This place is amazing, especially during the Christmas season. Make sure to check it out during Christmas at night. The lights and decorations throughout the farm are truly wonderful!!! read more

This was a very cute experience for its ticket price. I definitely recommend getting parking if you can. Street Parking was so bad, we had to park a mile down in a street with no lights. This isn't ideal since we were two girls walking by ourselves, late at night, on a street with no lights. Once we got inside, it was very pretty. The actual lavender fields were so breathtaking. Everything was so well lit up and the areas were pretty clean. We got to the food area and the lines for each stand were so long that they were intersecting each other. We ended up getting the Lavender Lemonade and the Roasted Chicken, which were both very good. We decided to leave after eating because there wasn't much else to do. Overall, there was way too many people there and not enough workers or activities. I enjoyed the lights and the farm dogs, though. read more

The food was bad, if you can stop at the city and eat first is recommended We order the soup and the carbonara it was very salty and the coffee tasted as they made it last night and forgot to turn it off read more

123 Farm - Farmers Market Near Me - Cherry Valley, California

I used to love this place. It had a more healthy/farm vibe to it. Now it seems like a lot of the menu items are things you would get at a fair, and they don't have meals with lavender infused like before. Overall, I won't be coming back as it's not really a farm that grows produce, but more so just a place to walk around for a small bit and eat mediocre food. read more

Family and I was so excited to go to the lavender festival. Unfortunately it wasn't what we excepted and for the price and cost of everything, I would not return. We arrived and most of the Lavender fields were dry. We got 2 lemonades and they cost $17. Fries $25. Funnel Cake $20 and it was over cooked. I asked for it to be remade, which was as only a little better. No vendors when we arrive. Also, I accidentally paid for 2 parking and all they would do was give me a credit to be used for parking or something on their website. It was nice to get out, but for what i spent to enter, parking, and food , I was disappointed. read more

123 Farm - Lavender lemonade - Farmers Market Near Me - Cherry Valley, California

A fun and festive way to spend some holiday cheer with family and view the Christmas lights at the farm. Among my favorite photo spots to name a few, were the iconic couch with the chandelier, the big Willow tree with hanging lights, the brightly-lit lavender farm, Tea House, etc. Loved the craft stores and the little Village houses with train display at the hotel, where we had some clam chowder bread bowl and hot cocoa. Overall, had a wonderful time! It was magical! Expect the farm to be crowded during the holidays. Glad we purchased our tickets and parking pass early. read more

My 6 year old was so excited to see Santa Claus she nearly peed her pants! When it was her turn she looked at him like he was a Happy Meal from McDonald's!!! Usually shy, but this Santa was very talkative and he made her even more happy. When she ran back to my husband, she asked if Santa was married (What 6 year old asks that!!) She wants to live at the North Pole with Santa & Mrs. Claus. Guess we know where we stand! Great family night thank you! read more

We visited July 4th weekend for the Lavender Festival with a big group, there was something for everyone and lotsa photo ops! I Highly recommend bringing a hat or umbrella, extra water and put on some sunscreen! We bought our parking and admission tickets online. Once they scanned our parking pass, they were able to look up our admission tickets. Screenshot your QR codes beforehand as the phone signal is iffy out there. I thought they had a really good central food ordering system for the festival. It's just one line for all the booths and they will call out your number when your order is ready. They have lavender drinks, pizzas, ice cream, wraps, etc. My favorite was the lavender funnel funnel cake, get the lavender strawberry and eat it together. No regrets! I also enjoyed the pizza because it was made with their sourdough bread. However the chicken wrap with lavender spiced dressing I did not care much for. There is a small petting zoo with goats, alpacas and a cow. They are very cute but they need to massively clean the area because the poor animals are swarmed with a million flies! :( There are a couple indoor and outdoor shopping areas, tea room for more drinks & treats and more lavender goodies. I only bought items that can go inside my stomach. ha! The actual lavender field itself is big, however note that "fresh" lavender is always being harvested for their products. So the actual fresh lavender itself there's not much of depending on time you visit. Overall we had a nice time eating lavender goodies and checking out the farm. There are other events throughout the year which makes looking into membership worthwhile. read more

