Sunset Lavender Harvest
RESERVATION DESCRIPTION
As the evening fades, hand harvest your own lavender bundle under the magic of the setting sun. With a reservation, we will meet at the hilltop farm shed and begin with a Lavender welcome mist. In the Lavender fields, we will share an overview of our Lavender cultivars and their uses, give an introduction to our growing practices, and a harvest demonstration with time alloted for Q&A. Guests are invited to cut from designated rows of lavender, looking out over the pastoral Thomas P. Bentley preserve. We will finish with a full product education and opportunity to sample the items we make on the farm and enjoy a refreshing Lavender lemonade. Option to arrive thirty minutes early and visit the gallery and shop our farm store or stroll the formal garden before beginning the sunset harvest. Guest must be able to walk up hilly terrain. Children may not cut the lavender unsupervised. Activity not suitable for those who have a bee allergy.

We are at the mercy of Mother Nature, as she determines when various cultivars begin to bloom and how long those blooms will last. Our English cultivars are typically the first to start blooming in early June, followed by our French cultivars in late June/early July. The peak bloom is typically the third and fourth weeks of June, lasting into the first two weeks of July, with variations from season to season. Consult our Bloom Schedule to see past images of the fields by date. Check our Instagram or Facebook for Lavender Field Status updates in season.

Unfortunately, weather in our valley is unpredictable. The weather must be clear for the harvest, in the case of rain we will need to cancel/reschedule your visit. We monitor the weather the day before and reach out to provide any weather-related updates the morning of the event.
