My recent trip last week to Lavender by the Bay was absolutely incredible! Before I even pulled my car in to park, I was welcome by the aroma of lavender permeating the air. I'll be honest.. I've only experienced the smell of lavender through things like Glade Plug-ins and incense (embarrassing I know), so I was totally blown away by and caught off guard by how much I enjoyed it. The visual of the fields is simply breathtaking. The vibrant purple hues stretch literally as far as my eyes could see. If you're terrified of bees, perhaps sit this one out however even with my fear of bugs, I was somehow in a calm, relaxed state the entire time. One of the highlights was their super charming lavender shop. The shelves were filled with an array of lavender-infused products and if you're anything like me, you'll be tempted to smell and buy each one. I bought a few oils for my mom and a bar of natural honey soap for myself. I'm excited to try it! If you haven't been to Lavender by the Bay just yet, do yourself a favor and escape the hustle and bustle of daily life already by coming here! Use this review as your reminder to add Lavender by the Bay to your summer bucket list. read more

I've been a big fan of Lavender by the bay ever since I saw their outpost in the Union Square green market, where they sold various lavender products. Last weekend I had the opportunity to visit their original farm out of East Marion in the midst of the July bloom season. The farm itself is midsized and actually smaller than I expected for the entry price of $13 per person. I felt like it was a bit high since you don't actually get to pick any lavender, and there were no tours or other activities besides taking pictures. I think one can reasonably cover the whole farm in 30 mins, even though your ticket covers a 2 hour timeslot. There were definitely a lot of photo friendly spots. You can certainly get some good photos without a big crowd in the background. The website recommended wearing closed toe flat shoes because the terrain can be hilly and gravelly but I did not have any issues walking around in flip-flops. Parking is a small gravelly area directly outside of the farm and tends to fill up fast. I'd say arrive before 1pm if you want a good spot. Lastly there is a small gift shop with some great products. I picked up a bottle of lavender hydrosol, but would have loved to get a jar of lavender honey as well but it was unfortunately not available until the fall. read more

We just had to see all the French and English Lavender gardens. It was so peaceful with wonderful smells. There are relaxing chairs all throughout the beautiful gardens.

Love purple? A cool place to check out if you are in this neck of the woods. This is a 17 acre farm with over 80,000 lavender plants. A nice place to take some pictures of the lush field of fragrant purple lavender. Make sure to check the website on when the lavender is in full bloom. That's the best time to go for the strong vibrant purple color effect, Otherwise you will see more green of the lavender plant, which is still nice but not as pretty. The best summer bloom is typically in June and July, which is also dependent upon how much it rains. Cool brightly colored adirondack chairs and loungers are scattered though out the fields, that make a great photo opportunity. For those that don't want to hang out in the beating sun to take pictures, in the middle of the field, there is a larger covered wood deck with bench seating. On the property is also a cute little store that sells a variety of lavender products. From live plants, cool t-shirts, little scented satchets, even lavender honey (seasonal and limited). Everything is lavender focused. Bathroom. They have a luxury trailer with several stalls plus running water and air conditioning. Final note: You might spend only an hour here so have some other activities in mind, for after your visit here. During prime bloom time, you might want to get here as early as possible, to avoid the crowds. Also there is a $9 admission fee. read more

Lavender by the Bay is an interesting diversion for about an hour or so if you're in the area. For many people, the main reason to visit this place is to take some personal and family photos in the lavender fields while they are in full bloom -- from about mid-June to early July. During these times, Lavender by the Bay charges admission to the lavender fields for anyone aged 12 and up: $9 on the weekend and holidays, and $7 on the weekdays -- plus tax. The farm has an air-conditioned trailer for its bathrooms. Do consult the farm's website for information updates on the best days to visit. Arrive early to minimize the presence of other people in your wide-angle photos. The lavender fields aren't actually continuous fields of lavender, but rows of separate lavender bushes. They weren't quite in full bloom when we visited in late June, but there was still enough to create the illusion that we were in a beautiful purple sea. read more