We brought the family out for the lavender festival. There's lots of shaded areas surrounded with plenty of sunny spots too. There was a lavender bar, desserts bar, sandwiches, and few other eateries. There was also lavender bouquet making and wreath making as well, if you choose to pay additional to do it. I tried their lavender sweet tea, lavender lemonade, and lavender ice cream. The tea was lightly sweetened, but I enjoyed the lemonade more because the lavender flavors stood out more. The ice cream was too sweet for me and very milky. I brought a 3 year old and 7 month old with strollers. Some spots were difficult to stroll over because of the gravel. I went to about 4 restrooms and none had actual changing stations, but one of the restrooms was an old hotel room converted for strictly restroom use, and they did have a normal table, so I ended up using that. My 3 year old enjoyed the petting zoo. They had a little goat, lamb, cow, and a llama (I think it was a llama). It's not a huge area, and they just had one of each. There were some other vendor shops that sold candles, homemade yarn gifts, and clothes too! Overall, we had a wonderful afternoon here. read more

TLDR - go, it'll be worth it. This place is great for families and couples alike. Kid-friendly, while also being romantic for those looking for an out-of-the-way date night activity. We stumbled across this place for the first time when looking for a fun day in the lavender fields in 2019. Times were much different back then - entry was free (at least we remember it that way), parking was ample, and crowds were sparse. During the height of the COVID pandemic, 123Farms proved to be a resilient outdoor destination. I have pictures from their Christmas event in December 2020, when you could walk basically unencumbered by any other guests. Perfect shots of the lights without a single other person in sight, etc. Since our first visit 5 years ago, 123Farms has matured in the most appropriate of ways. As their popularity grew, they capitalized on their newfound success as a destination. Entrance fees, parking fees, vendors, and numerous food options cropped up to accommodate the increasing guest count. Somehow, they've done all of this without losing too much of the magic that makes the farm so special. We still go around twice a year, and every time we are amazed by the investment that these new fees have fueled. You can tell that the owners absolutely love what they're doing here, and they consistently seem to focus on making the guest experience as amazing as possible. Every year there are new things to try, new "accessory" packages to add on to your evening, and amazing food/drinks. This place has it all, and is absolutely worth the trip. read more

Paid a visit here this weekend for the Lavender Nights festival with my partner and we had a blast! The place was gorgeous and totally lit up with lights. I was worried that we would run out of things to do but we ended up staying the whole 5 hours and driving 2 hours home after closing at 10, so plenty to do! (Though admittedly we spent a LOT of time taking pictures!) Some tips: Bring a jacket! It was 90 degrees when we got there, but gets cold after dark. I left mine in the car trunk and grabbed it after sunset :) Arrive early We got there around 4:30 and there was a short line to the entrance, so we got in really quick as soon as the farm opened. Lots of free street parking too around that time. Also good idea to get food early on since the lines were looking pretty long by 6:30! Food - 8$ Lavender soft serve (9/10) was totally delicious and probably one of the best floral deserts I've tasted! - 7$ Lavender blueberry cream latte (8.5/10) was also super good! Very much a dessert type drink, sweet and creamy. - 20$ Pear & prosciutto Sourdough pizza (7/10) also solid :) nice thick soft crust. - 20$ Fig & lavender sourdough pizza (6.5/10) good pizza, just personally not a fan of feta cheese but that's my preference! read more

I had so much fun attending the Lavender Festival and was really impressed by the atmosphere, vendors, music and food. 1) Tickets: Make sure to buy tickets online prior to visiting as it will be $3 more if you buy in person. 2) Membership: There are plethora of awesome events year round so they will allow you to use your tickets as credit to buy a membership. Perks come with 10% off throughout the festival, free drink and dessert tickets, and parking all year round which cost $10 each time. 3) Parking: Once you scan your tickets at the entrance you will follow signs to park in a dirt area. 4) Food: The middle of the farm has lots of decorated tables, facing a live performer/singer and surrounded by food vendors. You will buy your food at the cashier and they will call your number. 5) Lavender Farm: The fields are massive but make sure to watch the bees, they are everywhere lol. 6) Shops: There are outdoor vendors by the Lavender fields, rows of small shops located by the front entrance and large tent shops around the festival. 7) Zoo: There is a small petting zoo but the only issue is that there are tons of flies. They really need to add fly traps to trap the flies. You will need to walk a little far to wash your hands. 8) Maze: There is a fun short maze for the kids :) 9) Main store: This is where you can purchase your membership, drink at the wine bar, do additional shopping and drink tea. 10) Bathrooms: The main bathroom is located in an unused motel/inn. The motel rooms are open so that you can use the bathroom. read more

