Originally a strawberry and melon farm in the early 1900's, Lavender Ridge Farms owners Jane Dane and Jerry Ware revived the family land in 2006 with a crop of lavender planted on a gentle slope near a wooded edge of the property. Since this revival, the farm has become home to several perennial gardens, our lavender café, garden center and gift shop that includes over a hundred of our handmade products and other great garden items and gifts.
While visiting the farm, guests can walk through and view our various gardens and lavender field, cut fresh bunches of lavender during blooming season (early June - July as available). Enjoy visiting with our adopted/rescued farm animals, bird watching of dozens of migratory and native birds or just hang out and relax under one of our large oak trees. Along with the natural and introduced beauty at the farm, a unique dining experience awaits under the shady canopy of trees at our on-site café. Our menu includes lavender inspired entrees, desserts and beverages in addition to traditional lunch fare.
We welcome visitors Friday through Sunday from March through October. The farm offers new forms of beauty monthly, making your visit special each time. Plan your trip soon - we can't wait to see you!
