I love Caroline and her family! Their lavender farm is Beautiful and the Manor is so awesome. Me and my girls loved the tea party it was so fun!

We came here for a dinner in the lavender farm on Saturday night and had a great time. It was only about a 40 minute drive from my location in Tucson. It was raining earlier in the day but they were able to keep the event happening on time. They had a buffet style dinner set up. They served pork meatballs for an appetizer which I could not try since I don't eat pork. I didn't see any water. It would have been cool if they had a lavender infused water option. They had earl grey tea (I can't have caffeine) and a delicious lavender wine spritzer. The wine spritzer was really weak though (alcohol content). They ran out of salad so we only got a couple bites. I wish they had made more. It looked really good with blueberries and strawberries. I wasn't really a fan of the main dish (pasta with chicken). The chicken was dried out and it wasn't warm by the time we got our food. The carrots were really good. We took pictures in the lavender farm and they turned out great. There were lots of bees in the lavender field but they didn't bother us. Expect porta potties and a short walk between the dinner tables and the lavender farm. They also had woman playing guitar for the dinner.

I have not yet been to the farm- but I recently attended a tea and bread tasting hosted by them at the Manor in downtown Tucson and it was MAGICAL! While I usually have the grace of a rhinoceros; I felt transported to another time and place and felt like royalty! Picking out our own tea cups and tea pot was so special too- I adored how everything was mismatched yet looked so seamless. We were offered three different loose leaf teas and three sourdough breads (made by a local cottage baker even)! For their first event like this- I thought it went really well and everyone seemed to enjoy themselves. Just a reminder though- this is a historic manor with no AC so the summer months will be warm, and early morning events will be your friend!

Bloom time at the lavender farm is magical! The blooms, colors, butterflies, bees, relaxing smell of lavender..,coupled with whimsical art through out the park, benches, picnic spots, beautiful shaded oak trees... makes a summer morning so pleasant and beautiful. During bloom time you are able to cut your own lavender for a small fee or sign up for a wreath making class or a yoga class along with a bunch of other events and activities at the farm. And of you miss bloom season- you can still enjoy a picnic or a stroll connecting with nature all around you. If you dislike or can't tolerate the outdoors or need a lavender fix the rest of the year- they have a store on 4th that also offers products, tea parties and very soon will also have activities such as lavender wreath making. Farm work is hard and this is a working farm and a labor of love - support local businesses and art!

Went for their lavender picking and wreath making class! All the staff were kind and helpful, and it was such a fun experience! The lavender picking was well organized and it was so fun to see all the different types of lavender they grow (though you only get to pick one kind). The wreath making class was also a good experience, and had made for beautiful and amazing smelling decor! Would definitely recommend checking them out if you have the chance!

I can't speak enough good things about the lovely lavender farm. I took a lavender wreath class and it was such a great time. We got to sit under a giant oak and create our own wreath the way we wanted to. The owner was incredibly friendly and helpful. We sipped lavender lemonade and created a wreaths. After the owner let us know we could borrow some parasols and walk through the lavender fields to take some photos. I also ordered some lavender cookies and scones and they were amazing!

This place is beautiful! They've paid attention to every little detail, and there is something new to see wherever you look. A very peaceful place for a picnic or to sit and read. Worth the venture up to Oracle!

Such a lovely place here in Arizona. Group of us decided to head down to Oracle AZ, took us about 2 hours drive from Phoenix. We prepaid for the entrance fee and picnic basket in advance. They do accept cash but paying in advance will save you money. I picked lavender chicken sandwich for my branch. It comes with lavender lemonade, lavender cookies and lavender potato salad in a pretty picnic basket. They have a plenty of tables available and we enjoyed chatting for hours over nice lunch near the lavender fields. Call ahead to make sure lavender is at full blooms. They also sell lavender goods at a pop up gift shop. I purchased several lavender goods including culinary buds, lotion bars, essential oils and so on. They shared a lavender syrup recipe and I can't wait to make my own lavender latte at home.

I've been to Life Under the Oaks several times over the years and it's been amazing to watch their progress. The owner, Carolyn, John and her family have put their heart and soul into building up the farm and it shows! With classes, events and open farm days, there are plenty of different ways to enjoy a visit to the farm. I've taken several workshops, the lavender wreath and wand ones being my favorites. I've purchased several products from the boutique and they've all been lovely. I highly recommend a trip to the farm, especially during the summer as a way to beat the heat, but also to experience bloom season! It's cooler in Oracle than Tucson, so get there early (classes start at 8) and wear your sunscreen, a hat and closed toed shoes.

We visited the farm on Sunday for the U pick day. We were greeted at the check in and quickly headed to the lavender fields. Where we were met with Famer John (? Sorry I wish I remembered his name!) and he gave us further instructions on how to carefully pick our own lavender bundles! The fields were gorgeous! So many beautiful pollinators were fluttering around the flowers! My oldest daughter had a blast watching the butterflies! After we picked our bundles we grabbed our lunch baskets! We ordered our lunch a few days ahead on their website and were excited to try all the lavender infused goodies! With tired babies we ended up taking our lunch home to enjoy but if you wanted to eat in property they had tons of tables around the farm to relax on! Overall the farm was beautiful and the food was delicious!

It was nice, but not an experience that I would do again. I appreciate the effort that was made for the meal. But it felt a bit overpriced.

I took the Lavender wreath class. It was fun and I ended up with a beautiful wreath for my house. I would highly recommend it.

Ghost Ranch Exotics came up on my Tik Tok and I was immediately influenced. I signed up for the…read morecapybara experience, which lets you go into their pen with one additional person before incurring an additional cost. The whole experience is quite entertaining, from before you step in and can hear the peacocks vocalizing to when you leave and get a brief chance to interact with other large animals. The drive over there is through some unpaved roads, so I would recommend taking the drive in something that isn't a sedan if at all possible. It is possible given that I saw other smaller cars on the roads over, but I can't imagine it's fun or great for your vehicle. To be truly prepared for the amount of dust and grime that is on your car after the drive alone, I would allot time for a car wash after everything is said and done. I will caveat that the price point is steep for an encounter that ended up being under thirty minutes, so I saved this for a special occasion. Regardless, if this is within your budget, you are pretty much guaranteed a good time.

Have you ever wanted to cuddle with capybaras, pet a porcupine, or galavant with goats? If so you…read morehave come to the right place! Our tour guide was one of the owners I believe, and you can tell she really cares for each and every animal here at the farm. There are capybaras, emus, tortoises, Patagonian maras, porcupines, warthogs, and many goats just to name a few! They all are pretty friendly so it was a cool experience to pet and give food to each animal. It was an educational tour as well since our guide had a lot of information about each animal to tell us. We went on a locals day where child admission was free with an adult ticket. Check their website for other days if you are a local. There was another day where they were bringing in a fennec fox which would be another awesome experience. The farm is a bit out of the ways if you are traveling from the Phoenix area so be sure to leave enough travel time to get there before your tour. It took us about 90 minutes driving to get there. There's not much around the farm either so be prepared. There's a small gift store near the entrance which sells all sorts of capybara laser cut wood items, water bottles and stickers. Prices at the gift store were reasonable and who can't resist a coaster that says Capyboba or a wooden snack board that says Snackybara?
