dip your feet in the mountain spring-fed stream that runs through the farm or
sit by the pond and watch the resident ducks. Ice cream and lemonade are available
at the lavender bar that looks out over the rows of plants, and a shop stocks
all-things lavender, from creams to cooking herbs. The farm has been designed
and grown with love to be a happy space, a place of peace. How can someone not
be thankfull for having the chance to find such an oasis amidst the trees!
