1. Appalachian Botanical Co

Perched atop a reclaimed coal mine in Boone County, this lavender farm seeks to repurpose land left for dead into a beautiful, thriving garden... and they're succeeding. Their "triple-bottom-line" model values positively impacting people, profits, and the planet equally. We'll get behind that! You can find Appalachian Botanical Co. in Foster.

2. Lens Creek Lavender

Also located on a former coal mine, Lens Creek Lavender is a run by sisters working to transform their father's coal mine into a family farm featuring a variety of organic lavender products. They also sell other made-in-West Virginia products, including local salt mined from JQ Dickinson Saltworks and more. Learn more about Lens Creek Lavender Farm on Facebook here.

3. Stone House Lavender Farm and Barn

Not only does this urban farm grow lavender, the facility also provides a stunning barn and grounds for events of all sizes! It's a beautiful spot to explore in season, featuring not only fragrant lavender fields but also a historic stone house and friendly livestock!

4. Blackthorn Lavender Farm

Located in Sugar Grove along Blackthorn Creek, this lavender farm offers all kinds of custom products for you to enjoy. Need culinary lavender? Find it here. Need lavender linen? Find it here. Need a lavender wreath or two? That's Blackthorn Lavender Farm's specialty! Learn more about Blackthorn Lavender Farm at their website here.

Even when the farms are closed to visitors for the season, or for any other reason, you can always order products from these farms' websites, so keep a "virtual roadtrip" in mind for times when an actual in-person visit isn't possible!
