Fantastic lavender farm experience starting with the free visit and tour of the lavender growing process and products. Great farm shop as well to support local. Very family friendly activity for a hour or two in Sequim, WA
What a great family farm to visit and learn about lavender from soup to nuts! We chose this farm primarily for being rated high on dog friendliness and so glad we did as the family/staff alone was so warm, welcoming and nice! We arrived right in time for a free tour which was SO interesting (do it, worth it) and Rob was our guide and had a great sense of humor. I am obsessed with lavender so it was fun learning about the farming and production process. Beware of that gift shop though as they have tons of amazing and unique products that are hard to resist (so I didn't). We capped off our visit with a lavender lemonade that was fantastic. Thanks for having us B&B!
Pros: very educational about english vs french lavender. Another Beautiful farm, worth checking them all out if you are visiting Sequim. Good spread of lavender products as well as ice cream.
A visit to B&B Family Farm was a delightful highlight of our trip to Olympic National Park. We highly recommended joining the free tour, which was both fun and incredibly informative. Our guide was very knowledgeable, sharing details about the different types of lavender, the farm's history, and their process for harvesting and extracting the essential oil. The farm shop was nice, offering products like lavender ice cream, oils, sachets, local paintings, and more. Overall, it was a very nice addition and well worth your time!
After a long day of travel, we were starting to get cranky, but needed to kill some time due to an unexpectedly delayed check-in time at our Airbnb. My Yelp research led me to the B & B Family Lavender Farm page and we decided to give it a shot. We arrived after 4 p.m. on a Wednesday and were the only guests on site. Despite the late hour and unplanned visit, Noah, one of the staff members, stopped what he was doing and gave us a free private tour. We had fun learning about lavender farming and the history of Sequim. We also enjoyed looking at the multitude of lavender-themed items in the farm's store. After our visit to Bruce and Bonnie's, we returned to our vehicle in much better spirits with some lavender chocolate and lavender-infused sugar from The Shoppe to sweeten the rest of our trip.
We visited in August and what a lovely tour we had! Inside as well as outside, even though it was late in the season. Since I was flying home I could only get a 2 ounce container of their sweet and soothing lotion. Used it up to the last drop! So I ordered a bigger dose online, got it promptly, and now I can smooth my way to a peaceful scent. Worth every penny, including shipping. Thanks B&B!
If you only visit one lavender farm during lavender season, visit this one. The owner is nice and gave us a nice overview of the area, explaining the difference between French and English lavender. The lavender fields are nicely labeled with the type of lavender as well. The gift shop has so many specialty with lavender from the farm, and the owner even demonstrated the equipment used to extract lavender to make their products (like essential oils, lavender cleaning products, etc are made). They have an area where they hang bushels and bushels of lavender, and you can buy dried or freshly picked lavender, but the best experience is going to the u-pick areas and cutting your own lavender (there's a lot of happy honeybees buzzing here but they are friendly).
I stopped by the farm during the lavender festival. The staff and owner were all exceptionally nice and knowledgeable. The tour was great! The fields smelled amazing.
We stopped by this family-owned farm after visiting the Dungeness National Wildlife Refuge. I didn't know that lavender was so popular in Sequim and that there was a large number of lavender farms in the area but you learn new things everyday. Sequim is a great place to grow lavender because its microclimate is ideal; it doesn't rain much (15 inches per year) but still has the PNW climate of not-too-cold and not-too-hot. We walked into the shop where you can buy anything from essential oils, vegan lavender ice cream, to cookbooks utilizing lavender. We got a free tour from one of the workers who talked through the process of growing and picking lavender, hanging it up to dry, and processing it to distill into essential oils and food-ready items. The worker also told us about the annual lavender festival in July that gets super busy because people come from all over the state. We got to learn a lot about lavender, such as the fact that lavender lasts 10-15 years and all you need to do to get its aroma is give it a pinch. This was a super cool learning experience!
I only came here because I saw a sign advertisement on the highway. I'm so glad I decided to stop! My favorite color is purple. I loved being surrounded by that color. I was shocked and impressed by how many bees were working hard on pollenating the flowers. You can literally hear the buzz! The gift shop has every type of product made with lavender you could hope for. I highly recommend the lavender ice cream. I enjoyed eating the ice cream while walking the fields. The only thing that would have made this visit and experience better would have been if I had more time to stay for a tour of the farm and learn more about lavender. Tours are on the hour and 30 min. A last minute stop on the way out of town and it did not disappoint!
Lavender heaven. Definitely set aside 20 minutes to do a tour and see how they harvest lavender, learn about the different types, and the history of the place. It's free! Noah was a great host. We came to enjoy the gorgeous sunshine on our way back to Seattle and it didn't disappoint. The vegan lavender ice cream and lemon+lavender lemonade was delicious. Lots of lavender-themed gifts as well in the gift shop.
We were in the area prior to the lavender being "in season". We took the tour and it was very informative. It was interesting grow, harvest and process lavender for various uses. The whole staff was friendly and we purchased a few products. We hope to come back when the lavender is blooming.
Such a fun spot to check out while on the way to Olympic National Farm. The employees were so helpful and kind. They offered us a free 15 minute tour where we were able to learn the process of how they pick the lavender and how certain products are made. The tour was educational and fun! We got to stick our hand in a Costco size bin full of dried lavender and got to learn the difference between French and English lavender. A good trick they taught, French lavender is usually turned into "fragrances" (remember F for F) and English lavender is for "edible" items (E for E). They have an abundance of lavender products in their gift shop. From soap, oil, dried lavender, to even lavender lemonade. All reasonable priced too. They also sell lavender plants. Even though it wasn't lavender season, I'm glad they are still open to the public. Probably one of the best things I did during my trip to Washington!
Beautiful, peaceful, and so relaxing! I stopped by B & B Family Lavender Farm during a road trip to Sequim, and it was one of the highlights of the trip. The fields of deep purple lavender were in full bloom, and the rustic barn backdrop makes for amazing photos! The heavenly scent hits you the moment you step out of the car--it instantly puts you in a relaxed mood. Summer is definitely the prime time to visit and catch the peak bloom. If you're anywhere near Sequim, this place is a must-visit! read more
I believe this is the largest lavender farm in Sequim? Definitely worth a visit! Admission is free, and during peak season, they offer guided tour every 30 mins. We learnt a lot about lavender farming and how different products are processed. The entire farm smelled incredible. Be sure to stop by the farm shop, they have a great selection of lavender products and gift! read more

