An international design business, a lavender farm, a light filled shop, flower meadows and gardens an apple orchard a newly built greenhouse. These define the life that entrepreneur Lisa Fontanarosa has built in an old adobe compound.

A trip to Sicily  as a young girl, sparked a love of international travel, design, and fashion.

I spent my early career revolving around the New York fashion scene, working at Conde Nast magazines such as Vogue

 It was a window dressing job for the Henri Bendel store’s “Street of Shops” that solidified her love of interior design. This led, ultimately, to an international design career and the founding of Lisa Fontanarosa Collections in 1997.  Lisa Fontanarosa Collections’ success means she has one foot in France, whose culture and lifestyle for which she has a particular fondness. As it evolves, Fontanarosa envisions Jo’s Farm as the palette for her creations: a living example of her deep and worldly mix of passions where people can discover unique décor, as well as lavender and flowers~Table Magazine
