When is the best time to see lavender in bloom? Mid-June to early July is the peak for our large hybrid varieties. English lavender blooms late May to mid-June and again in late summer.
What types of lavender do you grow? We have both hybrid lavender and English Lavender. Our hybrids are Sensational, Phenomenal, and Exceptional. Our English are Tucker’s Early Purple, Princess Blue, Miss Kathrine (a pale pink), Hidcote, and Big Time Blue. We also have a set of another random English variety, but we are not aware of the name.
When do your other flowers bloom? Depending on the weather, our wildflowers start blooming in early June and continue through the summer. Zinnias start in late June/early July and continue until late September. Sunflowers bloom mid-July for cut your own. For photography, they are available in September. Cut your own snapdragons in late June.
Do you sell products? Yes, we sell fresh lavender bouquets in season. We also have dried lavender bouquets, lavender sachets, soaps and body products, lavender decorative brooms, other fresh flowers when in bloom, honey produced from our flowers by our apiarist, t-shirts, nature inspired jewelry and accessories, seasonal items, stickers, notebooks, bookmarks, etc. We will also have baked goods from Nonna Stella’s cottage bakery including lavender shortbread cookies, lavender sugar, biscottis, and more.
Do you have anything for children? Yes, we have a play house and a small slide. We are looking to expand our kid’s area in the future.
Do you use organic farming practices? We keep our lavender free from sprays and chemicals. We also opt to not use any sprays on our other flowers.
Can I bring my dog? Yes, you may bring your dog as long as it is on a leash and well behaved. Just please don’t let your dog eat any of the flowers nor tinkle on the lavender. Also we ask you to cleanup after your dog.
Can I take photos? You may take photos for personal use when you pay for general admission. Professional photography is not allowed during regular business hours and must be booked by appointment for a separate price. Please check our photography tab for more info.
Is the big green barn available for events? Sorry, but the barn is technically not part of the farm and is for family storage. But it can be used for an excellent photo backdrop.
