You can also expect to find extra events and activities at many of the locations, including food and beverage vendors, wine, cider, live music, kid-friendly activities, lavender-related demonstrations and classes, other vendor booths, and more!

Each farm offers its own welcoming experience, with thoughtfully planned activities, so be sure to visit them all! Find a convenient map on our website to help you plan your trip.
