Sweethaven Lavender - Farms Near Me - Williamsburg, Virginia

I can't think of a better way to spend a day off than soaking in the charm of Sweethaven Lavender Farm in Williamsburg, VA. From the moment you hop onto those winding country roads, you feel the stress start to melt away. Parking is a breeze. It's literally an open field where you just pull in and park wherever. It's casual and easy, like everything here. The entrance is warm and inviting, and the women at the front stand welcomed us. You can immediately tell that every inch of this place was created with intention and care. Even the little playhouses for kids are painted in such charming colors. I visited toward the end of lavender season, so the fields weren't at their peak, but honestly it didn't matter. The wildflowers were in full bloom, and the sunflowers were just starting to bud. We had a blast feeding the sheep, who were clearly used to visitors and more than happy to accept snacks and attention. The gift shop is a must. It's packed with lavender goodies of course, but also a bunch of unique, cute items. I walked out with the cutest bee T-shirt & enamel pin. Then there's the café, which had everything from sandwiches to lavender ice cream, cotton candy, slushies. Yes, we tried it all! The lavender ice cream stole the show for me. I'll be back for my lavender ice cream fix! One of the best parts was spending time wandering the flower fields and cutting blooms for our own bouquet. Sweethaven feels like a dream. Everything about it is thoughtful, beautiful, and full of joy. I left with a full heart, a bag of goodies, and lavender ice cream on my mind. Already counting down the days until we visit again. read more

The perfect, relaxing summer activity. You can pick different kinds of lavender or flowers. I chose a mix of them and I was glad the person checking me out wrapped them separately so I would know which one was the culinary bunch. Their shop also has lavender lemonade and lavender snacks. I picked up a lemonade and a lavender brownie. Both were delicious. The live music added to the atmosphere. They also had the cutest farm animals. read more

We came on their last day of the season about a week ago late June. It was beautiful, very family friendly. We went just to check the scene out and we do plan on returning for more events in the future and during lavender season itself. The staff that we encountered were very helpful thing I noticed was how nicely dressed was that worked there. They offered a lot of lavender themed products things like food and drinks and soap. They had a garden that you could just walk through. It is very picturesque the entire property. read more

Just to be out in fields of lavender and countryside. It was relaxing and an enjoyable beautiful day.

I had been wanting to visit sweethaven for some time now. I decided to book tickets for my anniversary with my husband. We took our kids along with us. It was such a nice experience. I wasn't expecting to have as much fun as we did. Firstly, the staff were all so kind and helpful. It was our first time so we weren't sure what all to do but they let us know the ins and outs of everything. The lavender was so beautiful and plentiful. The kids really enjoyed picking the lavender, sunflowers and wild flowers. They were also able to feed the sheep. They have a nice little area that served all kinds of lavender treats and drinks and everything was so yummy. The shop had the cutest items to purchase. I would definitely try and make this a yearly visit. read more

I love this place! It is so relaxing. My family always orders a picnic with our tickets because we enjoy the basket, packed lunch, and blanket that comes inside. The brownies are my favorite but the lavender lemonade is quite nice. The scent of the culinary and French lavender is better than you can imagine. The staff is friendly and you have a variety of options to sit or lay to each your picnic. read more

What a lovely place! I could have not asked for a better experience here. It was easy to book online our two hour experience which I bought the picnic basket experience for the three of us attending. Foodwise- everything in the picnic lunch was absolutely delicious. The Turkey sandwich was good and of course all of the lavender infused treats from the brownie to the fruit salad and everyone in our group had the half & half Arnold Palmer and all items were so yummy! Other food products are available for a la carte purchase such as cotton candy and scones and they looked yummy as well. Store-Lots of great products and I wish I could buy all the lavender items! Nice and friendly people working the store. The farm-beautiful and peaceful gardens to walk through. Lambs-so cute and sweet! Overall a great experience here! Love the package deal! read more

