Some friends and I were tired of always meeting up over brunch and wanted to try another activity in the summertime, so we booked a lavender picking session in June and had a great time! It's such a serene and peaceful place and smells delicious when the lavender is in bloom. We had about half an hour to peruse the field and pick lavender (both the English and French varieties) at our leisure with baby goats roaming about! Adrienne was great; she taught us the correct way to harvest and dry lavender and was really attentive, plus the sessions were capped at 6-8 people so it was definitely a little slice of serenity and not too crowded. They also wrapped up our buds and provided some instructions when we left, highly recommend visiting if you want to do something with a small group of friends/family! read more

Goat yoga was such a fun experience with a wonderful instructor and staff! Would definitely recommend to others. They also sell other lavender based products in their onsite shop. read more

We love their products - particularly the lip balm made with lavender, peppermint and vanilla. Always buy several so we can have them by the bed, in the office and on the go! They ship or you can order ahead and pick it up or in the summer months buy in person. read more

I purchased 3 plants in January for pick-up in May. It was an effortless pick-up and the plants are lovely! I will come back.

The Mad Lavender farm is such a special place that is thoughtfully cared for by it's special caretakers. We have visited a few times now and attended sound healing & a cacao ceremony hosted by Leslee Penny and have had so many connected experiences with the people, the land and of course, the lavender. Thank you for sharing this land and loving intent with us. read more

Can't wait to go back when the lavender is bloomed. Very cute place to stop, check out their little store and the goats on site.

Unfortunately, this is not the year to go to lavender farms in New Jersey. The lavender was so scarce due to the excessive rains. The owner told us that they're trying to figure how they can overcome this problem in order to have thriving lavender. We did see a beautiful purple flowering plant. Check out my pics. At first, I thought it was lavender. One of the owners told us it wasn't lavender. It was called a Nepeta Plant. I checked out Nepeta. It's AKA is "Catmint" like Catnip (same effect). An Indian teepee stands behind the Nepeta plant. One can sign up for a goat yoga sessions in here. The farm has a small souvenir shop with (of course) everything lavender scented- candles,room mist and a few other items. The dried lavender we purchased barely had any scent. Hopefully, the NJ lavender farm owners can figure out how to make their lavender farms thrive. Mad Lavender Farm is located way way off the beaten path at 452 County Road 579 Milford, NJ. You travel 78 West towards Pennsylvania. After that, you travel down very narrow winding roads to get to this destination. read more

This is such a quaint farm! My friend and I attended goat yoga here and had a blast. The goats are adorable and playful. We all had so much fun playing with them and taking lots(!!) of pictures. We even got to hold them and bottle feed them. It was an all-around great experience and it's impossible to not walk out of there with a huge smile on your face! While the lavender crop isn't doing well this year due to the weather, it's still a great place to visit and check out their different lavender products. We tried the lavender lemonade which was good, as well as the lavender shortbread cookies which were out of this world! Definitely a must try. read more

We love this place! We have been going to Mad Lavender every June since 2017 and it has been so amazing to watch this beautiful little spot evolve over time. Adrienne and Don are the nicest, most welcoming people and do a wonderful job of making you feel right at home. You can sign up for picking lavender, baby goat yoga and more. Every trip, we are sure to visit the Little Shop and bring home all sorts of soaps, candles and other lavender infused products, made with love by local artisans. This is a "must do" experience in June/July and we highly recommend! Oh, and don't forget to taste the lavender lemonade made fresh daily! Did I mention baby goats??? read more

Just an enjoyable experience for a late Sunday morning! Adrienne is a wonderful host/guide/gift shop operator. The layout of the entire farm is well thought, beautiful, and comfortable. We enjoyed picking the lavender, watching the goats, walking the labyrinth, tasting the lavender honey ice cream, saying 'hi' to the chickens and simply taking in the setting. read more

I've been wanting to try Goat Yoga for over 1 year now. I'm so glad I booked the partner yoga class for my daughter (she's 12 ) and I. It's a little over an hour drive from where we live and it was totally worth it. The farm is so quaint, the class was intimate and the instructor was great! The goats were so cute, you have the opportunity to feed them, and at one point I had 2 goats on my Back! Lol.. It was a wonderful experience to have, especially with my daughter. Afterwards, we went shopping in the the tiny shop on the farm, where you can buy homemade lavender items. What a memorable experience! I will definitely be back to check out future events. If you're looking for a cool place to take a goat yoga class don't hesitate to sign up at Mad Lavender Farm! read more

My first time here. Attended the Sound bath & goat yoga event. Goat yoga has been on my list for a couple of years. I'm glad they are still open & putting together these events. Event was held outdoors in open air as opposed to the teepee. Plenty of open space to maintain social distance. Great vibe. Very welcoming. Peaceful. Awesome products. 100% recommend. I'll be back for future events. read more

