Making Your Visit Special – Baron Hills Lavender Farm
Baron Hills Lavender Farm is a working farm. When visiting, please bring water and sunscreen, as summers are warm and sunny. The field can be uneven, so good walking shoes are recommended.

Farm History
In 2022, we purchased the land. The farm had previously been a Christmas tree farm. The rows of older trees in the middle and lower fields are remnants of the old pine trees. We decided to do something more productive with the 4 acres — and thus, a lavender farm was born. With its lovely fragrance and beautiful flowers, it felt like the perfect choice.
After clearing brush, the first 200 lavender plants were planted in the spring of 2022. An additional 600 plants were added in 2023, along with the gazebo.
We're still learning on the fly what works and what doesn’t, but the farm keeps improving year after year. Over the seasons, we’ve learned how to harvest and dry lavender for flower bundles and loose buds, distill essential oil, and create wonderful lavender-based products.

Frequently Asked Questions
How is the lavender cut?
All of our lavender is hand-cut using scissors. We gather a handful of stems into one hand and cut just above the green leaves — never into the brown, woody part of the plant.
*Each bundle is secured with a rubber band.
*After harvest, we prune the plants into shape to keep them healthy for the next season.
Should cut lavender be kept in water?
You can place cut lavender in water, but it will only last a few days. For long-term use, it's best to dry the bundles, which can last 1 to 2 years when properly stored.
How do I dry lavender bundles?
*Bend a paperclip into a hook and insert one end under the rubber band of the bundle.
*Hang it upside down in a spot with good airflow but no direct sunlight.
*In summer air, the lavender will be ready for arrangements in 2–3 days, and fully dry in 2–3 weeks.
How do I harvest dry buds?
Once fully dry (after 2–3 weeks):
*Gently rub the bundle between your hands (gloves recommended).
*The dry buds will fall off easily.
*Use a kitchen mesh strainer to remove chaff.
*Pick out any remaining stems by hand.
How do I avoid the bees?
*Bees love lavender and are usually peaceful while gathering nectar.
*Move slowly through the field.
*Tap the lavender stems gently with your scissors to encourage bees to move to another plant.
Do not swat or swing at the bees — it only agitates them.