Love love love this place. A hidden gem of Williamsburg for sure. Prices are reasonable, staff are super kind and overall I had a great time. I came here to pick wild flowers which I think was actually better than the lavender pickings. They also have a cute shop where you can buy lavender items as well as a small menu of food items like lavender drinks, ice cream, and cotton candy. They also have a petting zoo open at specific hours and some other events like evening live music. read more

The season unfortunately ended on July 2nd. But I must say I'm glad I was able to catch this lavender farm in Williamsburg a few days before they closed! Thank you Aneesa, for showcasing them on a reel,so that I was able to catch them! To visit the lavender farm, you make advance reservations online which allows you to visit the lavender farm and explore. If you want to PICK & CUT lavender or flowers or feed and pet the sheep you pay for those activities when you arrive at the farm. You can also just purchase lavender infused treats like ice cream, brownies, cotton candy, chocolate, lemonade, teas and iced lattes at their mercantile shop. Once you pay for your treats you pick them up in the barn behind the store. They also carry lavender soaps and other lavender items for sale in their store. Picnic food such as sandwiches,chips etc are available for pre-purchase online AT LEAST 48 HOURS in advance or you can bring your own picnic on the premises. Be sure to have your pre-paid tickets on your phone or printed upon arrival to show at the check in shelter near the front. This is where you will pay to pick lavender or for any other activities. You then walk a few feet where they hand you a pair of scissors, a basket and a ring for each number of bouquets you pay for. You will fill the ring with all the stems you have cut until it is packed and that designates ONE bouquet. After you are finished cutting your lavender and flowers you bring them into the mercantile shop and they will wrap them for you. Tip: If you pay for cutting flowers, wait to pick it AFTER the lavender or after anything you are planning to do. Because the longer the flowers are cut and do not have access to water the faster they will wilt and you end up paying for essentially dying flowers. I saw this one lady and she brought her zinnias up to be wrapped and they were all practically dying and wilted. I paid to feed and pet the sheep. I just had to! They're way too cute!! The young lady that was monitoring the sheep was telling us their names and they are mainly named after flowers. Too cute! Lots of them were babies that were born in March and April and are twins! I purchased a lot of the lavender desserts! They were pretty good! I had the lavender lemonade which was pretty and refreshing. The lavender ice cream was creamy and a pretty purple. I decided to save my brownie and scones for home and purchased some for my husband to try. The lemon lavender scones were a good consistency, weren't dry but I felt they could be more flavorful. The lavender brownies were soft and delicious!! It was windy that day and while I was enjoying my treats the wind knocked over my bag of lavender and zinnias. I didn't realize they had placed my zinnias in a cup of water. I had to get more water and ask them to re wrap my lavender because the wrapping paper was soaked. If you have a closed container or a small cooler to set a vessel of water or even your car drink holder,use that to ensure the water for the flowers don't spill. Over all, it was an awesome experience, a lot of focus and concentration with cutting lavender and making sure you're respectful of the bees. I like that I was able to mix in some French and English Lavender in my bouquet. It was a very enjoyable time spent outdoors with my niece and sisters. This particular lavender farm is very picturesque, beautiful, serene and well organized. Although, we went when it first opened for the day at 10am, it was really busy! I was hoping it wasn't going to be so many people at that time. Their time slots are two hour durations : 10am-12pm, 12pm-2pm, 2pm-4pm. Their weekends are a bit different with them open later from 6-9pm with live music. read more

Such a great place for a family outing or with friends. I went with a girlfriend and we very much enjoyed our afternoon. The grounds are beautiful and so inviting. A relaxing feeling takes you over as you enter the lavender fields. The employees do a wonderful job of explaining how to collect your lavender and the different types they have in the fields. They give you a basket for your collecting as well as tools for cutting. We meandered for a while and collected our stems for our bouquet. They also have a Zinnia field and sunflowers so we collected flowers as well. When we finished, they wrapped up our bouquets and we enjoyed looking in the little shop were you can purchase items such a lavender syrup, etc. Following that we sat and enjoyed some lavender lemonade. A perfect way to end the afternoon. Next time I will have the ice cream! read more

