Astrid's Lavender farm was founded in August 2022 by two couples who shared a vision or creating a peaceful, welcoming destination for the community. Planting began in October 2022 with 500 plants, followed by an additional 2,500 plants the next year.

Lavender is the centerpiece of our farm, but the experience extends well beyond the fields. Visitor can enjoy picnic areas, a small playground, and peaceful wooded trails accessible to people of most ages. Children especially enjoy our Kids Trail, where hidden gnomes encourage exploration and discovery. We make most of the products sold in our gift shop right here on the farm. Both distilling and debudding will be demonstrated, showcasing how we distill our own lavender to produce essential oil and hydrosol and how our lavender buds are removed with our debudding machine. From there Astrid personally handcrafts the sachets that we fill with the fragrant buds. Our greatest joy comes from seeing visitors experience their delight and and awe.
