If you're a hands on crafter but aren't crazy about your stereotypical boring local county fairs then take a stroll through the majestic , soothing fields of this inviting lavender farm. There are a number of budget friendly adult activities from making a lavender heart wreath ($5.00) , tye-dying a scarf ($10.00) or picking lavender straight out of the field this quiet yet relaxing environment was worth the hour drive. You could also paint on a canvas in the fields or on stones at one of the vendors.
Sadly, the pick your own option was not available (due to the harmful winter weather ) but you could purchase small edible bundles for just $9.00 or long stemmed (typically used for decorating) for $10.00. Although the festival held today was small; I learned a lot about lavender & what I've been doing wrong when planting & crafting with my own.
With over 3,000 plants; this property offered more varieties of lavender than I've seen at other farms. Each was marked with an adorable wooden plaque that stated the origin, qualities & uses of each type. But besides the beautiful purple fields, this farm is all about being environmentally friendly. Everywhere I looked there are signs strongly encouraging growing forest, creating a bee safe garden, protecting monarch butterflies,etc. It was peaceful to sit in their tiny forest and enjoy the most delicious pirogi (cheddar & bacon) I've ever tasted!!!!
Although there were very few vendors it gave one more time to focus on the main attraction and enjoy the free live music. However, it is important to keep in mind that you CANNOT bring your dog. There is a $5.00 parking charge but it goes to the Humane Society so you can't go wrong with helping animals...if you are in a wheelchair; you will need assistance because you are traveling over rough & muddy fields. read more
