What could be better than strolling around a beautiful field of aromatic flowers? This gorgeous Vermont lavender farm is just the thing to soothe and enchant you. There’s just so much to do and sniff. Here’s how and when to visit.
Summer is lavender time. If you’re looking for the ultimate place to experience it in the Green Mountain State, check out Lavender Essentials of Vermont.
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!
You can visit this lavender farm starting June 30, 2019. They will be offering a pick-your-own bouquet experience for just $5 per person.
In the near future, the farm also hopes to offer a lavender labyrinth and lavender-infused water and lemonade to sip on while you explore. Sounds relaxing and delicious!
The lavender reaches peak bloom around late July, but is available to view (and smell) throughout July, August, and September. Stop by to breathe in the heavenly scent of the farm and take home a bit of the beauty!