123 Farm is the place where all the fun happens with the below festivals. The only festivals that have free admission are the Sourdough Bread and Lavender Nights (subject to change of course). Parking is not free unless it is included in the yearly membership. I haven't been to the Sheep Shearing, Lavender Nights, and Christmas Nights, but I plan to in the near future... I'm considering to get their VIP yearly membership for $80. It may be worth it if I attend all of them every year. Membership prices seem pretty reasonable. Parking already is half the cost of the membership if you attend all 5 events. - Sourdough Bread Festival from February to March - Sheep Shearing Festival from March to April - Lavender Festival from May to July - Lavender Nights from September to October - Christmas Nights from November to January This farm is actually a farm + hotel. There has been some famous celebrities who has stayed at the hotel. Saw a picture of Albert Einstein... that was a whoa! I think the hotel is still running, but not 100% sure. They also have various vendors that sell tons of goodies. It's just a neat place to visit and spend a few hours at. If you haven't been to 123 Farm, do head out there to Cherry Valley and check them out. Have some fun in the sun! See you there! read more

About a 90 minute to 2 hour drive (with traffice) from the 626 area, but to experience 123 Farm is worth it! I went on a date at 123 Farm - Lavendar Nights (8/22 - 10/27) and when the day gets dark, the place gets cozy, and the place shines the brightest! Try to come as early as possible as the place closes up at 10PM and time flies by quick once you arrive! You'll need to purchase a parking ticket and admissions to 123 Farm. I did this online and it was a pretty seamless experience. The hospitality workers are great. They're very nice and friendly and are very understanding with guiding people around the farm. You'll see a lot of families and couples at this location and the entire area is very quite, peaceful, and calming to the heart. I got drinks, burgers and fries, and pizza across the multiple food vendors. Everything was cooked fresh and I would definitely recommend trying out all that you can get your hands on! You'll be able to eat your food while listening to live music. The person performing this time around had a soothing Ed Sheeran like voice, played guitar, and swayed the crowd to sit together collectively to soak in the night. If you're lucky, you'll see the 123 Farm dogs and they are absolutely adorable. Be on the lookout! Make sure to explore all parts of the farm. The lavendar field is decorated with what seems to be an infinite amount of lights; same goes for the tree creek with the connecting little bridge. Restrooms are well kept and clean. I think everyone is very respectable of the place itself so that's nice! Definitely a spot I would highly recommend to couples and families! I think it'll be a whole new experience to people looking for wholesome night time activies across Southern California. If this interests you, then I don't think you'll be dissapointed! read more

Came where for lavender nights. We've been coming to lavender festival here for years! It's a fun summer event we do with the girls every year. They have all different kinds of lavender infused foods, beverages and desserts! The lines get really long but go very quick so don't be discouraged. The twinkle lights they have up for lavender nights are beautiful but don't forget to visit the fields while there is sun because you won't be able to see the lavender in the dark. Multiple shopping areas! They have a new ramen bar and sourdough bread area. Parking is a little rough if you don't pre buy a parking pass. They do have street parking. Bathrooms could be better but at least they aren't port-a-potties. Overall definitely worth a go!!! read more

So fun!!! Theres so many things to do here unlike most Christmas light places, I believe this is worth the money compared to the other places! Parking is a little tough, i recommend to buy your tickets early so you can buy a parking pass on the website instead of scavenging for parking and having to walk super far. The experience itself was great, so much to eat, shop and walk around. You could honestly be there for hours because there were such cute picturesque things to do! Food was a little pricey of course, but all the lavender stuff was worth! read more

