Calverton $9 will have approx 5 acres remaining; East Marion $7 will have approx 2 acres remaining. The color of the lavender fades later in the bloom period, while the intensity of the fragrance increases. The bees are hard at work; they will be very active as there is less lavender from which they can gather nectar.

French lavender typically blooms through July, however this year it is starting to show color early! Please keep in mind that we cut the flowers for fresh and dried bunches as the bloom progresses, so the fields will get smaller through the month of July.

June 10 2022 - We're excited to announce the beginning of our English lavender bloom at the Calverton Farm! Our English lavender blooms first, typically in mid-June. This year, it looks like this bloom will arrive early. The English bloom is significantly smaller than our French bloom, so ticket entry price will be lower: Tickets this weekend can be purchased in person

Although the English bloom is quite small, there is a wonderful variety of lavender plants. Did you know lavender comes in many different colors? We grow over 20 varieties in all types of color such as white, pale blue, pink, purple, light purple, dark purple. Some English lavenders grow to about 1-2 feet tall but some varieties are even taller and they all have varying traits. At its peak bloom, we harvest it for fresh and dried bunches.


We can't wait to welcome you back, we hope you enjoy the view!
