Each summer, 123 Farm at Highland Springs Ranch & Inn celebrates the beginning of lavender harvest season by hosting the annual Lavender Festival. Visitors of all ages are invited to stroll through the winding paths of organic lavender fields, participate in guided tours in horse-drawn hay wagons, learn how lavender essential oil is extracted, taste lavender-inspired dishes and enjoy live music.
The organic herbs grown at 123 Farm are featured prominently throughout the family-friendly festival through various refreshing lavender-inspired favorites such as lavender lemonade and lavender ice cream. The organic marketplace showcases specialty items many of them made with lavender as, for example, honey, balsamic vinegar, essential oils, fresh bouquets, plants and even lavender-stuffed toys.
Join our farmer for a demonstration on distilling lavender to extract essential oils. The talk will cover the organic practices of our farm and discuss about our future plans. The demonstration lasts about one hour. Distillation demonstrations at:
Friday to Sunday 11 am and 3 pm
Monday to Thursday 3 pm
Wander the 20 acres of our organic lavender fields and view our sample garden which is the home of more than 90 varieties of lavender. We grow primarily three varieties of lavender - Provence, Angustifolia & Munstead - which we used in our own aromatherapy products, for floral arrangements and in the kitchen. Remember to bring your camera and feel free to take as many photos as you like, but please do not pick the lavender.
All our food items are created from top quality ingredients, including produce from local farms, organic flour, sugar and dairy. We also feature organic lavender from our farm in our dishes and drinks.
Over 40 aromatherapy products made with lavender from our fields are for sale at the Organic Marketplace. These include lavender teas, lotions and essential oils and lavender-filled toys.View products on ouronline store

Main lavender fields: Vera lavender has mostly been harvested, smaller fields have not been harvested for photo ops. Provence and Munstead are past bloom and have been harvested. If planning your visit for next year, the ideal time to visit to see most lavender in bloom is in mid-June.
*Please note: as a working organic farm we will be continuously harvesting the lavender that is currently in bloom throughout the lavender season. The lavender is used in our bath, beauty and culinary products that we sell on the farm and use for our kitchen.