We came here last week for the lavender festival. At that time, it was the last day for free entrance with paid parking, which you can only buy online. Initially, I thought it was at someone's small farm, and we would be in and out in an hour, but there's actually quite a bit to do and see here. The majority of the area is on dirt, so don't wear your brand new white Nike Air Force like I did. There's 2 main areas of seating. And many offshoots of things to go do. So even though there were a lot of people here, it didn't feel crowded. Just people everywhere. 1 of the main seating areas is where all the food and drinks are located. We enjoyed many of their foods and drinks. It was nice to see how they incorporated lavender into many of their foods and drinks. Like the pizza with lavender caramelized onions was actually really good. I also tried multiple desserts, including the lavender funnel cake, which was amazing!! Crunchy dough. Drenched in sauce and covered with berries. It was really good!! The other desserts were ok, which included the lavender ice cream, tasted like soap, but it became better with each bite. Very lavender forward. To desserts that weren't that good at all, which included their lavender cheesecake, peach cobbler with lavender whipped cream, and the lavender lemon bar. They also served a variety of drinks with lavender infusions from beer to mixed cocktails to nonalcoholic drinks. They have the lavender fields you can wander around. Large and spacious, they have a whole variety of lavenders. Great place to take pictures and watch the sunset. As well as the beautiful trees next to the fields that had lights strung throughout them. When the sun went down was very beautiful. They have a lineup of live music, which you can sit and listen to and enjoy. As well as several shops where they sell lavender infused soaps, candles, oils, as well as other lavender themed items. They also had a little booth that sold plants, including but not limited to lavender. My only issue was that the farm dogs there would just up and poop anywhere they were standing, which most often included right in the open where people were eating or walking, which was gross. Also, some of the food was hit and miss. Also, be aware that, being outside at a farm, the bugs and insects are out in force. But I wouldn't mind coming back and trying some of their other lavender infused food offerings. Overall, it was a nice event that's not too far or too expensive, where you can enjoy food and entertainment with friends and family. read more

Lavender isn't the only reason to visit 123 Farm! Make sure you arrive right when the farm opens and grab a map. I highly recommend closed toe shoes and a hat in order to take advantage of the varied activities on the farm. Hike over to the 1000 Year old oak as you pass native plants and an old stable building. From the oak you will find a smaller lavender field next to a shaded path of olive trees. Stop at the end for a photo on the old leather couch underneath a shabby chic chandelier. The music near the food court is the perfect place to grab a bottle of Rosé and sit for a bit. A visit to the Bread Hall for homemade sourdough bread and browsing the eclectic little shops. Save the Stroll through the large lavender field for the golden hour and get the perfect picture. Then make sure you visit the Pom Pom arbor lit up with tiny lights. Last but not least stop by the globe lit oak tree for a magical end to your evening. Tips: Bring water and a hat. Closed toe shoes are advised as the walking areas are mostly dirt. Outside food is not allowed but small snacks for kids might be helpful + water. Take your time. There are many historical buildings and plantings all around the property. Find a table outside the bread hall under the trees and enjoy the view of the lavender fields. I read more

I've been about three times this year. Visited when lavender fields were in full bloom, visited in fall and winter during their lavender nights and Christmas theme. Christmas theme was very popular and it was so amazing. Didn't try the Christmas theme foods but they looked really delicious. The lines were long so don't wait in line while you're already hangry! I would definitely come back again- the menu looks very good and enjoyed the Christmas ambiance. Parking looks a little intense outside the farm. A good deal of street parking but seems to fill up pretty quickly read more