All of the photos are accurate. It has always been a photo op of a place because the lavender is so beautiful and it's such a serene place so I'll just give you the facts and tips on each location since I've been at both and that'll help you decide which one to go to. Land: The Calverton one is much larger than the one in East Marion. A ton more acreage and a few more areas to sit down than the other location. Animals: Both are dog friendly but the Calverton one has a chickens on their land so be mindful of that when you bring your pet. Giftshops: The prices are the same but the shop in East Marion has a physical retail shop that you can go into and houses more lavender products like lotions, candles, pillows etc. The shop in Calverton is just a roped in outdoor area in front of the lavender field that sells mostly cuts and has a smaller selection of retail products by comparison. It's less of a "boutique" experience. Areas: not one area is more scenic than the other. Both are pretty deserted and if you wanted to spend a day in the area, you'd have to drive elsewhere to shop or eat. The Riverhead outlets are nearby the Calverton location but also there's a cute BBQ shop a little more than 5 minutes away and a wonderful nursery that you can wander in if you wanted to continue a nature-themed trip. If you were in East Marion, depending on when you visit and what time, the neighboring places are closed pretty early or they don't open till later so the next best town to go to is in Greenport which is fine cause it's heading back West, so it won't be out of your way really. And they've got a lovely little village for you to enjoy before you head all the way back home. Hope this helps! read more

It was in the early July timeframe that we stumbled onto this sizeable farm growing Lavender plants everywhere. There were acres of purple fields with wandering visitors from all parts of the world taking snap selfies. The visual experience was surreal in some way since the Lavender purple farm seem to appear out of nowhere in a very peaceful setting. It was wonderful to be standing in this picturesque purple encompassing farm of Lavender. After being isolated for so long because of the pandemic, this was exactly what the doctor ordered. One could experience positive energy waves that projected themselves from the field of purple. It was just wonderful! Meanwhile, the lavender that has been cut is available for sale along with other lavender produced products. Definitely worth the visit especially before it once again becomes very crowded with visitors. read more

Finally I was able to come to this place. Been waiting since last year to wait for the Bloom. Check the website or sign up with email for updates on the bloom for the English and the French Lavender. This place is located alllll the way to the top of North Fork in Marion. Above Greenpoint. Be prepared that it will be crowded on weekends especially during blooming season. I mean - me and my friends weren't thinking that maybe we would miss the crowd if we went early in the morning but NOPE - it was already crowded by the time we got there . And it was worse when we left. Maybe consider coming during the week for better photo ops and a more relaxing visit. Otherwise - it will be hard to get good photos without other people in them , or sitting in the Adirondack chairs or even the line in the gift shop even tho it was fast. Entrance on weekends/holidays is $9 per person and $6 during the week. Bathrooms are porta potties. Lots of parking - gravel road . Also parking along the sides of the street opposite from the entrance. There are a ton of bees but we were told that they don't bother people and they were right. They are too busy all up on the lavender lol. Thank god I wore pants tho - I felt more comfortable. There are lots of gift options . Sachets , candles , pillow sprays. I was a lil bummed that my pillow spray was not that flagrant as sprays I've bought other places . I will use it but I was a little disappointed. You will spend one - maybe two hours here if you take you're time. Good advice would be to make a day or weekend out of it in North Fork. Hit some wineries - check out Greenpoint or Riverhead. Or go to Montauk. I would come back another time maybe if I was out here during the week. Nonetheless- I was able to scratch this place off my to-do list and it was definitely a plus for my weekend out in North Fork :) read more

Lavender by the bay in East Marion is a favorite in my family. I recently discovered that they also sell their beautiful products at farmers markets in the NYC area where I live. Last week I purchased several holiday gifts on their website; they had great holiday sale prices and the delivery was very easy (I even had to request an address correction and they were immediately responsive). I highly recommend! read more

After years of wanting to come here it finally happened this weekend. This is a cute place you want to come check out at least once in your lifetime. It's probably not a come back every year though. It's pricey for just walking through the field at $10 a person. It's definitely a nice photo op though. But I wish admission included picking out some lavenders like other fields .It was pretty and smelled incredible. You only really need like 15 mins to walk through really.The shop seemed cute but $$$. I am happy we checked it out though. It's definitely super cute. read more

I came here on a Sunday morning with a group of 5 people. Because of COVID-19, they have a limited number of timed tickets to purchase online. The times were 9am, 11am, 1pm, and 3pm. It's $12 for East Marion field and $10 for Calverton field. The East Marion field was larger (17 acres, 80,000 plants) so we decided to go there. You get a maximum of 1.5 hours. If you get there earlier, they let you in though. You need to buy it as soon as they release the tickets (week to week) or else it sells out fast. There was less people especially if you go earlier in your timeslot. We spent one hour here and it was enough time for us to take all our pictures. The store sells fresh and dried lavender but it was pretty pricey. There's no bathroom at the farm due to COVID-19 though. It's a bit far from NYC but it's nice getaway during COVID-19 times. read more

