Forget an expensive trip to Provence, France. A day trip to Lavender Fields Farm is all you need if you long to wander through blooming rows of purple lavender, enjoy the beauty of this sweet smelling herb, pick your own bouquet of flowers, rest under the shade of a tree, and experience all the flavors, fragrances and healing qualities of this amazing purple flower. You can cut your own flowers in the fields, check out the quaint cottage store which offers everything from potted plants to scented soaps or attend one of a dozen demonstrations on lavender’s many uses in the farm’s restored nineteenth century barn. The store’s ambiance with its delicious smells, soft music, homespun displays and warm lighting provides a warm, welcoming, folksy, not over-powering atmosphere, where a person can feel comfortable lingering a while and trying out the products.