Precious family owned farm in Sequim, Wa! The gift shop selections were wonderful, service friendly, and lavender gorgeous and fragrant in full bloom! Definitely try the ice cream while you're there. This is worth the stop to visit! read more
Great place to stop and learn about lavender farms. They give free 15-min educational tour on lavender production and harvest. The staff are friendly and professional. It was an amazing experience - a great end from our week-ling trip. Their gift shop boasts a variety of options where their own lavender was used in making the products. Thank you B&B Farms. read more

At 12 acres, this is currently the largest lavender farm in Sequim that is open to the public! You can freely roam the fields which are well-maintained and labeled with the names of each lavender species. I had no idea how many varieties there were! The lovely fields were made up of buds that ranged between light purples, deep purples and white. Be sure to go on one of their tours which run every 30 minutes. Our guide was so knowledgeable of all things lavender. We learned how to properly care for the plants, why Sequim provides optimal conditions for growing and which type is edible. She led us into the barn (it's 100 years old!) and informed us about how the lavender is dried and processed. We also got insight into the distilling of essential oils. This was a very educational 20-minute tour and then we went off to frolic in the fields. The staff was very kind, happy to answer guests' questions and welcomed everyone to explore the property. The lavender is split into a few different patches so you can spread out when taking photos and easily avoid capturing anyone in the background. They also lay black tarp over the dirt, so it wasn't dusty and you can sit in the middle of the fields without worrying about getting your clothes dirty. Finally, don't forget to browse their shop! They offer a variety of items including soaps, pillows, art, food and more. If you're passing through Sequim, definitely put B & B Family Farm on your list! Note: Visited during the week of July 11th. read more