Let me preface this: although living on Long Island, I'm not its biggest fan. Crazy, I know? But when I heard that amidst the endless vineyards that dot the North Fork, there was a sprawling, fragrant and absolutely charming lavender field tucked away... well, that may just swing my mind. Once I found out about the fields, I got online and saw on their social media that it was likely the last weekend the French lavender would be in bloom, so, with everyone else unavailable to trek out there, I made the drive myself and wandered around for about an hour in the fields. That's all I could really handle as my eyes got a bit itchy. So I suggest packing allergy medicine, just in case. This farm is charming and it's wonderful to see friendly bees hard at work. Lots of people were enjoying the stunning vistas and were just having a good time taking beautiful and silly Instagram pictures. Everyone just seemed at peace and it was nice to witness that. I bought 3 sachets and put one in my car, placing it right in front of my AC, so as I drove throughout the day I was hit with waves of wonderful lavender. I hope to return next year, earlier in the season and support again. read more

Lavender is a lovely color, but it's also a flower used for many things (you probably knew this). But did you know about the field of lavender being grown out on Long Island (maybe I got you on that one)? Regardless, it's a sight worth seeing, though be sure to visit at the right time. I say that last statement because my girlfriend and I visited Lavender by the Bay at the end of the summer. It was actually a great time to go from a crowd standpoint as it was relatively empty and gave us a more casual and relaxing experience through the fields. The cover charge for said fields was also waived (due to lateness in the season) which was a nice topper. The negative about the end of the summer? Not a lot of lavender. You'll walk through plenty of areas where you can check this Yelp page, Facebook, Snapchat (pick a social media outlet!) and see people wading through that flowery flower. But come towards the end of the summer, and things will be more scarce. There's still plenty of bees though so be weary of that. If you truly like your lavender it's worth the trip just to see some of what they've got growing. Plus, you can purchase several lavender-esque items (soaps, candles) as well as actual lavender (who would've thought!). We didn't get anything as we both learned that, though pretty, the smell isn't entirely for us (gasp!). Overall, Lavender by the Bay is a time sensitive spot to visit, but totally worthy of a trip especially if coming when the fields are filled. Despite that scent revelation, I'd probably return with my girlfriend just to get the full experience. Until then, I'll keep sniffin' lavender scents to see if I can grow more of a liking to it. read more

Decided to come as a girls day hangout and the pictures on social media looked so pretty. We got there around 12:30 and it wasn't as packed as we thought it might be (maybe because it was 90 degrees and hot). Lavenders were in full bloom so it was pretty. However, warning- if you're afraid of bugs and bumble bees, gather up your courage for the pics or just stay on the path for pictures. read more

Such a beautiful place to visit but it gets so crowded on weekends! I was glad we visited the farm last season but I probably won't be back again. If you've never been I still recommend it but try and go during the week if you can. As for the farm store, if it's lavender honey you're after then note that they sell this after the harvest is done. You can also get it at Union Square green market. read more

All I can say is the power of social media brought me here. There are some amazing photos people have taken here and with a bit of photo editing and filters, you have picture perfect. Came with my friends on a Monday ($7/person) and it was probably the best decision we've made. I can't imagine how pack this place is on the weekends ($9/person) during blooming season. The field would not seem huge when it's crowded and not all sections are open. There are different lavenders (English, French) with different peak times. We caught the second week of blooming French lavenders. The scent was incredible. It felt like the smell followed us back home. Bumblebees were spotted everywhere but don't be afraid because they are harmless. Tips for great photos: Lavenders are planted in long straight rows and some rows are close to each other. Find those narrow, tighter rows, then kneel down and have the photographer stand about 3 rows away from you, diagonally. Portrait mode or wide angle lens are recommended. Good luck! read more

A huge lavender farm on the tip of North Fork. It takes less than 2 hours to get here from the city without any traffic. I wanted to come last year, but we missed the bloom, so we waited til this year. Make sure you check their website - they update daily on when English/French lavender blooms occur, so you know which weeks are good to go. It's usually around the end of June/beginning of July. We went the first weekend of July this year, and while there were a lot in bloom, there were a lot that were already harvested and scattered dead patches already. The window is so short! To be honest, we were all pretty underwhelmed.. especially with the $9 entrance fee. It wasn't that crowded when we arrived around 12-1pm. There were some crowds near the heavily bloomed areas, but it wasn't so bad that you couldn't take pictures ! It's a cool activity if you've never been to anything like it, but just be prepared for the whole farm to not be picturesque/in bloom. Afterwards, head to the shop where they have a bunch of lavender goodies to buy (oils, soaps, bouquets, etc). We came home with some dried bouquets that still smell good a few weeks out! read more

