There’s no better place than Southern Oregon to take in the scenes and scents of lovely lavender farms. This year, six local lavender farms on the Southern Oregon Lavender Trail are happy to welcome visitors to their annual Lavender Festival Weekends, June 24-26 & July 15-17. Each farm specializes in different lavender and aspects of growing it—making for a very interesting day out. Bring the family for a fun experience… with music, vendors, food and lavender!

If you decide to visit, be sure to check the opening times and dates for each farm which may be different. These are all small, family-run businesses who love to share what they do with visitors and your experience on each of the farms is likely to be quite different.

This year, guests may visit Lavender Ally, Dos Mariposas Vineyards & Lavender Farm, Applegate River Lavender Farm, Goodwin Creek Gardens, English Lavender Farm, and Kingfisher Farms.

In addition to relaxing for a few hours, guests will have a chance to talk to the local farmers who will share useful growing tips. Some farms are offering lavender treats, u-pick, lavender essential oil demonstrations and wreath making. There is no better time or place to take a breath and appreciate the splendor of this wonderful herb grown right on our doorstep.
