Come join us for a three-day celebration of the lavender harvest. We will have multiple farm items, crafters, and artisans on-site in an open-air market.
Every year our event continues to improve and grow. The selection of vendors has broadened and our guests provide even more fun opportunities. This year you will be treated to almost 50 vendors providing a wide variety of hand-crafted goods, one-of-a-kind artwork, artist demonstrations, guest appearances, and don’t forget the star of the show-our lavender field. Stroll the field, stay for lunch, stop by for dinner, harvest u-cut lavender, check out our store before you leave and use your ticket from registering here to get a BOGO on U-Cut lavender! Check back often as the schedule builds out and register for tickets to be notified of changes or additions. Must present your ticket for the BOGO, so make sure to print it out or save it to your phone, please.
