It's so unique with all their little tiny houses and the animals. Each house has a theme like the teddy bear house, the old lady in the boot, mother goose, grandma's house, and so many more. The gentleman who owns it is very kind. The admission is free, but they appreciate a $5 donation per person. My son was allowed to pet and feed all the animals, and he got to hold a bunny. He was in heaven!! We will go back here for sure, especially for the pumpkin patch and for Christmas.

We enjoyed the hay rack ride, which was my fiancee's first ever. We loaded up with all of the other kids and parents and did a tour (or a lap) around the pumpkins. We then were dropped off where we started and set off with a wagon to get the perfect pumpkin. We had a great time. The weather was wonderful. The only disappointment I had was that they did not have food or anything to purchase other than pumpkins. I was thinking caramel corn, caramel covered apples, some sweets, nothing available. Being their first year, I'm sure they will figure it out for next year.

They offer horse and pony rides too and there's also a little play area for the kids. Highly recommend stopping here if you're in the area.

All of the animals are friendly, and they are especially good with very young children. Our group had a 2 year old, 3 year old and a 4 year old as well as adults. The children are able to interact with the animals and pet them without having any or fear of them getting bit or injured. There is a boutique with a wide range of products, many of the products are made from alpaca wool. You can also purchase a ziplock bag of feed for $5 to feed to the animals. The prices range from $5 and up. For the budget conscious there is a small clearance bin available. I purchased an item for 50% off from it. This business also gives you an opportunity to come and watch an alpaca give birth to their new little baby (cria) The staff here are amazing and are so very kind and gentle with their animals. We were not able to view a birth but got to meet a new baby cria who was born 2 hours before we met him.

Heading west, I blew past the main exits for Grand Junction, thinking, "just make the next rest stop...much more efficient than dealing with restroom-access at a gas station or McDonald's." But when Nature calls, you can't let it go to voicemail, so there I was at 80 mph thinking, "ok, it's gotta be this exit here....and hmmm, (a bit desperately now,) I have some fine tissue and maybe this is going to come down to a grassy spot out of view. I turn right off the exit and drive just a moment and it's a movie now where the music is crescendoing and I'm saved! An adorable little bike out front marks the entrance to the gravel parking lot. The next thing I know, I'm in a beautiful shop (yes, beautiful restroom too!) and of course, purchasing a lavender lemonade, fresh baked goods and even lavender-almond hand lotion. Now, about those baked goods....WOW! Lemon-lavender scone with a side of fresh lemon custard. Yum!! A gorgeous lavender-pumpkin, chocolate-chip muffin?! What the? This was amazing too. $1.86 each? Definitely get at least two (six?!) of each. I did. They were so fresh that the second muffin wasn't eaten til two days later (refrigerated) and it was per-fect! Listen, worth the drive! Five lavender stars. The owner was a gem. The shop is named to honor their grandparents who were flower growers, I do believe I got that right. Over some 80 lavender products at reasonable prices. Great atmosphere with tables and comfy chairs, and a bar inside. Front patio with chairs and jenga. Leave now and do not stop until you are on their doorstep. Open daily.

This isn't Spanish Lavender which does not smell- it is French. Although it was pretty dry, you could still smell it. They make and sell a lot of their own products- candles, bug spray, lotion, products just for pups, etc. I bought a few things & headed out. fyi- there is a Yurt Bar, probably very fun in summer evenings, but it was daytime & this was a work trip!
