I save the word "magical" for places that truly deserve it. Tantivy Farm is one of those places…read more This magical place is one where you can walk through lavender fields, eat lavender ice cream, shop for lavender products, and meet some farm animals. It's a family-owned farm run by super nice people, and it's a great place to visit when you're in the Lexington area. You can explore more than a thousand lavender plants of 20 different varieties here. I visited during the off season, when the lavender bushes were spent and dormant, but there were a few sprigs here and there, and even so, the rest of the garden was lush and beautiful. If you want to experience the lavender fields in full bloom, you'll want to visit in late spring through summer. Around the end of May to the end of June is when they do U-pick lavender, where you can pick your own lavender bouquets. The owners also produce and sell lavender products, dried and fresh wreaths, lavender food (including lavender ice cream!). Friendly farm animals also live on the farm, and you might be able to meet and greet them. These are the most content and happy animals I've encountered maybe ever. Could it be because they live on a lavender farm and they're absorbing the calming vibes of this medicinal plant? Most likely it's because the owners are super awesome and treat the animals like family. It's great to see. The farm is open May to December.

I have eaten probably 2000+ ice cream cones in my lifetime and I can with great pride and admiration say that the ice cream here at the Critzer Family Farm is the very single best I've ever had in my entire life. I had a blackberry cone, crushed it, and immediately went back for a strawberry and really just wow, no words to describe how good and fresh it is. Taste, texture, temp, all PERFECT. The friendliness of the staff and just the whole atmosphere of the farm on a nice sunny spring day and those two cones really came together for me in truly the most divine ice cream moment of my life. 10/10. A perfect score. Unbeatable - the gold standard of ice cream everywhere.

They are obviously doing something right, as Bahrat told me that they often sell twelve gallons on a Saturday. His wife Shashma prepares a lovely Poha. I watched her carefully squeezing lemon juice over the "potato rice" with seasoned peanuts, tomatoes, cilantro, coconut and pomegranate seeds. As I dug into it I even found itty bitty mildly hot peppers, and what I think were tiny tender lime leaves. On a quick glance this appears to be simple Indian street food which it is, but once you sit down and savor the complexity of flavors you realize that no, it is perfect Indian food brimming with authenticity.

The staff greeted us with warm smiles and helpful tips, making the experience feel welcoming from the start. Their marketplace has a wide selection of apple varieties, most of them are ready for sampling. While wandering the rows, we stumbled upon a few new favorites--crisp, sweet, and just the right amount of tart. If you're looking for a family‑friendly outing with fresh fruit, friendly faces, and plenty of tasty discoveries, Chiles Peach Orchard is a must‑visit. Notes: This maybe not in their control - lantern flies were everywhere, they don't bite, but they are invasive bugs, be careful not to get hitchhikers. Also, they sometimes add an admission fee on specific picking days, so check their website beforehand to avoid surprises.

As summer was ending, we decided to stop by Chile's Peach Orchard…read more We were excited to try the peach soft serve and peach donuts. The soft serve was pretty good. It had some peach flavor, but honestly, nothing out of the ordinary. I was told the peach donuts were just all right, not as standout as others (apple cider donuts). What did stand out was the peach Bellini, which was really good, especially because it was such a hot day. We wanted to check out the peach orchard, but unfortunately, they had sold out for the day, so we weren't allowed to go. It was probably around two or three in the afternoon, so we were surprised they had shut down so early. We did enjoy the views and live music, which was really cool. Definitely check out their weekly events!