Lavender is for protection and luck in Wiccan tradition. This review is based on shopping from their website. Unfortunately, I am unable to travel the long-haul day trip to eastern Suffolk County but their lavender can be taken to me in NYC. I love my dried English lavender bunches for $12.00 which was packed carefully well in bubble wrap and then wrapped in purple tissue paper to maintain the lavender theme. It appeared freshly cut amid its dried state but vivid in color and fragrant. Their website is limited in products for purchasing as I was hoping for body butter, lotion, shampoo, and night rejuvenate moisturizer, and facial toner. I wish I can visit their lavender farm to view their variety of lavender bushels from English to French. I would consume most of my photo SDHC card memory space from snapping at lavender. I need protection, luck and serenity which lavender provides. read more

Lavender by the Bay is a a gorgeous fragrant lavender farm located on the north eastern most tip of Long Island. How to have a good time: 1) Come with friends. They make the ~ 2 hour drive (from Queens) pass by quickly and very fun! (Thank you guys!) 2) Come early. The later you are, the more you have to wait. In East Marion, there are two lanes of traffic and most of the traffic got worse when we were 3 miles from the Lavender Farm. We left around 10 am, got there at 1pm, with one stop along the way. The last mile took 10- 15 minutes for us to get through. 3) Park in the Lavender by the Bay parking lot. If the lot is full (which was in our case), park on one of the side streets. Make sure you read the signs for street parking. The one we parked on didn't have any parking restrictions. 4) Admission fee was $5. Bring cash. Also a fresh bundle of Lavender is $8. You should definitely get something.The French lavender was gorgeous and fragrant. It was so nice to bring back this bundle of beautiful lavender! 5) Check with LBTB's IG and Facebook page. Lavender season is 3-4 weeks in July. Plan accordingly. English lavender was shorter, had larger flowers and bloomed a brighter lighter purple. The English lavender was located in the south field, furthest from the entrance. Most of the English lavender was harvested. But there was fields and fields of the French lavender left. Gorgeous! 6) Enjoy! Take a ton of pictures. Expect a lot of people there (tourists and New Yorkers). Smell the aromatic purple shrubs and relax in the lounge chairs in the southern fields. There was no time limit, so just enjoy! read more

Pros and Cons - $12 to just walk around lavender fields and not get to pick any? - A lot of photo ops. - I didn't smell lavender in the air at all. Only when I rubbed some betwixt fingers. - The only things working were the bumble bees. Staff were on their phones the whole time and did little to add to the ambiance. - Enveloping purple color is just magnificent. - Only a small souvenir stand. - Pretty far out on the Island. Sorry peeps. I don't mean to disapoint but it isn't worth the trip. I was able to paruse the fields, shop at the little farm stand and take some glamours shots amongst the lavander in 10 minutes. I was so bummed because I was looking forward to visiting this place for a while. I get the "small business Long Island" and being expensive but there wasn't even much of an experience. Not a memorable time. read more

We visited in the off-season, so there wasn't much lavender left in the fields, but I can only imagine what it looks like in bloom! However, we were still able to sit in the fields in the purple deck chairs and enjoy the sun and the clear blue skies. Will definitely be making a trip here next year so we can see the fields in their full glory. There is also a little shop where you can purchase goods made from the harvested lavender. Didn't purchase anything this time, but I will whenever I'm back! read more

I've been here twice - once during peak season to stroll the fields, and, most recently, last week while out on the North Fork. Both visits were wonderful, and not at all crowded since I came on weekdays. During harvest season, the air is fragrant and the fields are vibrant with blossoming plants; it's a nice (and relaxing) opportunity to amble around and enjoy the setting for a while. They've also got a sweet little gift shop with everything from dried lavender bunches, sachets, lavender honey, and soap to tons of live lavender plants and fresh herbs. Last week, I purchased several pots of lavender (English, French) and can't wait to plant them! read more

