As we all long for warm days spent outside, there are many hard at work around Cincinnati ensuring their properties are ready for a plentiful summer and fall. There are many unique experiences you can have outdoors over the summer months, and the concept of Agritourism is quickly becoming one of the favorites. If you haven’t heard of that term, it essentially means when a family opens up their farm to visitors and shares their love for the land and its natural beauty with others. U-Pick events are one way local farms are welcoming us on their properties, and we’ve found the most relaxing and sweetest smelling option near Cincinnati. Sunshine Acres Lavender Farm is located in Morrow, just north of Cincinnati, and this lovely farm is one you simply must visit.

Located in Morrow, Sunshine Acres Lavender Farm is owned by the Clarke family, who moved to this area of town in 2014.

They were hoping to create a more peaceful and simple lifestyle for their family and purchased seven acres that were full of possibilities.
After researching different types of micro-farms, they decided upon lavender and planted their first crop of about 220 plants in 2016.

In the spring of 2017, the farm welcomed its first harvest and also wildly popular U-Pick events, where the public has been able to enjoy the beauty of this favorite plant.

Now going into their second year of U-Pick Days, the farm has a thorough system for their upcoming events.
The public U-Pick weekend will be held July 7th - 9th, 2018, and pre-purchased tickets are required.

Tickets are per carload and you will sign up for a specific time slot. This allows a better flow and management of the event, given that this does take place on a family farm and private residence. For more details, visit the Sunshine Acres Lavender Farm website. Tickets for the U-Pick weekend will go on sale April 22nd, 2018 at 2 p.m.

The family also includes a flock of chickens and four sweet, little goats. The animals are kept in their pens during events, but you can still stop by and say hello! The goats are great at helping with weeding, but they don't care for the taste of lavender.
Sunshine Acres is also an incredible spot for professional photography.
