Silver Fox Lavender Farm

Hello!

Did you all have a good weekend?

We sure did.

We went to a local Lavender Farm and had ourselves a beautiful relaxing day.



 


Have you ever been to a lavender farm before?

The smell when you arrive is oh so heavenly.





This farm is own by a family here who host the lavender festival.  Their property is so lovely every where you look.

My boy’s enjoyed swinging on some swings next to a creek full of ducks.

 


 


 



In the past years that I have gone to a lavender festival, I always cut me a big bouquet of lavender to take home.  But since I now have my own lavender bush at home I decided not to.


 This grapevine trellis was really neat to walk under.


 


 The Farmhouse on the property was built 101 years ago.  It is a sears home ordered from a Sears and Roebuck catalog and shipped and built on site.  Isn’t it charming?

This is actually the back of the home.


  


This Silo was built for 3 farmers as a co-op to store their grain, today it is used to dry lavender bouquets.

 


The Silo has a beautiful rose garden next to it.


 


The festival had a few fun vendors, Lavender doughnuts, tea, lemonade and ice cream, You could enjoy lunch under the orchard trees, make lavender wreaths, listen to live music, or just relax in a lavender lawn chair in the shade.


 

 


Exploring the farm we also found chickens, sheep and old cars.










I thoroughly enjoyed myself, and can’t wait to go again next year.

Thanks for stopping by,

Emily