There are few things in our life that we love doing seasonally . Being in the fields whether fruits orchard , vegetables farm , flowers fields for whatever reason is one of the things I enjoyed doing most. For the season, being in this lavender fields was such a pleasurable getaway. This place is the only farm in the county that grows lavender. Gladly enjoyed its full bloomed lavenders. We went on the peak weekend. I heard that normally flower blooms from mid June to the first 2 weeks of July. Got to remember that for next visit. I was disappointed that there were only two kinds in their fields. The field is not that big as I am expecting. Oh well, I love what I saw, the French lavender. I was told that the English lavender which went blooming late June might have a second blooming on late summer. I would love to come back for that. The $8 admission is worth as you can get any item from their store in exchange of it, need to present the ticket to get credited. Each item is absolutely pricey. I ended up buying a bunch of lavenders for the amount and appreciated the maintenance note card they have included. I got carried away of all the merchandise they were selling that I bought an additional item for gifting. They closed the fields at 4:30 pm. We regretted coming in very late. My husband was not able to take much photos as he wanted. The good thing of coming in later for the day, we avoided a huge crowd , even got a parking spot right there by the gate. The place is about 2 hrs away from the city. Worth the trip as there are nearby places we visited after. The vineyard and the harbor. It had been a good day trip. I'll come back and bring along some girlfriends . read more

Lavender by the Bay - French lavender is currently blooming - Pick Your Own Farms Near Me - East Marion, New York

Came here during the summer of 2015. If you are going during the end of the season, make sure to check the website to see if they still have lavender bushes because they do cut them to bring to farmer's markets to sell. The admission price they charge can be used as store credit at the gift shop. Make sure to save your receipt! It's hot coming here in the Summer, but there are a lot of bees around the lavenders. The bees don't bother you if you don't bother them. But if you want to be precautious, then wear long pants. The drive is quite long from NYC since it is all the way towards the Northeast end of Long Island. Should definitely make a stop at North Fork on your way. There are a lot of wineries along the drive that you can probably stop at. read more

Of course lavender has that pretty purple pigment, and awesome aroma, fantastic fragrance, piercing perfume... I'll stop the alliteration- What I love about the lavish lavender field is that they keep bees! Think of that naturally scented lavender honey! Yum. So anyway, the fields are nice to visit and take pix and all that jazz, but what grows and goes on there is more important to me. They've got both English and French lavender (yes there's a bit of a difference, but I'll let the sweet lady in the shop explain all that to you) I like to pick some up and dry it out, you can freshen up the room (I'm a straight male, ladies) with the sprigs in bundles; I also save and use the bits of lavender to brew some badass lavender and blueberry tea. I've added it to coarse salt, vanilla cake, and random alcoholic bevvies and it's always a nice light tough; just be sure not to use too much, it's a strong oil. Take a little and rub it between your palms, cup your hands and take a nice deep breath to get that robust, relaxing redolence (sorry I said I'd stop) They've got a shop full of lavender stuff not just a field to take your instagram selfies in and afterwards you can hit greenport/shelter island, some farm stands; make a day of it and migrate back westward with all the supplies to make a good meal and your lady happy. (I'm also available, ladies) Going out east has always been great and I'm super happy I discovered this place over the years, well worth the trip. If you buy a plant or at least some bundles you'll have plenty to do whatever your purple Heart desires. I suggest throwing some in some sort of sac, be it burlap, or linen: anytime you want a dose give it a quick squeeze n sniff. Pssst, Fellas: I enjoy how much women love lavender; so my dudes, keep it around the house just in case. Trust me. Take an interest in things us men wouldn't normally, learn to use it, it's a solid investment. read more

They also have a shop with many items to purchase from lavender bunches, oils, sachets, and honey. Enjoy a great afternoon at this Lovely lavender field. read more

You really have to time your visit right, checking lavender by the bay's social media accounts to see when the lavender is in bloom. We came on a weekend that had the French lavender on bloom and the English ones had just been harvested. Still had plenty of photo opportunities! The field is pretty big with plenty of lavender to see if in bloom. Funny punny signs all about too. The entrance fee is $8 a person (during bloom season) and $1 goes to a local charity. They have a shop at the entrance with plenty of lavender things to satisfy your wallet's itch. Be sure to grab a $3 cup of lavender ice tea it's quite refreshing. Bathroom situation? Portapotties.. and for the love of god if you're visiting please FLUSH. All in all with a visit to the north fork for the awesome Instagram photos and the delightful smell of lavender. Another plus is after the field hit up one of the numerous wineries out there. read more