Our family drove from Brooklyn to hang out with baby goats and it was one of the best and most memorable family trips of our lives. The owners were so welcoming and great to chat with. The baby goats range from 1-2 months old and have such the sweetest and gentlest temperaments and cuddled in our arms (we bought two 20 min time slots). Our 8 year old son was in pure bliss. Adrienne, one of the owners, is a very talented artist and you will see her amazing artwork all throughout the farm. We bought a bunch of lavender goodies like misting spray, tshirt, lavender honey and lip balm. Can't wait to come back next year!!! read more

So much fun! Forget yoga, this is get comfortable and play with baby goats! The instructor was very sweet and down to earth. She led the class to experiment with participants to make a bridge for baby goats to romp over you, or the group posed to make L O V E (super cute). The farm is large, and is home to chickens too. I loved the out door sink area in a rustic hut and of course lavender soap. There is a small gift shop for snacks and toiletries and tshirts. Beautiful sunflowers. Outdoor portable potty. Bring a second pair of socks! Great place for a girls day out or couples date. She also can host small parties. read more

This was truly an amazing experience!!! I've done yoga with goats before at another farm, but this was so much better. Maximum of 10 people only and we are inside an enclosed area in a circle. So, you will spend an hour surrounded by goats. If you are a hardcore Yogi, this will be more about the animals than the yoga, which is what I expected anyway and why I chose to do this. Our instructor was super nice and everyone in class too. The goats were beyond adorable. They'll hop on your back, nibble on your hair, shirt, but just an amazing time overall. There is also a little shop where you can buy candles, soaps, etc. And of course pick your own lavender. I also love that they are open on Sundays, cuz I work on Saturdays. I'll definitely be returning before the summer ends and worth the 50 minute drive each way. read more

I hosted a bachelorette party here this past weekend where we had a goat yoga session followed by a picnic. Even though the weather forecast wasn't good, they set up a tent for our group so that the rain wouldn't impact our time. The farm was beautiful and the staff was extremely welcoming and accommodating. Everyone had a great time and we will definitely be back in the future for some of the other events and workshops the farm has to offer. read more

The farm was the perfect place for a heart mantra workshop. So beautiful and peaceful. Love this place!

My friend and I did the goat yoga and sound bath. It was a ton of fun. The yoga is done under a tree so it was very cool and the goats were super friendly. Do not bring a yoga mat you love because the goats will eat it, but they have spare mats you can use. They will also nibble on your clothes so be prepared for that. Lots of good photo opportunities and the sound bath is incredible. Highly recommend. read more

This farm is a peaceful oasis and an enriching experience; it's so awesome to visit this unique farm and pet the baby goats and relax near fields of lavender. They have a nice little shop with some unique products like lavender ice cream and the staff is very friendly and helpful to customers. I have not come for a class or event but would enjoy this in the future. I'd definitely recommend visiting this awesome farm! read more

So much fun, great group, teacher was awesome. Must do. Add it to your bucket list.

Mad Lavender Farm is a magical spot hidden away in beautiful Hunterdon County. You can tell that this farm was loved into being by Adrienne and Don. I attended the recent loom workshop. It was terrific. The rain didn't even put a damper (pun intended) on the class. Excellent instruction by Kelly, good company, we were encouraged to work/learn at our own pace, and we got to take the loom and materials home - a wonderful surprise. On top of all that - the baby goats were born the night before! I'll be coming back for more events and to browse and shop in The Tiny Shop. read more

Placed an order online only to find out you had to schedule a farm pick up. I immediately contacted them that I was going to be out of state and could not pick up the next day. They never responded and never refunded me my money.. read more

Mad Lavender Farm is a wonderful small pick-your-own lavender adventure. Adrienne and Don were the absolute sweetest and were so happy to share their knowledge of lavender and goats! We fully enjoyed ourselves and especially loved the free taste of lavender lemonade! Definitely worth the drive if you're not from close by. We're an hour away and will definitely come again next summer! Also, felt extremely safe as everyone followed COVID-19 precautions. I even bought 2 lavender hand sanitizers because they smelled so good! read more

This hidden gem is the perfect getaway from the city. I discovered it through Instagram and booked the goat yoga class for my friend's birthday. We had such a blast! You start out with sound therapy which grounds you, then as you begin the yoga practice the goats are brought in and they love to play! Afterwards we browsed the shop and I bought some dried lavender to have in my home. It smells amazing! Couldn't recommend this place more, I can't wait to go back for more classes! read more

Mad Lavender Farm is magical. We came by in August, grabbed some lavender honey, had a picnic with our dog, and played with baby goats. It's such a peaceful place. Everyone who works there is so kind, helpful, and welcoming. I just picked up some lavender plants during the coronavirus shutdown and wish I could have stayed for a bit. Definitely worth a visit. read more

Went for sound bath goat yoga and had the best time! The baby goats are so soft and adorable. Doing yoga with the goats under the trees on a beautiful day was pure heaven. This farm is wonderful. Great little shop. Everyone is super nice and cannot wait to come back when the lavender is in bloom. Thank you, Adrienne for helping with the website! read more

