Apr 02, 2025 05:36AM ● By Jerome Bilaos

Mad Lavender Farm opens for the season in May, and Adrienne Crombie and Don Dalen are excited to present new workshops as well as the familiar favorites everybody has come to love. 

High season at the farm starts the first week of June when lavender is in full bloom and lasts through the first week of July. During that time visitors may “Pick Your Own” lavender each morning on Wednesday through Sunday (tickets available online). English lavender is first to burst forth providing abundant fresh lavender for the popular English Lavender Wreath Workshop. This year, the farm is also offering Lavender Medicine Making to learn various ways that lavender can be used in a home apothecary. From late June into July, long-stemmed French lavender comes into bloom, so don’t miss the unique Lavender Wand and French Lavender Wreath workshops. These lovely hand-made crafts can only be made with fresh cut lavender and the window of time brief. 

Tickets for all workshops as well as Baby Goat Yoga are available online. See you soon!

Location: 452 CR 579, Milford. Hours: Friday, Saturday, Sunday from 10am to 2pm. For more information contact Adrienne or Don at 908-310-5973, email [email protected] and visit MadLavenderFarm.com. See ad, page 31.
