Testimonials about our Lavender Farm:

Vicker

Nice Lavender Farm with a variety of products. Very calm and pencil and enjoyed sitting on terrace with tea and coffee looking at lavender. 

Heather

We stopped at the Lavender Farm after spotting a sign on our way to the ghost ranch. We had to stop and glad we did. Bought some lavender tea, lavender gelato and a sachet full of lavender (smells amazing) and sat on their front porch with a beautiful view of the Lavender fields.

This is a must see.

Martha

We bought this linen spray on a recent trip to NM, and can’t believe how wonderful it is! When we use it, we both sleep so much more soundly! These will be presents for our family members!
