FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

WHAT’S THE BEST TIME TO VISIT A LAVENDER FARM IN ONTARIO?

While lavender season can vary, July is your best month to plan a visit. Lavender can start blooming as early as June and continue into August, but July is said to be the peak month.  We have a variety of lavender plants that bloom till October!

DO I NEED TO BOOK A TICKET IN ADVANCE?

Sorry spur of the moment travelers, you’ll need to plan a little in advance if you wish to have a picnic, high tea or dinners on the farm!   These can be booked 3 days in advance online.  However, if you just wish to stroll the fields, hike the trails and shop in the store, you do not need to book tickets and we have no admission fees.  We do sell in the farm store drinks, lavender popsicles, lavender ice cream and occasionally we will have baked goodies to purchase.  We do not allow outside food on the farm.  However, you can book a picnic pass to bring your own food.  Please see website for more details.
