Lavender
Here at Abbotts and Oak Farms we primarily grow Phenomenal™ Lavender, renowned for its fragrance, striking purple blooms and exceptional resilience to harsh weather conditions, it is perfect for our humid summers and cold winters. Its versatile uses in aromatherapy, culinary delights, and medicinal applications make it a favorite among gardeners and enthusiasts alike.
U-pick lavender season begins in June while the flowers are in bloom and usually will run until the first week of July. Of course each growing season is at the will of nature so be sure to check out our Facebook page and subscribe to our emails.
Blooms
New to the farm is our small scale u-cut flower field, where you can come cut flowers and arrange your own beautiful bouquets. It is still a work in progress but whether you’re looking for a unique date night, want to hang out with your friends, or just need some fresh florals for yourself or to gift keep our flower field in mind.
Blooms must be picked in the coolest parts of the day. So we offer morning and sunset reservations that run through September. Of course each growing season is at the will of nature so be sure to check out our Facebook page for more up-to-date information and subscribe to our emails to stay in the loop.

Through engaging activities like tending to livestock, planting seeds, and harvesting crops, young participants develop a deeper appreciation for the natural world while gaining valuable life skills and fostering a sense of responsibility. Homesteading for Homeschoolers currently has two, 8 week sessions held in the Spring and Fall.
