is a lovely weekend outing for families. There's more to see than just fresh smelling, bright purple lavender. Families can also enjoy a variety of fresh fruit to pick and nibble on, and see interesting heritage architecture and farm animals. The farm is located in Hepburn Springs, just a short drive out of Daylesford. Opening times depends on the month, and entrance fees are $3.50 for adults and $1 for children.


In summer the lavender is harvested and processed onsite into handmade products, which are for sale at the entrance of the farm, or onsite (or online ). Lavandula products range from balms, to shampoos and pet products.


Aside from lavender, the farm also has a great variety of fruits and vegetables. Fruits include various types of apples and plums, raspberries, pears and quinces (from which we made quince jelly). The children loved tasting fresh fruit which they picked themselves. Strange shaped vegetables, huge melons and pumpkins grown at the farm were also on display (see below)


The farm also has a flock of ducks, a pony and a donkey that was quite willing to be patted.


And when you need a break from exploration, you can stop over at La Trattoria cafe and enjoy a coffee or lunch made from fresh farm ingredients in Lavandula's historic stone building.
