Farm and Orchard

FARM AND ORCHARD EXPERIENCES

Rural tourism is a great experience for the whole family. In your busy lives, we know it is difficult to find time to think about WHERE your food is coming from. A visit to one of our farms or orchards is the perfect way to connect the dots. Bring your kids to one of the local farms or orchards for fun for the whole family!

Serenity Lavender 

Relax on a picturesque gazebo surrounded by a winding labyrinth of lavender. Feel your stress melt away as you take a stroll through the scenic gardens, home to over 45 different kinds of lavender plantings. All of the lavender you come across in your visit is harvested directly for Serenity Lavender’s assortment of bath and body products, teas, essential oils, culinary spices, and herbs. Lavender enthusiasts can participate in a variety of classes offered in-store that include wreath-making, silk and watercolour painting, and seasonal crafts. The annual Lavender Festival that takes place each June includes live music, artisan booths, craft demonstrations and, of course, lavender field tours.
