The lavender harvest in Cherry Valley is just around the corner, which means it’s time for the Lavender Festival at Highland Springs Ranch. Free and open to the public, this annual event showcases and celebrates all things lavender at 123 Farm. The celebration lasts two weekends, Friday, June 9^th, through Sunday, June 11^th, and Friday, June 16^th, through Sunday, June 18^th.

Stroll the meandering pathways through the lavender fields, or, experience a formal farm tour on a horse-drawn carriage. Delight in inspired dishes with lavender-infused ingredients and shop the wares at the organic marketplace featuring lavender essential oils, infused balsamic vinegar, olive oil, and lavender-stuffed animals.

This treasured festival has grown in popularity since it started in 2004, and is a must-attend event for anyone looking to spend a weekend on a different plane. For more information on the festival, check out the website.
