Our lavender will still have some blooms in July 2023!
The Details:
Culinary lavender dishes prepared by Karen Macdonald, owner of Lavender Oaks Farm. Wine will be served with lunch and will compliment the lavender menu.
Your arrival time will be 11:30 AM and we ask all guests to please arrive on time!
We will be seating everyone inside our main Barn which is temperature controlled for year-round comfort. Guests will be seated together at one long farmhouse table!
The tour will begin with a 20 minute presentation on growing our lavender and tips on cooking and baking with this wonderful flower. Then, lunch is served buffet style and includes a glass of Rose wine selected by Karen Macdonald to compliment the lavender dishes. Our famous sparkling lavender lemonade will be served, too.
After lunch, you may go to our lavender fields which are just a short walk from our Barn. Cutting lavender is included in your fee, so please plan to bring scissors and take home 20 stems of fresh cut lavender!
Our Lavender Oaks Farm Boutique will be open and we sell our handmade lavender products including lotions, salves, teas, syrups, honey, sprays and more! We accept cash and all credit cards in our Lavender Boutique.
Sample Lunch Menu:
Our menu varies by season, but will be very similar to this example:
New lavender recipes will be featured in July 2023.
Organic Field Green Salad: Organic field greens with strawberries, blueberries, slivered almonds with our homemade lavender ginger peach dressing.
Cheese Tortellini Pasta Salad with Creamy Lavender Dressing:
Cheese tortellini pasta, grape tomatoes, fresh mozzarella cheese, broccoli, and our creamy homemade lavender spinach dip dressing. This is a cold pasta salad.
Lavender Roasted Chicken: Boneless breast of chicken roasted with olive oil and seasoned with our Herbes de Carolina lavender seasoning. The chicken is sliced and a delicious addition to our two salads.
Croissants with Whipped Lavender Lemon Chiffon Cream Cheese Spread: Our homemade spread is light and lemony with a kick of lavender! We’ll have some of our lavender jam to accompany this!
Desserts:
Lavender Oaks Farm Signature Dessert – “Welcome Neighbor Cake” – A vanilla cinnamon bundt cake with lavender vanilla glaze.
Beverages: Rose Wine, Water, and our Sparkling Lavender Lemonade.
