What an enchanting and magical experience! In addition to fragrant fields of lavender, Paradise Lavender Farm boasts a darling fairy forest that is whimsical for adults and children alike. There are about 20 fairy "homes" in the forest, each having their own theme and fairy doll. There's the fairy of music, the fairy of bees, the fairy of wine, the fairy of rainbows, etc. There are about a thousand precious photo ops, an Instagram dream. The people working there were also so friendly! Everything was clean and well maintained, even the Porto potties were charming and decorated with floral arrangements and mats! Never thought I see the day where I referred to a porto potty as "charming" ha! The gift shop was also fantastic. It had everything from lavender soaps, sprays, & candles, to Lavender infused foods like popcorn, ice cream, Seltzer water, and shortbread cookies. They had a lot of goodies for kids as well. My mom and I visited here and had the most wonderful day. I would definitely go back again and highly recommend if you are up in the Poconos, making time to stop at Paradise Lavender Farm! read more

We enjoyed our stay in this cute little farm. The lavender field is small comparably to other lavender fields I'd been to but the enchanted forest make up for it. We did had a great time going to each stops on the entire trail. Kids definitely will have a fun time if they come for a visit. We find great stuff inside the gift shop including the lavender flavor ice cream. We found out that they accept pavilion and gazebo rental for any special occasions. Just visit their site for more information. read more

My friends and I really enjoyed our visit here. We visited during the off season for lavender picking, but still enjoyed the experience. We walked through the adorable fairy forest, which gave off the vibe of a passion project whose attention to detail and love for life and imagination was tangible. Kids would love it, and us three adults did too. The store is wonderful, selling a variety of lavender-related products (including plants) at reasonable prices. The one staff member was the sweetest. Definitely come by!!! read more

The lavender selection was limited and didn't meet my expectations. I was required to purchase two admission tickets--one for myself and one for my husband, even though he wasn't participating in the picking. Admission includes access to the fields and the fairy garden, but picking your own lavender costs an additional $9. For that fee, you're given a small 2-inch PVC pipe to fill, and any extra lavender is charged separately. The fairy garden, which is part of the admission, felt more like a required stop than an added experience. It's clearly designed for young children, particularly little girls under six. Overall, I didn't find the visit worthwhile. In addition, the lady at the counter instructed me cut the lavender right at the first node ( starting from the top) of the plant. As a result, I ended up with a very small, short bundle of lavender. Having picked lavender at various farms across New York, I've never been instructed to cut the plant in this way. It's not the proper method for harvesting lavender and felt inconsistent with the standard practice. Two weeks later the lavender I picked did not hold the lavender aroma that it's supposed to have. I hung the lavender to dry as instructed. It dried nicely but lost its sent. read more

Paradise Lavender Farm is truly a hidden gem in the Poconos. We originally had planned to go to a different lavender farm but sadly due to the rain all the plants there were done for the season. Paradise was picked as the next option. Upon arriving to the farm, we noticed it was mush smaller than it appeared on the website. If you are interested in picking lavender, you must first check in at the gift shop. Upon checking in you will get a tube, basket, and a pair of scissors. Each tube you fill costs $8. Normally areas marked with purple flags are meant to avoid picking in that area. However since it was the end of the season the staff said to ignore them. When we got to the lavender field, it was very small and picked over. We still had a good time picking and got some great photos. Knocking one star for the lavender bushes being sparse. Next year hopefully can make it earlier in the year to have more options. In addition to lavender picking, there is also an adorable fairy garden. It is really cute and the amount of attention that has gone into the detail is impressive. There is a map and each fairy area has a little "treasure" for kids to take to build their own fairy garden at home. Admission is $5 and is worth it. After the fairy garden we went back to the store and purchased lavender ice cream. The ice cream was yummy (not super lavender forward) and had a fluffy texture. It was pricey ($5.50) but the portion size is significant. I would recommend one ice cream to 2 people. In addition to lavender ice cream, the store has a wide variety of lavender themed items, from lavender lip balms to lavender cookie mix. Additionally you can purchase culinary grade vanilla. Good to know: -Check their Facebook page to ensure the farm is open, at times they close for a day or two to give the lavender time to grow -Bring a hat, when picking lavender there is no shade and it gets very hot -As lavender is a pollinating plant, there were a decent number of bees. With bees declining in population, it is nice to see a good number here. However if you are allergic, make sure you wear clothing to optimally cover you and bring allergy medicine. -Did not see any restrooms -Staff is great and very friendly -Only open Thurs -Sat from 10 - 4pm and Sunday from 11-3pm -They host a variety of events from yoga, rock painting, and making your own lavender skin care items. read more

Happy to be the first one to leave a review for this little gem with a heart. It's a small farm with a wonderful little store that have pretty much everything lavender you can imagine. They even carry 4 different lavender tees. There was an option of cutting your own lavender. We opted to take a few photos and visit the store. I purchased lavender peppermint headache roller, lavender tea, and lavender bug guard spray. I definitely want to come back for the lavender ice cream when it's back in stock. If you are in the Poconos area I highly suggest visiting. PS If you enjoy that icecream, then you can actually visit the ice cream store that carries this ice cream and many other tropical unique flavors by the Delaware Water Gap. read more
