The farms opens again in May for the season with some exciting new workshops as well as the familiar favorites everybody has come to love.

The lavender is in full bloom mid-June through the first week of July and so much happens in that window of time, including Pick Your Own (PYO) lavender every morning Wednesday through Sunday (tickets available online). Our English lavender is first to burst forth providing abundant fresh lavender for our popular English Lavender Wreath Workshop. In response to many requests, this year we have a workshop in Lavender Medicine Making to learn all the various ways that lavender herb can be used in your home apothecary. Looking for more quality time with your child? Spend some time with them on the farm in a Mommie & Me Workshop; we offer a Mini Wreath Workshop in June and a Flower Crown Workshop in September. Our long-stemmed French lavender comes into bloom late June into July, when our very unique Lavender Wand Workshops are scheduled, as well as our French Lavender Wreath Workshops. These lovely hand-made crafts can only be made with fresh cut lavender and the window of time brief! Tickets available online.