I went there on a whim and always wanted to go to the farm. I just went into the shop to get the product to help me sleep. The smell of the lavender on farm is very relaxing. The products that I purchased that day are amazing and smell wonderful. I'm looking forward to next season and picking fresh lavender. read more

This place oozes charm. It was the perfect stop for my day trip to Yorktown Beach. They require ticket reservations which are very easy to buy on their website. It was a reasonable entrance fee for me and my friend, especially if you don't end up buying anything. When we first arrived, the friendly lady who checked our tickets explained what we could pick and buy. We went straight to the store for some lavender goodies. Inside it smelled like HEAVEN. Lavender is so delightful and this store reminded me non-stop how much I love it. If it was up to me, I would've bought the entire store. They had everything from Lavender Latte Candles to Lavender Lotion to even Lavender Chocolate. Think of any item, add Lavender before it, and it was probably at that store. I ordered a Lavender Lemonade and a Lavender Lemon Scone. The scone was in a plastic bag at the cashier, but I had to pick up my lemonade from behind the barn. The section where I picked up my lemonade looked like it was made for weddings. It was an open space with garage windows that were opened. It was the perfect summer escape. The lemonade was made for Instagram. The drink was purple with a purple straw and a stem of lavender. I highly recommend getting this drink when you visit. We walked around the farm after grabbing my drink. The zinnias were gorgeous. Butterflies and bees flew happily along all of them. We walked through sunflowers, french lavender, and english culinary lavender. We saw some adorable sheep too. They looked very happy from all the food families had been feeding them all day. You can choose to pay a small fee for a sheep experience where you can feed and pet them. We spent a good amount of time on an outdoor porch swing in the shade. The whiff of lavender with the breeze transported me to the south of France. We tried the Lavender Lemon Scone on the swing. It tasted like they put too much baking soda in it so we didn't finish it. I loved our experience here. We would've spent most of the afternoon on that porch swing if we did not have other plans. Don't hesitate about visiting Sweethaven, it's worth it. All the employees are so sweet and the lavender is even sweeter. read more

One thing I can say is that this lavender farm is a hidden gem in Williamsburg! Came here for a visit on a very warm July morning, but enjoyed my time feeling at peace. Upon arrival you'll check into the cottage to pay for your bouquet (not included in the price of your ticket). $8 to pick lavender, you can also pick sunflowers, and zinnias. U-pick tools will be given to you which include a basket, ring, and scissors. The farm happens to be open rain or shine. May through July are peak times for lavender, but they also are open in the Fall! Sunhats are recommended. They offer sweets treats in the store and have a few benches throughout the farm to sit. They offer storytime for the little ones. You're able to foldable chairs. Parking is pretty easy and there was plenty. This is an activity that is fun for all gives you a nice to to unwind. Tickets are available for weekdays and weekends during their open season. All in all I had a positive experience and would definitely return! read more

