Lavender at Hayberry Farm

We have 3 acres of lavender varieties that are so fragrant and beautiful! We have varieties for culinary, craft, or body care uses. This is also a great spot just to visit and take photos.

Each season is variable due to weather conditions, so the peak season notes are just guidelines, not guarantees, about when you can find these varieties available at the farm. In general mid June-mid July is peak lavender season with a resurgence of some varieties in late August.
