Tucked away on a beautiful hilltop in Derby, this farm is a labor of love. It offers 30 total acres of farmland and two acres of lavender.

The scent of this place is amazing. You can practically smell the delightful aroma of lavender from the car, but walking through the fields is where you want to be.

They grow three species of lavender – Munstead, Hidcote, and Phenomenal, for you pros out there. Even better, the farm is partly powered by a 140-foot Bergy wind turbine and a natural spring-fed pond helps to irrigate the crops. Talk about green!