We were looking for a cute day date and came across this cute place! Sweethaven Lavender is exactly how you would imagine it to be! After parking in the lot, as I approached the entrance of this farm I felt like I was going to a wedding reception or something similar. It felt and looked very fancy! Without even entering, you could see the large lavender, wildflower and sunflower fields they have! We planned on just having the picnic and taking some pictures within the fields (admission was like $7 and adding on the picnic was $23), however while taking some pictures we couldn't help ourselves and decided to add on picking some flowers ! They had the option of picking sunflowers (3 for $8), lavender ($8), zinnias ($8) and or a bouquet of wildflowers (however much you could fit in a plastic cup for $8). I didn't think that there was a huge variety of the wildflowers, but as you can see from the picture, my friend proved me wrong lol. It was really hot (we went mid June) and not really any areas for shade, so I recommend bringing a hat! There were also a lot of bees, so be careful if you're allergic. There was a small little play area for children to play as well. There were little barns they could play in and a stage area where they could act on/run around on/do activities. There was actually a group of children present for a birthday party which I thought was super cute! There is also an area for corn hole. I forgot to take a picture, but there was also a cute little tent on the farm and they offer glamping which is super cool! The picnic included a Turkey croissant sandwich, lavender Mayo on the side, a small fruit cup, a lavender brownie, and your choice of beverage (lavender sweet tea, lavender unsweetened tea, and lavender lemonade). The beverages are a little on the sweet side however when the ice melted and diluted the drink it tasted great lol! There was plenty of seating for eating. We weren't sure if we needed to bring our own blanket and basket so we did. Don't do what we did haha. They provide you with your own basket and blanket to sit on if you choose to sit out on the fields! We ended up not using it and sat at the tables haha. The food was ok. The sandwich is probably as you'd imagine. They added a touch of their lavender straight from their field to the mayo if you want to add that to your sandwich. If not, they include regular Mayo too. The fruit cup was pretty sweet/ripe as well too. And the brownie was delicious, no nuts for those with allergies, just a touch of lavender. Overall, I loved my experience here! The price was well worth the experience. The staff was super helpful and nice. The farm was clean and beautiful. I'd definitely come back and would recommend to people in the Williamsburg area or around the area, looking for a nice place to spend time on a beautiful day. read more

Contrary to what Yelp says -- this farm is open and it's amazing. You can check their hours and sign up for picking times through their Facebook page: https://www.facebook.com/sweethavenlavender/ I took my two young sons here for the morning to clip some lavender and enjoy a picnic lunch on the farm grounds. You sign up for your picking window ahead of time to ensure appropriate social distancing. Each bouquet of lavender you pick is $8. They provide you with scissors and baskets to collect the lavender. They have both purple and white lavender varietals on the property, so you can choose which you prefer. In addition to the U-Pick function, there is a beautifully maintained garden where you can enjoy many butterflies and other flower varietals. In the home shop, they offer pre-pick options, as well as a variety of handmade products from their lavender. These include soaps and lotions to edibles like brownies and lollipops. There is a large wooded, shaded area with several picnic tables where you can bring your own lunch and simply enjoy the view. Overall, I would highly recommend this as a fun, relaxing excursion. read more

@sweethavenlavender was a great place to go for a relaxing day out with my Mom @kathybright1104 ! My mom spends a lot of time ensuring Grandma stays in tip top shape. So, I decided my bestie needed a well deserved break to recharge and rejuvenate. And planned a day trip for us to take a joy ride to Williamsburg, VA. Once, Mommy and I arrived at Sweethaven Lavender; we checked in and picked up our chalet picnic package. The owner, Hanna walked us to a cute private chalet on the farm in a beautiful field. Our lunch came with two turkey and Colby Jack croissant sandwiches, fruit salad topped with lavender simple syrup, lavender fudge brownies, and our choice of lavender sweet tea, lemonade, or an Arnold Palmer. The lavender brownies an Arnold Palmer was everything! After we ate our food we walked the grounds and each picked a lavender bouquet. Before leaving we went into the store and did a little shopping. Picked up a few bars of lavender soap and decorative bouquets. I have to go back soon because I forgot to get my lavender cotton candy. Hanna, her family and friends are amazing! They all stepped out on faith and pursued their dream to own a family farm. Y'all know I'm a sucker for a family that realizes that as long as they have each they can accomplish anything! Y'all make sure you go support this #localbusiness and tell them I said, hi when you visit! Shot out to @wheresxthexfood and @savvythriftnista for letting me know about this spot! read more