You HAVE to go here. Most affordable X-mas lights experience and event in SoCal thus far. Read my TDLR tips if you want to save $ and not suffer. PRO-TIPS: 1) ORDER YOUR TIX AHEAD OF TIME: If you order before 4 PM of the day you go, you save $3, so an adult ticket is only $9 instead of $12. This will save you $ especially if you go with a big group. 2) DON'T PAY FOR PARKING: We parked 0.2 miles away at this dirt parking on the road side and some people got residential street parking. Just pay attention to where people are going and read any signs. Walk was super close and we saved $10. This will also save you from going into the long stream of cars going in. 3) ARRIVE EARLY: This will give you time to beat some of the crowds and some things close at 8 PM (like the hot chocolate stands unfortunately...) 4) LAVENDER FIELD LIGHTS ARE FREE: Don't quote me on this but the large lavender fields at the front side had no one checking entry tickets. Our tickets were only checked before entering the larger village event area, but this MIGHT change. 5) There are things in their gift shop that are NOT available to order online or are in stock in person but not in stock online. ALSO, there were items that were available at the Christmas village for order that were not available at the main shop. 6) Know that it WILL get crowded so it might be harder to get that perfect IG shot and be sure to dress warmly since it gets HELLA cold. And be ready to walk around lots ! I'll preface this by saying that we did NOT get into the lines for any of the food because they were super long the entire night. Same for the bar, hot chocolate (which they ran out of the souvenir mugs unfortunately), and also for seeing Santa (of course). This was on a Sunday night too if that's any good indicator of how busy it was. The only food we got was the chocolate lavender ice cream. We were give a pretty big scoop put into a cup with a lid, easily shareable between 2 people. Both of us don't really like chocolate ice cream but this was light in flavor and sweetened deliciously with lavender. They have s'mores pits for rent at $25 a pop for about 6 people and horse drawn carriage rides for about $70 and you can get a couple people on that. We didn't do any of that just an FYI. There's so much to look at and they are decked out in festive holiday spirit every corner that you turn. All the workers have different outfits and uniforms based on where they're stationed at (uniforms for the Nutcracker cafe, snowman outfit for Frosty's Frozen Treats, etc). Millions of beautiful lights all over the farm's trees, buildings, photo op areas, along the halls, and of course all over the farm too making a twinkly ocean of lights. Absolutely beautiful and magical. In addition to the lights they have: A Christmas Village: filled with rustic boutiques where you can fill out an order form for item pick up at the Gnome Depot. You can sample the goods there too. Each boutique is uniquely decorated top to bottom with festive cheer. There are shop displays like: J. Clause, Coal Foods, etc and you can even send a letter to Santa ($3 and he responds!). 12 Days of Christmas Shops: 12 local vendors in cottage style shops selling their handmade goods and gifts. One that particularly stood out was the one where it was $5 to make organic prints by smashing flowers and leaves to get their natural pigments to stain. So cool! The main holiday marketplace shop inside the front building has a slew of aromatherapy and beauty products, apparel and accessories, tote bags, candies and sweets (unique things like lavender mints and duck fat caramels), vinegar/olive oils/jams/honeys (that you can sample), other culinary goods like culinary lavender, lavender sugar, and teas, etc. Super easy to find great gifts here. I LOVED the blackberry lavender honey that I got (slaps with cheapo hot choco mix I have at home) and the lavender bath bomb was simple, colorless and smells great. You can get a scavenger hunt board at the info desk where the gingerbread display is. Easy fun for kids, but all we got were 2 small candy canes lol. There's also the opportunity for free pics with Santa, fun activities like finding elves in Elvesville hidden in Santa's special rooms, huge outdoor Jenga and chess etc. The farm also has their friendly lazy doggos hanging around too. Great experience. I'm already planning my next visit here, even if it's just to buy more lavender stuff ! read more

123 Farm has one of the best Christmas experiences I have been to in a long time. For Christmas, the farm is turned into a wonderful Christmas night filled with bright white lights. There are over millions of lights all over the place. This is a great place to take your family to take some photos or just a couple of selfies. This place costs less than $10 bucks to get in per person. You can order tickets on their website to save $3. That is unheard of with all the inflation happening lately. This place opens at 5 pm on Christmas night. I ended up arriving at 4:45 pm and the workers were already letting us in. I suggest coming early. My friend arrived 30 minutes later than us and was stuck in the entry line. What a difference 30 minutes make. Also, coming early helps us enjoy the place without too many people. There weren't that many people and the food lines were not too long. It will get busy. It is a great place to walk around but dress warmly. It was super cold, however, sipping some hot chocolate helps with that. There are food stands that serve drinks (alcohol or non-alcoholic), food, and desserts. My favorite of the night was the mac and cheese with braised beef in sourdough bread. I love dipping the sourdough bread with the cheese. Super yummy. Another favorite of the night was the sourdough pizza. If you're not into lights or food, you can just walk around, check out their 12 stores, visit Santa, complete the maze, find some animals, or just play some life-size chess. You should be able to find something to do. 123 farm also has other events during the year and I can't wait to check that out too. read more

