It's also very kid- and dog-friendly, which made the visit even more enjoyable since my daughter had her dogs.

Located right off of Highway 30, there is plenty of parking. No admission to visit. Just $10 to clip yourself a bouquet, they provided the clippers. There is a charming farm store where you can buy various lavender products like essential oils and soaps and lavender themed gifts. They even provide blankets and umbrellas to borrow for those wishing to sit in the fields for a picnic. Don't worry, the bees won't bother you. They are busy doing their bee thing; pollinating is way more important than you! Lots of white Adirondack chairs amongst the lavender for those photo ops! The Columbia Gorge Crepes food truck is there serving delicious and hearty sweet and savory crepes. There are plenty of picnic tables in the shade to enjoy the crepes or a picnic you brought from home. Visit before the word gets out about this hidden gem! I believe they are only open on weekends while lavender is in bloom (July), so do check their website for dates and times.

I know there are a ton of great farms and orchards in Oregon, so I started my explorations here. I'd read that they have a mean marionberry shake. When I got there, I saw that, for a dollar more, they also had huckleberry. I'm not sure if I've ever tried huckleberry, so I wasn't sure if I would even like it as much as marionberry, which is my favorite. So I picked marionberry, and it was bomb. Although it was on the expensive side for $8.99, it was pretty good. I also purchased a marionberry peach turnover for $5, and thought that was just okay. I loved their selection of high end jams and syrups. They have so many artisan products that would make great mother's day gifts. The girl who helped me was really friendly and made my milkshake right away. She gave me a free map of the Fruit Loop, which is Oregon's chain of fruit orchards with gift shops. Can't wait to explore more of those.

Their prices are pretty crazy - over $50 for a jar of pie filling! But some of the other things aren't bad, like warm/fresh apple turnovers for $8. Again, I wish they'd do more here like make apple butter outside, do events, etc. I'm sure I'll be back, but it always leaves me wanting for more.