Our goat yoga instructor was fun and made the experience a memorable one. My goat was named Johnny Cash and was a cute little thing. Afterwards we walked around and enjoyed the surroundings. Try the lavender ice cream, yummy. Something fun and different to experience and not too far from home. read more

10 acres of shade/sun soulfulness and ecologically minded owners who take care to make soap, honey from lavender grown on their farm. Adrienne was a sweet host and explained their mission. Great to stop by and attend goat yoga or just sit and relax a but in a quiet environment. read more

Even on a very rainy day- the farm staff was very accommodating for "Yoga with Baby Goats" event this past Mother's Day. The event was so much fun and so very fulfilling. We will most definitely go back as we are looking forward to seeing the farm full bloom and spending time with the animals! The event was nicely organized and the small quaint gift shop was very charming. It was our first experience with this farm and we look forward to attending future events. read more

Spent the afternoon on the farm for the Smudge making workshop. It was a lovely experience and I would highly recommended the class. Adrienne was a wonderful host and I can't wait to go back for another class. read more

We had the best time ever at goat yoga!! High recommend. We went for Mother's Day and my son was asking if we could go back again the next day. It was so special. read more

WOW! Going to a lavender field has always been a dream of mine so maybe I'm biased but I just love the experience Adrienne and her partner are creating at Mad Lavender Farm. You will go because you can pick your own lavender and raspberries, and that will be amazing, but you will soon find out that these purple and red goodies aren't the stars of Mad Lavender... That title belongs to the baby goats (kids?)- Charlie and Lewis Carroll. They give you a basket, scissors and tips on how best to cut your lavender then let you loose in the field! If you're lucky you'll have a cute little white goat at your heels. They also have big plans and a lot of potential- I'm looking forward to going at least a couple more times this summer and to continuing the tradition in the years to come! read more

This Lavender Farm isnt only beautiful, but the employees are SO kind and helpful! They offer many workshops--and I'd highly recommend checking out their website--they're listed according to date. My "teacher", Katie, was a master regarding her knowledge of holistic practices. I loved this workshop so much, I went home and signed up for another one!!! The grounds are simply gorgeous!!!! read more

So coming here for lavender picking was a lot of fun beautiful place. I wanted to come back for a class/event and was unable to make it because of the rain. I thought being pregnant in a wet field wasn't the smartest choice. No refund or rescheduling was offered to me and that was disappointing. read more

Goat yoga was such a great experience here! The owner and her staff are all incredibly nice and made the class so fun. Highly recommend for an uplifting day that will have you smiling and laughing for an hour straight! read more

Doing yoga with goats was a blast -- but social distancing was not taken seriously enough. Mad Lavender advertises its goat yoga classes as adhering to the social distancing standards -- 6ft of distance between participants, masks worn, etc. However, we found that these practices were very loosely enforced. At the beginning of the class, the instructor stated that if we arranged our mats far enough apart, we wouldn't have to wear masks. She also offered to wear a mask if it would make us feel comfortable. We didn't ask her to, since we assumed that she would stay 6ft away, as promised. So far so good. However, once the class began, there were many times when the instructor approached us to facilitate certain aspects of goat yoga (e.g., bringing the goats to us) before we had the chance to ask her to stay away or put on a mask. Since the class was advertised as a safe event, masks should not have been optional if the instructor was planning to approach her students so many times. The instructor was a fantastic yoga instructor, but it was concerning how freely she approached us, especially considering how many other students she interacts with each day. I am now concerned I'll come down with the coronavirus in the next two weeks. On the grounds of the farm, too, mask wearing was not enforced. Around the farm shop, it was difficult to avoid coming into close quarters with other students who weren't wearing masks or maintaining 6ft of distance. The bottom line: The class, while fun, was not what I signed up for. It was advertised as a safe event where everybody would be wearing a mask. Please start enforcing this policy to ensure everybody can enjoy the goats without putting their health at risk. read more

I had such an amazing experience here with my family! We picked some lavender and enjoyed some time at the farm. Everything was so cute (including the goats!) Great place for photos too! read more

I have been to Mad Lavender several times over the past few years. They offer unique experiences; I have been to a sound bath, goat yoga, and most, recently, pick your own. There seems to be something going on every weekend. The people are friendly and really do know their lavender. They offer food and products made from lavender as well as great recipes to try at home. I AM mad for lavender and Mad Lavender Farm. read more

We just got home from our first Baby Goat Yoga class and all I can say is OMG! Such a worthwhile experience. Owner Adrienne is so sweet and welcoming and the farm is beautiful. I went with my parents and our friend and we were laughing and smiling the entire time. The goats are adorable and very calm. The whole experience was relaxing and unique! I do recommend bringing an older yoga mat since the goats are known to pee! Would do again in a heartbeat. Thank you, Adrienne!!! read more
