I've always wanted to visit a lavender farm after seeing so many beautiful photos on Instagram, and…read moreit definitely lived up to the hype. There are countless picture-perfect spots for your Instagram photos, but the real highlight is the incredible aroma. The scent of fresh lavender is absolutely amazing. Admission to walk the field is $14, and it's well worth it. Strolling through the peaceful lavender fields is so relaxing. We were lucky to visit during the last week of July when the lavender was in full bloom, making the experience even more beautiful. Highly recommend adding this to your summer bucket list!

Lavender by the Bay has two locations. After reading reviews for both, we decided to go to the…read moreCalverton location as it is newer, closer to NYC and offers a more expansive, larger field. We came during peak bloom for the French lavenders in mid July. It wasn't crowded at all when we went. Even though it's recommended to buy tickets online, we had no problem buying the tickets at the door. I loved that they have chairs conveniently located in the fields so you can relax and take in the view. We had a lot of fun spending about 1.5 hours here. Please be sure to check their website for the latest bloom update before you make your trip. Also another thing to note is that there are lot of bees (understandably as it is a working farm), but it's something to keep in mind if you are allergic.

Staff is very kind and accommodating as we were unable to make our initial ticketed time. It costs $15 admission and will take no more than an 1/1.5hr to walk through the field. They unfortunately do not have an option to pick lavender due to prior damage, per the staff. There is a spot in the field to make a scent bag for $3, but that can be picked up at the little farm shop. There is a small stand at the entrance to buy bunches of fresh lavender, soaps, honeys, etc. While it is nice for a few pics, I do think $15 is a smidge on the pricier side. That said, it is a nice way to pass the afternoon and get some small lavender trinkets to go.

It is apparently the largest in New England. They even have a fairy garden. It really is picturesque. It was a drive for me but worth it. The farm was beautiful and unlike anything I've ever seen or smelled. The lavender plants were so pretty with bees buzzing everywhere. The gift shop was filled to the brim with local items and many lavender products such as bug spray, soaps, hand sanitizers, etc. We went on the trolley and the driver was very informative about the property. They are also fully solar powered. If you love farms, flowers, and wholesome activities, this is worth the visit.

Beautiful grounds. Felt slightly unwelcome…read more We drove one hour to the farm and were very excited. An employee sped into the exit and parked and rushed towards us as we were stepping out of the car. She did a b line to us and we thought it was serious. She told us that they weren't even open and we were parked on the wrong side of the parking lot near barn. Due to her approach we thought that we were perhaps an hour early but when we asked what time they open she said 10 am. It was 9:50 am. I wish she had approached us differently. Why not just say that they will be opening in ten minutes. We weren't trying to get inside. We had just commuted an hour and stretching out. It was so unwelcoming. On the other hand a young man on a tractor said welcome while driving by us. The farm itself is lovely!

Located in a beautiful barn is their wonderful winery where they offer wine tastings with plenty of seating for large parties. They also have cider, which was quite tasty. We had a large group and this was the perfect spot to host us all so we could sit together and relax. This would be a spectacular venue for an event... specifically a wedding. We would highly recommend stopping in here if you are in the area. There's also a cool farm with animals for the littles, or any animal lovers, and a farm stand with fresh local fruits, veggies and cider donuts (during the fall). Lentz_explore

Mid season, the familiar faces were gone and so did the great service and produce. My gripe is with their cases of tomatoes. For years we were able to adjust boxes (meaning swap out bad tomatoes) or "top off" the case. This year however, there was a $5 upcharge (anytime they felt like charging it, depending on who was working that day) which is fine because I get it, prices change but be consistent. Also the case is "as is" which means I now have to wonder how many rotten tomatoes I'm gifted with. Only to be told quite rudely "if you don't like it, don't buy it" Where are the sisters who ran this farm exceptionally?? So disappointing.