I have been looking forward to this for years! I missed out in 2019 and then 2020 shut things down and I didn't realize I could visit for the day. I follow them on Facebook so when I saw the post a few weeks ago about being able to purchase tickets and a picnic lunch I immediately booked it for an upcoming weekend visit with my mom. We visited a few days ago and had an amazing time for a few hours enjoying this beautiful farm. It's so relaxing and well-kept that we loved literally everything about it. First things first - bring bug spray. If you are even remotely irritated by bugs, bring it. I am always a delightful feast for any bugs so I made sure I was prepared and a good thing, horse flies were kamikaze diving around me they wanted me so bad but I wasn't bitten due to my heavy coating of bug spray. My mother and I did two you-pick bouquets (small $8 each) and were given adorable baskets and scissors for clipping. This takes longer than you'd think so we were out in the lavender fields clipping and snapping photos for about an hour. Afterwards we came back to the barn and chose the drinks to go with our picnic lunch and we walked around to the back of the barn and enjoyed our picnic there (a respite from the bugs) where plenty of tables are set up with firefly lights overhead. Our picnic basket included a delicious turkey and cheese croissant sandwich with lettuce and tomato with packets of mustard and mayo inside. We also had a large side fruit salad with lavender syrup which was SO good and cool and fresh and a bottle of water. You can choose one lavender drink as well, so we tried the lavender sweet tea and lavender lemonade and both were really good. You also get a decent-sized lavender brownie for dessert. All listed is included in the $20 per person picnic. I added a lavender bliss ice cream which is a generous portion of vanilla bean ice cream from a local creamery with more delicious lavender syrup. This was the star for me, the ice cream was amazing and the lavender syrup was the perfect compliment. I've had a lot of lavender syrup in my life in mixed drinks and candies and this is the best I've ever had. It's sweet but not so sweet it makes your face involuntarily pucker like some. After all of that, we then finished up inside the barn where we shopped the facial and skincare products, lavender soaps, lotions, chapstick, candles, honey, syrup, hand towels, etc. I wanted everything and we had a nice chat with the part-owner of the mother/daughter duo, Hannah. She was very friendly and engaging. This was a wonderful afternoon filled with lavender goodness and fun and relaxation. Everyone we encountered here was friendly and kind. The weather was very warm but we enjoyed ourselves completely and I can't wait to bring others here and come back again! The drive in on a winding and beautiful road covered by trees is also a treat as you depart the hustle and bustle of I-64 and Williamsburg for rolling hills, one-lane roads, and farmland. *A word of caution - Jolly Pond road has two ways to reach this location. One crosses a dam/bridge that is and has been closed for a year or more - there is no way around so you must go back the way you came and detour, it will take an hour or more so if you do this, you may miss your ticket window. We heard someone come in this had happened to while shopping and she lost nearly all of her two-hour ticket window in the detour. My mom had read about this in advance so we made sure we weren't crossing water before we came with the GPS. Make sure that you take the Jolly Pond Rd. 611 way that goes past WJCC Schools and NOT 633 which will lead you to the road closure. read more

Wonderful place to relax and enjoy the beautiful weather outdoors! Sweethaven is truly a piece of heaven just outside of Williamsburg. We came at the end of the season, but fortunately the fields of French perfume lavender and English lavender permeated the summer breeze. As we picked our bouquet of lavender ($8/bouquet), the bees and butterflies were busy pollinating the fields of flowers. They had zinnias ($8/bouquet) in vibrant colors and a beautiful field of golden sunflowers ($2.50/flower) beckoning us! In the far end of the property are the sheep that you can feed and pet for a charge. The sheep had names. One was particularly vocal! The gift shop offered all things lavender from lip balm, towels, roll-ons, candy bars, and teas, to hand-made soaps, cook books, and coffees. They also have picnic areas where you can enjoy eating lavender ice cream, scones, tea, and lemonade!! Makes for a fun day with friends and family!! Definitely well worth the trip and experience!! The staff were very friendly and happy to greet you!! read more

Sweethaven farm is mt favorite place to start my summer festivities off at! This is my 2nd year going. The snacks are incredible, highly reccomend the lavender lemonade, lavender brownie, lavender oatmeal cream pie, lavender cotton candy, lavender ice cream.... it's all so good!!! You really can't go wrong. You can pre-order lunch, charcuterie, & dessert boxes (depending on day + time you're visiting). This year we went for the Friday night event - live music, wine slushies, and MUCH cooler temps. There was a good amount of people but still plenty of space for all the photo taking opportunities. Definitely bring a picnic blanket or a lawn chair so you can relax, seating is limited & fills up fast! The lavender you pick, you're instructed how to dry. Mine still smells amazing from last year & this year they had culinary lavender in bloom so I'm excited to cook with it. Don't miss this gem in Williamsburg, you will NOT be disappointed! read more