I visited 123 Farms for their Valentine's-themed event on Saturday, February 15, 2025. I prefer to carry cash to help me stay on budget, so when I went to pay for a hot dog and fries, I had my cash ready. However, the staff told me I was "good," so I assumed my food was complimentary. Later, while reviewing my credit card statements, I noticed that one of my credit limits had decreased. After checking my transactions, I saw that 123 Farms had charged my credit card--despite the fact that I had intended to pay with cash. I have no idea how they got my card information, but they charged me without my authorization. I attempted to dispute the charge with my credit card company, but 123 Farms claimed it was approved. Now, I'm being forced to pay for something I never consented to. Needless to say, I won't be returning. read more

I love this place. The lavender lip gloss is my favorite. It wasn't what I imagined, I thought it was going to be a high end restaurant on a farm. I was delighted with the layout, everything was so Instagram worthy. The lights everywhere making it so pretty, I saw a couple engagements happen. The music is so fun! Food is delicious and have something for everyone. Service is fine, not much encounter with employees besides food and purchasing in the stores. read more

This place is nice, relaxing, and pretty well thought out over all. The lavender im sure also contributes to the calm ambiance. The smell, frog croaks, and lighting decoration really brings it to life in the evening. All the food is pretty good and taste very fresh. I personally went crazy for the cheesecake and honey lavender ice cream. The service is nothing special there isn't a ton of interactions since it's order at the counter. Although everyone is super friendly! There is fun for all ages! Tons of lavender products or things to try and even to take home. There is a ton to see from the lavender fields, sourdough shop, tea shop and winery. This is apart from the initial provisional food court with nice seating when you initially enter. There's about 12-16 more shops around in the buildings areas that they have as well with different things to offer lavender based or clothes. This is a good place for family outing, couples date night, or friends night ! 4-6 people could be a good sweet spot as you can share and try many things.picture taking is also easier Definitely still good for larger groups some tables had up to 12 seats Majority of the areas are not very accesible for wheel chairs and there can be a good amount of walking read more

This place is beautiful. Visited in the summer during the lavender festival for the first time and loved this place. Found out they have different events throughout the year and right now they're doing their Christmas event. It's super festive and there are lights everywhere.

123 Farm - Christmas lights in the lavender fields - Farmers Market Near Me - Cherry Valley, California

It's really cute outing for a date night or a family night out. Plenty of picture perfect opportunities. The food was overpriced and underwhelming in my opinion, I get that it's a seasonal experience away from the city and it will be a bit more expensive but food wasn't worth it. I would recommend eating dinner before coming here then grab desserts and drinks. The desserts were delicious, we had lavender honey ice cream $8, single serving of lavender cheesecake $8 and the lavender funnel cake which was $20. They had a lot of small vendors spread out the grounds so make sure to check them out. read more

123 Farm - One of many whimsical seating areas. - Farmers Market Near Me - Cherry Valley, California

Well, we drove 2 hours to this place to see if it lived up to the Instagram photos... and while the tree uplighting and light displays are kinda pretty (nothing along the lines of Mission Inn), it is ridiculously overpriced and very poorly mismanaged. FYI, they didn't have all the string lights up like they did for Lavender Festival--it doesn't look like that for all other events/festivals. This place reminds me of a cheap Temu version of Disneyland. We were there in March 2025 and it was 52 degrees in the evening--this place is 90% outdoors so I would NOT recommend visiting outside of the summer/early fall. There are extension cords galore, lots of rambling little alleys, and poorly lit walkways. The food and drinks were embarrassing... the only thing they do well is the lavender lemonade and selection of honeys. After paying a $20-25 admittance fee for our car, a jar of honey ran us $14, sitting by a gas-operated outdoor fire ran us $30-50/hour, and a 12 oz. plastic cup of lemonade was $8. Oh, and the bathrooms... enter the "abandoned hotel room restroom" if you dare. NEVER AGAIN. Felt like I walked into a crime scene. They have old hotel rooms that appear to be in use by the owners' family or something (bed and furniture were in tact but sheets and bedding were a mess like someone had been sleeping there). They leave the doors open to allow guests to enter and use the en suite bathrooms, which are disgusting. Totally sketch. DO NOT RECOMMEND. A little history on this place... - Established 1894 as a posh little inn/hotel retreat and spa (think Palm Springs style) - Used to have EXCELLENT upscale dining (farm-to-table style) - Sold to current owners in 2018 Since under current management, the hotel rooms/cottages aren't in use. Some hotel rooms have been turned into "small shops" (as in 2-4 shops) or "public restrooms," and the once-beautiful and historic dining room has been turned into a food court seating area. Health inspectors need to seriously check this place out... gives me the creepies--big time! They're trying to generate as much profit as possible with all the new "festivals" like "Tea Festival" that they're introducing outside of the mainstay Lavender Festival in summer. Could be a great place with better management, better service (not all, but some seriously rude little kids work here), and owners who took the time to learn a bit more about the property and community they've invested in. read more

