June You-Picks

You-Pick Season is now closed!
We were able to extend our lavender bloom and you pick season the year for the whole month of June 2022 due to the different varieties of Lavandin Lavender we grow here at the farm allowing so many people to make great memories cutting their own fresh lavenders. We think the hot dry weather was also an advantage of all the blooms this year. We want to thank you all that came out to the farm. We feel very blessed to have so many visitors! Thank you so much!!

We Distill Our Own Lavender Essential Oil

Lavender bloom season is only a few short weeks the first half of June here. Then we spend the rest of the month harvesting those amazingly scented lavender bloom by hand to hang and dry and later sell as bundles or distill to make our pure lavender essential oil and lavender hydrosol. Both filled with health benefits. We then use our oil to make our high quality products. So check out our lavender cottage shop or check out our Dahlias garden and sunflowers or our other flowers for the rest of summer into autumn. Shop is open from March through till mid December or online all the time. 

Flower Gardens Galore

Our Flower Gardens are amazing from Summer until mid Autumn with all varieties of flowers from Alliums to Zinnas, Sunflowers and our 1200 Dahlias. On weekends we sale cut bouquets, if we get time. With the farm filled with flowers and lavender how could you not resist a visit to our farm? Bring your cameras for amazing keepsake memories. I heard there are lots of butterflies and hummingbirds here in summer!

About US

In 2014 we started planting our first crop of just 500 lavender and 9 different varieties. This was a totally new adventure, since NO One had grown lavender in Georgia past year two without crop failure. But we had small parcel of pasture at our home and decided this beautiful herb was worth trying. Today we grow about 4,000 lavender plants of 19 different varieties, some plants 8 years of age. We have learned a lot through in-depth research, lavender conferences, visiting lavender farms in person and speaking with lavender growers from Arizona, South Carolina, North Carolina, Sequim Washington and also abroad to the Provence area of France and Ireland. UGA visits our farm yearly to check with us to see how we are growing lavender in this harsh environment and being successful.
