Get the latest updates on blooming and fruit picking:

​

Lavender Update:   Due to the hard freeze that the plants sustained in January, we had to replant the fields of lavender. Currently, we have re-planted the Sweet variety and will soon start replanting the Provence. Typically, the Sweet variety blooms in May and the Provence in late summer. At this point, we are not sure how large the Sweet plants will be by May but it is possible that we could have some blooms. The plants will still be very young, but they can produce blooms but on a much smaller scale. We will update the website as the plants progress.

​

General Field Update:  The primary varieties that we grow are Sweet, Provence and Phenomenal, however, we are testing new varieties to see if they can sustain the heat and humidity. All of these varieties produce blooms with longer stems which make them better for cutting bundles.  The best way to stay up to date on events, plants and fruit ripening please follow these instructions: When a pop up box appears on any of our pages, just enter your email address and you will automatically be added to our newsletter.

 We have fresh plants available each week for sale (while supply lasts) - $3.95 each.  

​

General Lavender Information:  One of the most common questions we receive is about when is the best time to visit and see the lavender in bloom. Our Sweet variety typically bursts into bloom in May and June, while the Provence variety flowers from late July through August and September. Keep in mind that blooming times can vary due to weather conditions such as excessive rain or cold and heat.  Each blooming cycle lasts for 6-8 weeks, allowing visitors to enjoy the beauty and even cut their own bundles during this magical time!

​

Blackberries:  Welcome to our berry picking experience! Blackberries are typically ready for picking in June, and we're excited to share we continually add new plants each season. When the berries ripen, you can enjoy picking them yourself, and we charge by the container. We provide the containers for your convenience, so please remember to use only our containers to help us accurately calculate your cost. We will update the progress as they start to ripen.

​

Peaches:   Exciting news! Our peach trees have bloomed beautifully, and it looks like we’re in for a bountiful crop of Florda King peaches this season. These smaller, yet incredibly sweet and juicy peaches are typically ready for picking in April. Remember, when the time comes, we provide the bags for your picking experience, as personal containers or buckets not permitted. Stay tuned for updates on the ripening and pricing!

​

Figs: The fig trees had so many figs last year. We do allow picking and it us usually later in the summer. We do charge by the container and we will provide the containers for picking.  There are still some figs available and we are allowing picking while they last. The availability can change day by day. This cost is $5 for a pint container.

Asian Pears: The pear trees produce in mid summer and are a variety that

we call an Asian Pear. The pears are smaller and hard. They have a great flavor but most people use them for canning and cooking in jams, pies, etc. We had an abundance of pears for picking over the past month, but they are now finished.​​​​​​

​

Keep checking the website for current updates and even if you’re planning a trip out to the farm in the next few weeks or months, remember that the drive and landscapes are gorgeous in Washington County! The farm is beautiful even when the lavender is not blooming. Stroll the fields and enjoy all of the handmade products and culinary items in our gift shop “The Lavender Patch”.  Relax in one of our rocking chairs and drink a glass of cold lemonade on the porch.  You can also visit our three miniature goats, Fonzie, Oreo and Moonshine.

​

We look forward to seeing you soon!
