A Walk Through the Lavender Fields
/Each summer, 123 Farm at Highland Springs Ranch & Inn celebrates the beginning of the lavender harvest season by hosting the annual Lavender Festival. This year, they pivoted to “A Walk Through the Lavender Fields” event instead of the full festival.
What is the Walk Through the Lavender Fields?
Visitors of all ages are invited to stroll through the winding paths of organic lavender fields, participate in guided tours in an antique tractor-drawn wagon, learn how lavender essential oil is extracted, and taste lavender-inspired dishes. The organic herbs grown at 123 Farm are featured prominently throughout the family-friendly event in various refreshing lavender-inspired favorites such as lavender lemonade and lavender ice cream. The organic flower market showcases specialty items - many of them made with lavender - including honey, balsamic vinegar, essential oils, fresh bouquets, plants, and even lavender-stuffed toys.
At the home of the largest organic lavender farm in Southern California, you can wander the 20 acres of organic lavender fields and view the sample garden, which boasts more than 90 varieties of lavender. The farm grows primarily three varieties of lavender - Provence, Angustifolia, & Munstead - which they use in their own aromatherapy products, in floral arrangements, and in the kitchen.
Our rascals took on this lavender farm adventure in style. They explored, played, and ate their way through the day!
They discovered a few books at the gift shop and of course we had to add them to our collection.
