Keys Creek Lavender Farm in San Diego County is a delightful place to see, smell and taste this fragrant flower.
Strolling through rows of lavender fields is definitely one way to embrace this setting, but you might also be surprised by how many other activities are available at Keys Creek.
The farm is open year round, but from July to April it can be visited by appointment only. Once lavender season is in full bloom in May and June, hours are Wednesday through Sunday from 10am-3pm.
Even with all that peace and quiet, it's easy to work up an appetite out on the farm. Good thing they have a snack stand here for yummy drinks and eats. Make sure to try a glass of refreshing lavender lemonade.
And whatever you do, make sure you take a lavender plant home with you so you can plant some in your garden and create a small lavender farm of your own.
Doesn’t this look like a delightful way to spend a SoCal day? Keys Creek Lavender Farm is located at 12460 Keys Creek Rd in Valley Center, CA. Between now and April, you’ll have to call or email the farm to set up a time to explore the property. However, once the lavender season is in full bloom, the farm will be open on Wednesday to Sunday from 10am to 3pm.
If you love being out in nature, you might also enjoy heading out to this Southern California garden. It is truly one of the most breathtaking botanical gardens you will ever see.
