Wonderful experience! We will be back next year!
The lavendar festival is $13 to enter. There are around 8-10 craft booths, a large tent to sit under, and an area for picking your own lavendar. We saw 1 food vendor, 1 lavendar ice cream vendor (expensive! $5 for a half a scoop) and lavendar lemonade. There was a bouncy house/slide for kids. Overall - at this time I feel it's not worth the drive out or the $$$. This would be an absolutely stunning venue for a wedding though!
I’ll start off by saying I’m the first to always support local even if that means paying a little extra. That being said, this will sadly be our last year at this lavender festival. It has unfortunately became a huge money grab. $12 entry fee for NO reason. You still have to pay to pick, eat/drink etc. You should be enticing people to purchase your products, not charging them to look. Other farms use their “entry free” as a credit for picking or purchasing products. I got an extremely watered down lavender lemonade which appeared to be scooped out of unrefrigerated barrels with ice. I also ordered scones and was extremely disappointed. They tasted and looked like Pillsbury biscuit dough out of a can. They came in ziploc sandwich bag. The true reason I ordered scones was for the Devonshire cream. Only to of course be disappointed to find it was more like honey- vanilla Greek yogurt. I have added a comparison photo of REAL Devonshire clotted cream vs what they gave out at the venue. Not to mention the amount of “cream” given would not be appropriate for 6 mini scones. They had a handful of vendors with typical things (metal art, cutting boards, quilted/sewing items, chunky gem jewelry, DIY items etc). I absolutely cringe to think of the price those poor vendors had to pay just to set up shop there and be roasted in that dry heat. Someone else posed the price of U-pick lavender, $30 for a large bundle is absurd. You can get several of your own lavender plants for that price. I absolutely hate giving a bad review on a local farm but this has become a hoity-toity hotspot for tourists. If you need fresh lavender or lavender products, their shop is open and FREE to enter when the festival is over. Overall- Lovely products but skip the festival.
Absolutely beautiful farm. I love coming up here every year for the festival and seeing all the new changes they do.
