Get the latest updates on blooming and fruit picking:

​

Lavender Update:   Welcome to our lavender fields! Due to a hard freeze in January, we replanted our Sweet variety in April, and while they are still young, we are beginning to see some lovely blooms. As the stems need plenty of sun and heat to strengthen, we are starting to allow cutting, but please ensure that the stems are firm and upright before harvesting. We’ll guide you on the proper cutting technique to ensure the best experience, and while our younger plants may yield fewer stems, the mature ones will offer much more as the season progresses. One or our associates will explain the cutting technique before you go out to the fields. Enjoy!

​

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:  Blackberries are typically ready for picking in June, however, there are no berries ready for picking at this time. They ripen in small stages and we are happy to let people pick what is available as they ripen.  When the berries do 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:   Update: Our peach trees produced an average crop this past April but as always, they were very sweet. They have now finished their season. Remember, we provide the bags for your picking experience, as personal containers or buckets not permitted. Picking will last until the peaches have all been picked. PLEASE, one bag per person as we only have a few peach trees. 

​

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.  Stay tuned for updates on their ripening.  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!
