This is a MUST see in the area. You can spend as long or as little here as you like, between the hammocks, the shop, and cutting your own lavender (a quick process) The perfect Wednesday loop: Cody Kresta winery with its enchanting garden, here for a lavender break, and end at Lawton Ridge for the food truck. All within 10 mins. I might never buy another birthday gift from anywhere else. Their birthday boxes are perfection. Next time need to try the ice cream or at least bring a cooler. read more

Stepping into the shop that sits up front was lavendar scented at its absolute best. There were so many soaps, lotions & room fragrance choices. Be sure to take a good whiff of Mackinac Island in spray or candle. The combination of lavendar & lilac is amazing. Order some ice cream & step outside to your choice of relaxation. A shaded walk, picnic table, chair, or hammock all offer the calm of nature. Dont be surprised by a friendly visit from a goat or chicken. Down the path are the lavendar fields. They offer a beautiful picture or pick some to take home. Baskets & tools are in the shop. Stay awhile or make it a quick visit. Either way, you are definitely going to leave relaxed & looking forward to your next visit. read more

A lovely family operated farm. The fields of lavender are very photogenic with fragrant smells. Hammocks to lounge and enjoy nature available. Sampled the tea and it was so sweet and delightful. Purchased culinary lavender and a cookbook. Growing and expanding everyday. Parking easy and free. read more

This past weekend, I stopped by Shades of Lavendar with my mom and sister. We checked on their Instagram page (which seems to be updated frequently) to make sure the U Pick was ready and headed over. The farm is located about a mile off I-94. If it's your first time, I would definitely recommend putting the location into your GPS. The sign off the main road is VERY tiny and it is easy to miss the drive way. However, once you get there, it is easy to see the building that houses the shop. We walked in and were greeted by friendly staff who set us up with our U Pick supplies. You get a cute basket, cutting shears, and an instruction guide for how to cut the lavender (the staff also helped with this part!). Then, they send you down the path to the lavender fields. The path itself was the CUTEST thing! There are hanging lights, little hammocks and it looks like a page out of fairy tale. Seriously you could take so many adorable pictures here! When we got to the field, we were greeted by the owner, who was super friendly and gave us a quick lesson on the different varieties of lavender before letting us do our thing. After picking, we brought the lavender back to the store where the staff bundled them up for us. You pay per bundle, but each bundle is a good size, so the pricing seemed very fair to us. There is also a large assortment of lavender-filled things available for purchase, including candles, bath bombs, soap, lotion, perfume, and much more. Overall, we had an amazing time at Shades of Lavender! Everyone was so friendly and the farm is absolutely beautiful. I would HIGHLY recommend making a stop out here. You won't regret it! read more

I called ahead before my trip to make sure this was a field you could walk around in and it was so much more! they have 4 areas of lavender (purple, pink, white, and an area where you're not allowed to clip for photos which came in use). $5 for a twistie tie bundle is a great price compared to others i've been to. there are hammocks and chairs to relax. the place is a great family business and the owner and, i'm assuming, daughter were so helpful. there is also Tsuki who was my favorite worker (the lavender farm dog)! great job keep it up! read more

We had a great time to walk around and harvest various lavender! It is a family own petite local farm; family is young and passionate about gardening! Will visit it every time I am in town!

Made a special trip down to the lavender farm, only to show up at 10am with 3 other groups of people with absolutely no staff around. Facebook said they would be open 10-6, all 4th of July weekend long. Drove an hour for absolutely nothing, tried calling no answer. Sign in the window says 'smile your on camera' but it seems as through their blink cameras are not working, so the staff has no idea we are here. Extremely disappointed in the lack of communication on the part of this business, will never be coming back, what a waste of 3 hours. Don't waste your time, making a special trip for this place, they can't seem to know when they are open. read more

I've been meaning to stop by Shades of Lavender Farm ever since my friend told me about a class she took there. This past weekend was their Holiday Open House and it was great time to visit. They had samples of their Lavender Hot Cocoa (delicious!), Lavender Shortbread cookies (yum) and a couple of other baked goods. Lavender is in my top 3 scents that I love. Everything is made at the farm. I bought soap bars, lotion, and liquid soap. The smell was heavenly. Their classes start up again after the first of the year. I'll be anxious to check one of them out. Even though it was mid December, I could tell this was a beautiful little family owned and ran farm. read more

This spot underwent a glow up and a rebrand since the last time we were here and I love it!…read morePreviously you would do your shopping in the big building on the property (where I assume they do a lot of the processing and kept all their equipment, it felt kind of like a "facility" or warehouse of sorts) and it was pretty barebones. And it was fine! Better than fine because the blueberries were so good! I had no complaints. But now they've leveled up. Now it's not just good blueberries but good ambiance as well! They've converted another smaller building next to it as a storefront and it's chock full of blueberry based goodies like jams, jellies, baked goods, dips, mustards, beverages, etc. Way more to choose from! They also sell ice cream and added a play structure to help entertain the kiddos that get a little bored of picking (smart). The day of our visit it was around 100 degrees and humid so I was not up for picking myself. Instead I arrived ready to buy a box of pre-picked fruit in bulk like I had in the past. I walked into the cute new storefront, scanned the shelves, and panicked. There were no boxed berries to be seen! Was this no longer a thing?? U-pick only?? Why God why!? No need to panic, the really lovely woman at the counter explained to me. They just ran out because nobody wanted to pick in the heat (fair) and they had another load of blewbs (just processed and boxed) enroute and arriving at any moment, she just wasn't sure when exactly. Our time in town was limited so we decided we'd come back instead of waiting. She assured me there would be plenty available. And she was right! A couple of hours later we came back to find the coolers absolutely stocked full of 5lb boxes. I was fielding requests from the family back home to bring them some so in the end I bought 20 pounds worth. I also added a blueberry lemon coffee cake for good measure. Great visit! Wonderful changes! Lovely personnelle! And most importantly, the blueberries are still amazing. Next time I just hope it's cooler so I can get an ice cream cone that wasn't going to liquify the moment I stepped outside.

That was when S had a great idea- go pick strawberries! U-Pick fruit places are everywhere around here, and we've both got good memories of heading to Fritz's U-Pick out near Gobles when we were younger. So a quick search on Yelp turned up this place, and it was actually convenient to get to- it was on the way back from Reits. Pulling in, we were greeted with a field full of cars, and a massive strawberry field- with lots of other people here! The way it works is rather simple- you get a big container and a few little ones, and you go up and down the rows of strawberry plants looking for ripe red berries to pick while avoiding the rotten ones, the green ones, and the damaged ones. When you've picked enough (whether because your carrier is full or your back says "no more" doesn't matter), you carry the strawberries up to the hut where they're weighed and you pay for them. Then you take them to your vehicle and go on your way. It's a lot of fun, and my niece had a blast helping us dig for yummy fruit, and spending some time outside instead of watching television all day is always good. There are a few caveats- this is physical activity, so be prepared to get down and dirty. The majority of the berries are deep under the leaves, so you might have to kneel or sit in the moist dirt. Wear stuff you don't mind getting dirty. There are bees about- just give them space if you have to. It also gets pretty hot, so take precautions on sunny days! The berries here won't be as big, as uniform in flavor or in color as the ones you find at the Wal-Mart/Meijer's/local grocery. If you're looking for strawberries just to eat, be aware that you might get some sour ones- but if you're going to do things like make jelly or jam, make some strawberry pie or shortcake, or whatever, this place will suit your needs perfectly! If you don't feel like picking them yourself, you can buy them for about three bucks and change a pound (u-pick are about two bucks a pound). This is a great place to spend a few hours! We'll be back again!