I haven't been here in a good amount of years, but I remember a ton of lavender food options. Now they have all the food central to one cafeteria. Before it was in their courtyard where you could sit out under the trees and eat the food. Lavender donuts, lavender ice cream, All kinds of different food vendors. No more of that. There's about four options on the cafeteria menu and most of them don't even include lavender. Now it's more of a photo opp, but I guess that's just how the times are now. I think a lot of people would appreciate The old nostalgic 123 farm experience. Now any area where there were food options outside there's only shops. No horse for the tour anymore either, a tractor. The workers really look like they didn't want to be there and their attitudes showed it. The girl who did the tour clearly wasn't into it and didn't give any information about the olive trees or anything else as we passed. She was completely disinterested, which was a letdown for my girls because I had built The lavender farm up to them as I took my older children when they were young. Unfortunately, an overpriced disappointment. read more

This was my first time at the farm. I came to the lavender festival and I was pleasantly surprised. The smell of lavender rushes your nose as soon as you get out of your car. The parking was not difficult to navigate and everywhere you turn there was a friendly staff member to help you. I thought everything was reasonably priced. Once the sun set and it became dark the whole farm turns into a fairy tale. I really enjoyed my trip to the farm. read more

I came here for Christmas nights on a Thursday evening and it was quite busy. It was so beautiful driving into the farm and seeing all the lights from afar. I would recommend layering up and wearing mittens/beanie because it was really chilly. We spent about 3 hours here along with dinner. The food was mediocre (buffalo chicken pizza 2.5/5, fig and goat cheese pizza 3.5/5, loaded fries 3/5), but the funnel cake and lavender ice cream was good. We enjoyed grabbing lavender hot chocolate and exploring the same. I love the little house setups and looking to find all the elves -- it is more fun when it's interactive. There was also a large shop filled with lavender everything galore - candles, essential oil, honey, jams, and etc. read more

My sister and I came here during their winter time festival. We did the s'mores activity and then the horse carriage ride. It was actually really fun. I'd come here again. There was lots of food to choose from. I like that they make so many different lavender things. I think the service is really nice but we felt lost a lot of the time because of the crowds. When we did manage to find help they were always really kind. I would definitely come back in the future! It was really pretty and I loved the lights they would do on the big trees. It makes for pretty pictures. read more

It's gorgeous, especially at night with all of the lights. Lots of different little areas to take cute photos. It definitely gets pretty crowded in their little stores but since the property is decently big, it doesn't feel too clustered outside. Drinks are good:) read more

123 Farm - Lavender!! - Farmers Market Near Me - Cherry Valley, California

Really fun events! I've been here twice for the lavender festival and lavender nights and they've been really pretty for dates/hangouts with friends. It was really hot and humid around July (although still a great trip) but around August the weather was perfect. The food is really good as well, which you don't typically find in events like this.A lot of it is lavender themed with quick service. There is also live music at the food area and depending on the performer, really adds to the atmosphere of the whole place. read more

