Lavender Fields

A visit to Lavender Fields always makes my day better. The property offers a variety scenic backdrops for photography at any skill level. With all due respect if you can’t manage to take a decent picture while there it’s your own dang fault. I am an amateur at best but I have found Lavender Fields to be a selfie WONDERLAND as well as a perfect place to snap adorable photos of my children. Around Easter time I was literally blurting out such things as “peak aesthetics” and “total perfection” as I watched the sweet children frolic amongst the lavender hedgerows and play on the ivory bounce castle with sprawling vines and a mystical labyrinth in the background. My children have learned about nature; specifically entomology and botany while admiring their beautiful gardens. My son ADORES the feathered and furry friends there, he especially loves the goats!!! I must say the staff is always extremely kind and helpful! We are an autism family and we feel so safe and welcome there because of their inclusivity. The Wild Flowers Cafe is quaint. I always feel like I’m being a little fancy when I am treating myself to one of their fresh and flavorful menu items. It’s been a super hot summer and I recently quenched my thirst with a refreshingly floral lavender lemonade while I watched butterflies flitting about the gardens. My daughter enjoyed the cupcakes and she is an extremely fussy and picky eater. Everyone in my home appreciates the lavender hand sanitizer that I always pick up from their gift shop, it smells so good!!! One of these days I am going to treat myself to a tea party that they sometimes host there, or one of their other special events because I always have a ball just visiting on a regular day. I can’t even imagine how delightful a relaxing tea party would be on top of all of the wonderful attributes and offerings at Lavender Fields! I’m definitely a very happy repeat customer.

My girlfriend and I decided to have a little date here. We were pleasantly surprised to find this hidden gem. We just wished it was a bit bigger so we could have stayed and explored a bit longer.

Some of the highlights were the cafe, I had a tea that was quite tasty. Then we spent quite a bit of time hanging out with the goats and chickens. There were some beautiful flowers and of course, lavender plants.

The staff was extremely warm and friendly. They all seemed to get along very well and did a great job interacting with the public but also getting their work done.

The shop was cute, with a bit of everything. We didn't end up purchasing anything but I expect we will be back in the future to support this beautiful place.

We wandered slowly and we ended up staying for about an hour but its a pretty small place so if you are expecting to spend a day, you might want to add another stop on the way. But overall we had zero complaints and really enjoyed a beautiful afternoon there.

Don't overlook this lovely place! Entry is free. If you just need an escape from everyday life, you can come here and hit pause in the gardens. They had a wonderful chime in a little gazebo that was the perfect place to be quiet (literally and figuratively). There is a labyrinth if that is your thing. And if you're lucky, they'll give you goat chow and you can walk a goat named Lavender around part of the grounds. 🥰

I can't remember her name, but the manager was welcoming and a pleasure to chat with.

Their products are made using their lavender. The scent is strong, though, so if you're sensitive to scents like I am, proceed with caution. I like the after sun lotion and the lavender face spray. Prices aren't excessively high.
