, that's Laura’s ancestry.