Loved this place a ton !! It is a multigenerational farm with a free tour and a cute gift shop . The tour was led by Zion who explained to us all things lavender ( growth, varieties , processing etc ) . We got to sniff and touch various kinds of lavender and this was a fun experience. The gift shop had some lavender ice-cream and lemonade in addition to non perishable merchandise such as body care and home care items , eye pillows , dried flowers etc . The ice-cream was yummy and lavender forward . All and all I loved this place so much that I got little gifts for family ! read more
Honestly I was skeptical of this farm having such high reviews when it's amongst like 50 other lavender farms. But I trusted the reviews and came to check it out and got to find out for myself why it's so amazing. Why it's so great: - FREE Lavender Farm Tour. Honestly, where else can you get that?? The owner was so very thorough with the explanation of the lavender growing and processing process. I learned so much. I love that we got to see inside the barn and get to know behind the scene process of all that happens on the farm. It really helped me understand lavender so much better and gave me a greater appreciation of lavender. I love their dedication to increasing lavender education. - The farm is HUGE and vast. When you drive up to it, you can immediately tell it's much bigger than the other little ones you've driven past on the road. There are so many different varieties of lavender grown here (I think she said 20+?). You can see all the different looking ones and they are all in different stages. - Beautiful pictures can be taken here. I came here just a few days ago and though most Lavender have been harvested, there was one more patch still beautifully purple. They let you walk through the fields (so many places don't or they charge you for it) and take pictures and harvest your own lavender. I got gorgeous photos here - like ones you see in magazines and I was so thrilled. You can get lost of lavender goodies here in the store. From artwork to books to lotions to essential oils and everything in between. I tried out their Frankie & Jo's lavender ice cream and it was Delicious!! I will def. think of them the next time I have Frankie & Jo's. Thank you for a fantastic lavender farm experience! read more
Very friendly staff person greeted us from the gift shop entrance the second we stepped out of my car. She was socially distancing so she politely yelled to say hello, welcome, tell us about their gift being sold and ask if we needed anything. We strolled around the farm with a self-tour. This one seemed to be the nicest one we visited while in Sequim this summer. read more
There are numerous lavender farms in the area, but I chose B&B based on how highly my host at the inn spoke of the family that owns this farm. I got to meet the owner and his daughter and my host was so right! They were incredibly friendly, warm and welcoming. Not to mention they were a fount of knowledge!! Plenty of parking in the field next to the shop. I made it just in time for the start of the next guided tour of the farm and it's workings. It was a quick tour, about 15 minutes long (and free!) and so worth it! We learned all about the life cycle of the lavender plants and saw the machinery they use in action! Very cool! They are doing a great job with the Covid safety measures. Everyone wore masks/shields but you could take them off in the fields bc it's all so spread out. They had portapottys available as well as lots of hand sanitizer. They have a sample of all their products set up outside. They have all their products listed on a laminated menu and erasable pens so you just circle what you want and they fill your order. I got some essential oil and it smells fantastic! It has been helping me relax at bedtime so much more than any others I've ever had. I got some tea, jam, bath bombs and lotion...all excellent so far! I highly recommend you visit this farm! The tour was fascinating, the owners and family are so warm and fun and the products are lovely! Can't go wrong! read more

I enjoyed my visit to B & B Family Farm. The air was filled with the scent of lavenders. They had a large field of lavenders that you could check out. They also had a small shop that sold lavender- everything (lavender lotion, lavender after shave, lavender ice cream, lavender sleep masks, lavender honey, and so much more). I stocked up on all my lavender goodies of the year for myself and friends. There's also a short and free tour where they talk about the farm and show how they make some of the things sold at the farm. Would highly recommend stopping by! read more

B&B Family Farm is a must-visit in Sequim. I visited during phase 2 of COVID-19 in June 2020. Bruce and Bonnie (the B&B in the name of the farm) were there working with masks and good social distancing practices to ensure people stayed safe. You could view samples out front and then go to the ordering window to place the order for your lavender products with minimal contact. They even had a touchless payment system! They give tours every 15 minutes, so I got to learn about the different lavender plants, how the products are made, and visit the production barn. They encouraged visitors to explore the lavender fields and take pictures and encouraged us to visit other lavender farms since each farm offers something a little different. Their differentiator was the barn and free 10-minute tour, which was super interesting. read more

Beautiful lavender farm with mountain backdrop! Advertised as the largest lavender farm in the area, I recommend you make visit on your trip to the Olympic Peninsula. You can pick your own lavender bundle, which we did not do, or just take in the rows and rows of a variety of lavender plants. The farm offers a free tour every half hour which last about 20 minutes. The tour was fun and informative and showed how the lavender is processed. I learned a lot! There is also a cute shop selling their lavender products made on-site. I highly recommend grabbing some lavender ice cream to enjoy while perusing the fields. read more

If you are lucky enough to find yourself in this beautiful part of the country, don't make the rookie mistake I made. Sequim, WA is pronounced "Squim" not "See-quim"! Luckily, my local friend had prepared me. Sequim is also the Lavender Capital of North America. Due to a rain shadow created by the Olympic Mountains, it's dry enough here to make the conditions perfect for growing lavender so there are all kinds of lavender farms around. We felt like B & B was pretty fantastic though. I was the lone female in a car with my husband and three teenage boys. Stopping at a lavender field to do a tour and see their gift shop was a hard sell, but I stood my ground. Here's the thing about B & B: they make it worth your time. Zion is one of the owners. When we stepped into the gift shop to inquire about the free tour, he emerged from behind a curtain. He offered to give us our own tour, sparing us from joining the larger (elderly) group outside. The tour is very informative and interesting. And for those of you concerned about this, brief: maybe 15 minutes. You are then free to cut your own lavender, walk in the fields, or shop in the store. I bought their Funky Feet cream, which is great! If I recall, the only bathrooms were port-a-potties though so maybe use the facilities elsewhere. Zion and his family are so welcoming and kind! We loved their beautiful farm in SQUIM! (Sequim) Best time to visit is late June/July to see the blooms, FYI. read more