My first time here was in May of 2020. Then again memorial weekend of this year. It is such a gorgeous farm. Very photo worthy. The entire farm smells so good due to the Lavendar. Sweethaven requires online reservations which helps control over picking and capacity. The field is plentiful. Tons of Lavendar of different kinds. Upon check-in, a staff member will provide a basket and scissors for lavender picking. After you're done picking they will bundle it up at the barn house. In the barn house store they have a ton of Lavendar products. Inside the barn is a siting area to enjoy refreshments, food and snacks. I love the lavender lemonade. My kids love the lavender cotton candy. You can also do picnics on the farm. There are tree swings and sitting area by the lavender field. They keep the farm very clean. Overall, I really do love this place and recommend everyone check Sweethaven Lavender farm. read more

I found out about this place on Facebook. It was actually the Sweethaven Lavender Festival today and I'm so glad I went. I don't know what it's like on any given day, but what I saw there today, was breathtaking. The lavender blooms were in abundance and they smelled so good. There was a flower garden leading toward the barn. They were sunflowers and other flowers I did not recognize. It's well manicured. Everyone was so friendly. The drive here is beautiful as well. This is such a must!! read more

Wonderful place, very peaceful. We wanted to do something quiet but different and this place fit the bill. A bit of back roads to get to the farm but once we we there it was like a breath of fresh air. Any tension we had was left in the car. Reasonable price to go and cut your own flowers and lots of lavender. They do have a petting farm and plenty of goats. Very relaxing two hours with great refreshments. The lavender lemonade, ice cream and coffee were great. We caught the end of a musician performing for the afternoon crowd. He was very good, even heard bag pipes which was fitting with the atmosphere. Check out the website for more great music and events. A nice store on site had many local made products. A small play area for little ones. There also was a local stand out side of the official farm selling adult beverages, the mead is outstanding. If you like wild flowers, sun flowers and lavender this would be a nice change of scenery. Definitely will go back again. read more

Beautiful slice of Heaven and wonderful staff! .. and a lot of fabulous events that we will be returning to.

We visited the Sweethaven Lavender of Williamsburg for their fall fest this past weekend. They had the most scrumptious lavender oatmeal cream pies, lavender ice cream, and lavender cotton candy. All of their sweet treats had a hint of lavender but it wasn't an overpowering flavor. They have a picnic basket that can be reserved with a fresh sandwich, cinnamon walnut fruit cup, and the oatmeal cream pie pictured below. Other treats offered were the soft pretzels. We didn't try it but they did sell out so it must be great. Lavender lemonade, Lavender sweet tea, or an Arnold Palmer. all come with the cutest lavender sprig in your cup. This place is so romantic everywhere you look. Twinkly string lights, live music, a pumpkin area, and little farmhouse playhouses for kids. The ambiance was fantastic and you get the feel of this would be a wonderful wedding venue or vow renewal place. It's like feeling as if you're in a Jane Austen book. The picnic baskets were the cutest. We rode the hayride a couple of times! A group of my friends joined us as well. I purchased the vanilla lotion which made my skin silky smooth. A fun night was had by all! read more

Sweethaven Lavender - Farms Near Me - Williamsburg, Virginia

This was my first visit to Sweethaven Lavender Farm and I almost didn't come. But my daughter convinced me to go and I'm so glad I did. After picking several bouquets of lavender we sat on the swings and just breathed in the beautiful scent of the fresh lavender with the cool breeze and the breathtaking scenery. We followed that with a visit to the shop in the barn; (I strongly recommend the lavender lotion) we also enjoyed the lavender honey and the lavender lemon ice creams. This was a much needed escape from today's stressful world; I so glad I came. I plan to escape there again soon. read more