I've been coming to this farm for about 6 years now, and I love coming back. Year after year they change things, so it's always something new and different. I love the ambiance. It's very chic meets farm fresh. It's such a chill vibe. It was a smart move to change the lavender event from day to evening. The days are extremely hot in the valley. Each shop will have something different. Not all products will be at each shop, which is fine because browsing all of the different products is fun. They have increased the seating areas over the years. Seating adds to the enjoyment of sitting outdoors under the shade of trees, string lights, and chandeliers. The food and products are always good because they pride themselves in being an organic farm. They have poster boards where you can learn something new. Just fyi for dog parents, do not bring your dog. I wouldn't even risk bringing a service animal unless they are specialty trained because they have farm dogs. They are very tame around people, but are trained to protect the sheep, llama, and property. I will definitely be back!!! read more

Such a magical wonderland, fun for the whole family. I love the service here, All of the folks working there are so friendly, really giving you that small hometown feel! Oh, and the smell of the lavender it's like Nirvana. I tried the lavender and herb roasted chicken, with the roasted red potatoes, and was not disappointed! I would go back for that dish alone. Lol! The lavender lemonade was also a huge hit. If you're feeling stressed, or need to get away from the hubbub of the city life, I invite you to come enjoy the splendor of the lavender fields, and enjoy the evening ambience when the fields are lit up, it's guaranteed to bring down your anxiety! read more

123 Farm - The lavender fields of legend! - Farmers Market Near Me - Cherry Valley, California

6.10 Review: Came here for the Lavender Festival. As of early June 2023, the lavender fields are not quite in bloom yet, so I'd recommend waiting a bit more before coming over here if that's your main reason. There are a few nice bushes starting to bloom outside the gift shop, but not the "Instagrammable" field you'd be expecting. There are a bunch of cute shops throughout, from lavender-themed goods to lavender-infused food. So you won't be bored coming here even before the lavender is blooming. Notable highlights: + I was actually surprised that the food was good. Now the food is probably more like a 4 out of 5, but for "festival" food, I think they did a great job incorporating dishes with lavender. The pizza was solid, with a nice chew to the dough and flavorful sauce. I also really liked the lavender latte I got, which can be found within the tea shop that's in the shops area (not the main food "court" area). Lavender flavoring stood out pretty well. Note food is on the pricier end... mainly I felt the dessert was a really small portion. Like $5 for a small creme brulee cup. + The 1000 year old oak was really pretty and I liked how they had it lit up with lanterns. + Despite quite a showing of people on the night I came, there was plenty of seating throughout, so I think management did a good job ensuring there was space for everyone. Tips: + Come here early. There will be plenty to do, and you'll want to ensure you get the best lighting if you do want to get shots of lavender. At night, they don't have lights set-up across most of the actual lavender field, so you won't be able to get much of a shot once the sun goes down. And maybe you'll beat the food / bar lines. + Bring cash. While they accept card too, it was kind of wild how long the card system took to transact cards. It could've easily taken a good 5mins for every person in front of us because the card transactions would not go through... Also the lines were really long as a result of the card system not being quick. + They do have restrooms, including some indoors within what seemed to be a makeshift restroom situation in some inn rooms. Expect a bit of a line though. + If you don't want to bother to pay for parking, you could actually park outside on the nearby streets and it's not a long walk in. This was our first time and we purchased our parking ticket already, otherwise I think street parking would've been fine to save a few dollars too. + It got cold and windy for us at night, so unless you're coming on a night where it's for sure gonna be hot, bring a jacket. By the way, if you're lucky, you can find a few tables for indoor seating within the tea/coffee/desert shop. It was a nice warm getaway from the cold for us. read more

If you love wide open spaces, this place is it! Their organic menu is flavored with what they are famous for, lavender. Oh My Yum! If you haven't had lavender lemonade, lavender iced tea, a lavender cupcake or lavender and Herbes de Province chicken, it's a Must! The lavender flavor isn't overwhelming, it's just right! We've visited in the past years and are never disappointed. The lavender fields are a sight to see, the 1000 year old oak tree is stunning, the soft, relaxing music and seating makes for a wonderful afternoon. The buildings are old and are a cool backdrop for photos. We're comfy, old shoes; mostly dirt walkways. Bring a light jacket, a brisk wind blows thru in the late afternoon. Worth the drive every time! read more
