Enjoyed the tour. Learned a lot about Lavender. The Lavender ice cream is delicious. Nice variety of Lavender products to purchase!
I try to stop by anytime I’m vacationing in Wisconsin Dells since it’s close by. I’ve taken the tour a couple of times, something to experience at least once. It’s cool to see how much they grow and how the farm is expanding. I just visited a couple of days ago because I needed to have their pie and decided to take some maternity photos as well. Even if you don’t take the tour it’s nice to purchase a drink and take in the scenery.
Our family of four visited at the end of June. The little shop had no shortage of lovely smelling lavender products. It smelled better than a spa.
They sell a variety of tasty lavender treats and drinks. Each sells for ~$5. We tried the lavender latte and a lemon/lavender ice cream drink. Both were delicious, but the second was our favorite.
We brought our 6 and 4 yo and they enjoyed the porch swing pergola, small play structure, yard games, fish, and honestly watching the ants build their hills amongst the beautiful lavender fields. It was peaceful and I enjoyed walking around the grounds. My husband had endless photography inspiration.
The price to enter was worth what we experienced. It seems that they are working to expand and make the experience even more worthwhile. A few more shaded areas might be nice throughout the farm for visitors on hot days. We didn’t actually buy anything at the shop because we had already spent a bit on the tour and snacks. We would have been more likely to buy products if perhaps that would have also granted us entrance to the farm grounds.
The farm keeps bees and you can almost constantly here the low hum of the bees in the lavender. The flowers kept them busy, so we were never bothered by them. I had no idea how many varieties of lavender there are.
The wild flowers were not in full bloom when we visited June 28th.
They do not currently have a cherry orchard—we were told that their planting was not successful, or some such thing. So don’t go expecting much in the way of cherries. The farm is quite lovely without them, though!
We spent 2-3 hours here.
A must see location is you like or are curious about lavender. For about $5, you can roam around the farm take photos of the lavender field and acres of wild flowers. They also offer a Farm to Table Wagon tour for $12.75 which includes a great deal of information. This is also a cherry orchard so their claim to fame is lavender cherry pie which you can purchase by the slice or the whole pie. If it can be made with lavender, they have it for sell in the store. I had a cup of Earl Grey Lavender tea and my wife had peach ginger lavender tea both of which we enjoyed. The staff is pleasant and helpful! Certainly worth the trip!
Absolutely beautiful place! If you can, be sure to get the farm wagon tour- lots of great information and a fun ride. Walked around the property enjoying the lavender and wildflower fields for a good bit afterward. Nice gift shop with a kind staff (with every lavender product you can imagine!). Topped off the day there with some super delicious lavender ice cream enjoyed in their beautifully landscaped garden.
