What a wonderful weekend jaunt! The owner generally offers a cold lavender lemonade which is…read moredelicious. She also had freshly made lavender shortbread slices...mmmmmm good. The gift offers a great selection of both lavender infused skin care products as well as cooking/baking foods, such as the lavender syrup or her freshly made lavender lemon curd. She also has hand-crafted lavender scented candles, eye pillows, and actual freshly cut lavender. For planning purposes, you can easily spend an hour or more here or you could do a quick stop within about 20 minutes. She is open until the end of July at the actual farm....so make it plan to visit before the end of the month!

This weekend escape was just what was needed! The fun things that Ashland and the surrounding area offers was topped off with everything that her private retreat brings... a beautiful country setting, a quiet comfy room that feels like a home, special goodies that fill out the coffee bar, a spa for ultimate relaxing AND ice cream! Another trip is definitely in our future!! AMAZING!

I thoroughly enjoyed myself on all occasions: Applinger is a magic place right off I-5 with beautiful scenery, tranquil setting, and of course Bubba the horse (for whom they gave me carrots to share w/him both ways). The Orchard Suite is beautiful and comfortable, and Lisa does all that she can to make it memorable. I really don't even have any little complaints, except that I can't just check out of my busy life and stay there. Can heartily recommend and will certainly return myself - can't wait.

I thought I had to wait till my next trip to freezing Pennsylvania Amish country to enjoy the best for-purchase eggnog I've ever had. The spouse brought home a bottle of Alexandre Family Farms Homegrown Eggnog from Whole Foods. It was a backup plan I guess, in case the homemade version I attempted didn't turn out favorably. My concoction came out okay, but was a bit too thick and mealy. I lessened the sugar by half which still gave a good sweetness. Still being in the eggnog mood, I poured a glass of AFF's to try. Wow, yum!? Talk about the perfect consistency and flavor profile, rich in spices and not overly sweet. I did mix in 2% milk to lessen the sweetness even more, and to stretch the batch. The ingredients are all natural which is the biggest positive. OVERALL: Definitely buying this next season and will never attempt a homemade version again!

I haven't been here for years and years, but when I was passing by, I decided to stop in. It's a…read moregreat place to visit. It's basically a drive-through zoo. A lot of of the animals roam free, but then some of them like the elephants, giraffes, big cats, etc. are in enclosures. But they do have a good amount of room in their enclosures. This place is an accredited zoo, so they have standards that they have to follow. Some of the animals were a bit farther away, some come right up to your car. Especially in the area where you are allowed to feed the animals. I didn't buy a feed cup, but quite a few of them were still walking up to my car,, hoping that I had food. Sorry guys... it's just so much fun seeing the animals up close. Normal drive-through time is an hour to an hour and a half, but depending on how many times you stop, and how many cars are in the park, it could definitely be more. It's all up to you. If there are a lot of cars stopped for a specific animal, you can take a picture, and then go around the cars that are stopped. There's plenty of room to do so. In addition to the drive-through, they also have Safari village, which has more animals, a train ride, animal shows, restaurants, and snack bars, even a playground for the kids. It was $29.95 for adults, less for kids and seniors. If you are military/veterans/1st responder, you get the best discount. Free! I thought that was very generous of them. Thanks for the great visit. I will be back the next time I'm passing through.

Lately she's become a notable charcuterie artist, and her creations are composed of beautiful, delicious foods from all around the world, complemented with hand made breads and condiments. Try the authentic Sicilian style pizzas-- they are fabulous--crispy crust, savory ingredients, home made sauce, fire roasted perfection! HBC is my go-to place to entertain out of town guests, or host a birthday party or event. It's a sweet venue that includes a covered dining area, grassy play space, large fire pit, koi pond, veggie garden and abundant flowers everywhere, full bar, Air BNB options... and it's backed by a fun creek that is perfect on a hot summer day. Even if it takes a few minutes to get here from where you are, it is totally worth the drive out. Shawna and her family continue to add to their dream a bit more each year, so there's always something new at the farm!

They have a HUGE selection of Shade trees, fruit trees, herbs, flowers, you name it! It was like walking into Gardeners' paradise! Spring and summer is when they have the most options, obviously. I purchased 4 fruit trees from them with the guidance of a gentleman (really wish I could remember his name). I wanted fruit trees but had no idea where to even start lol Behold! His patience and ability to do a fastest course on fruit-bearing trees ever! Growing, pruning, pollination, all the needs & wants my trees could ever have! Even though I planted the poor trees mid-summer and really late in the season, they grew and took off like crazy! I wanted to wait to post a review until I saw how the plants did (will update with pictures once they bear fruit)

I purchased four expensive trees from this nursery. Shortly after planting, one of the trees began…read moreshowing signs of significant stress, while the other three - planted in the same area and under the same conditions - continued to thrive. I contacted the nursery for guidance and assistance but did not receive a response for more than two weeks. When they finally replied, I was told they do not guarantee their plants. No effort was made to inspect the tree, discuss possible solutions, or offer any accommodation. Instead, the response focused on suggesting that the issue was the result of something I had done. I understand that plants can be unpredictable and that not every issue is covered by a guarantee. However, I was disappointed by both the lack of responsiveness and the unwillingness to work with me toward a resolution. As a result, I will not be doing business with this nursery again. Based on my experience, customers should not expect much support once the sale has been completed.
