Helvetia Lavender Farm

Must visit place if you are in love with everything about lavender! Beautifully located, warm people around and peaceful and therapeutic environment.

A lovely Lavender Farm with quaint gardens that are filled with imagination, art and creativity.
I’ve visited this farm during the Oregon Lavender Festival a few times in the past few years. During the festival you’ll find friendly people, live music, sweet vendors and lavender scones served with fresh cream and berries.
The gardens are a pleasure to explore and each visit brings a new discovery.
As far as lavender, well there are plenty of options for you to take in home in all of it’s various forms from fresh to culinary, from cookies to lavender lemonade.
I highly recommend a visit it’s easy to find and a bit hard to leave.

We visited Helvetia Lavender Farms before the big festival weekend. What a beautiful setting! The owners were very sweet and very helpful. They have a cute gift shop with sweet miniature fairy gardens and lavender products, a relaxing pond with ducks, a tea pavilion with a fabulous view of the farmlands and of course row after row of wonderful lavender varieties you can pick for yourself. As you approach the farm, watch for all the alpaca grazing in the neighboring farm fields.

We cut our Xmas tree here and had a awesome day, pictures with Santa, toasting marshmallows and very nice customer service!!! I recommend getting you tree here!

This place is a «must do» when touring during lavender festival weekend. I had been here once during off time. Not much to see or do then, but during festival weekend it is a delightful place. They have a small garden area, a small lavender u-​pick area, lots of festival artists and vendors, Christmas trees on their valley hill, and alpacas. They even had a small tea deck for a lavender luncheon with scones, jam, berries, and tea. I tried bakery samples, bought a lavender magnet for my fridge, ate a lavender coconut macaroon cookie, and tried their lavender lemondade. I wished I would have done the scone and tea party, but my friends didn’t seem that interested. The alpacas were fun, and they had some visiting ones that you could observe and visit with. I liked this place so much that I actually called my parents and told them to check it out too. They also liked the festival. Get here early though since the later it is the more crowded and hotter the atmosphere can get. I have a beautiful time.

No a huge selection of trees, the train sets are great though! They have precut trees in water, or you can cut your own. A shot but fun tractor ride for kids. The gift shop is quaint and has a nice selection, and Santa is there on the weekends

This place is the bee’s knees!
I discovered it during the Oregon Lavender Festival. My neighbor and I had been swearing for 5 years that «We’ll go this year!» Well, we finally did and what a treat this place was.
The lavender section is open from early June to early July serving tea, giving garden tours, and u-​cut lavender by appointment. The season culminates with the Lavender Festival (1^st weekend in July) which includes culinary treats like lavender lemonade, lemon lavender shortbread and others. You can cut lavender, make a wreath or wand, buy lavender products, or browse the tents of local artists and food vendors. Oh, and live music too.
I haven’t been to the Christmas Tree section yet, but I plan to this year. According to the owner, it opens on Black Friday and features wreaths, u-​cut trees (shaken and baled, not stirred) a gift shop, Lionel and Lego trains, and hot cider. A special Enchanted Evening date includes special touches like a covered wagon pulled by a pair of draft horses. I can’t wait to check that out!
