We once again had a very successful social media campaign, this year with Living Social, and expect a lot of lavender lovers! So be aware that weekends are the busiest times. If you want the field more to yourself try to schedule a visit on a Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday or Thursday and/or between 9 a.m. to 11 a.m. and 3 p.m. to 4 p.m. which are usually less busy times. Also be aware that our lavender blooms in stages by variety. The first week there will be a much smaller amount blooming. The second week more....etc. Our guess for the height of the season is June 8th through 22nd (although also the most busy days). We'll update this as we know more.

We are a small, family run farm business. Mother and daughters, Edith and Deborah and Dianne, co-own the farm and employ family members, interns, and neighbors to staff the farm business. Below you will find links to videos of our farm. We began about eight years ago with about one hundred plants and now have over an acre in lavender and other flowers. Our farm is set in beautiful, bucolic, Fauquier County which has the advantage of being less than an hour west of Washington D.C. We enjoy sharing the beauty of our countryside and our perfumed lavender field with our relaxed and happy guests.
Our next pick-your-own season begins May 26, 2012 and ends on July 2nd and we are open daily. Get it on your calendar now so you don't forget! School and group tours are welcome, but please call to make previous arrangements. We encourage our guests to bring a picnic lunch and stay awhile!
In our "It Takes a Village" store you will find we have a tremendous variety of top quality lavender products, most of which are made here at the farm by our busy little hands. Some of our products: soap, jelly and some hand sewn products such as hair scrunchies, dog scarves, and upcoming purses are made with our lavender by a crafty neighbor. We are proud to share our growing success with our community in a variety of ways. In season we also provide employment to Fauquier Bridges, a group that sources employment for disabled adults.
