Lavender By The Bay
Lavender is one of my favorite herbs.
So when my mother in law asked if we(the boys & I) wanted to go
to the Lavender Farm.
I said”YES!”
Not sure the boys were too into it, but I did a little bribing:).
The farm is Lavender By The Bay
in East Marion, NY, it is on the North Fork of Long Island.
It is quiet & peaceful and bursting with history & charm.
There is a slower pace here, lined with farms & vineyards,
you feel like you have been transported to a different time, a simpler time.
The North Fork is truly a hidden gem.
I feel so lucky to spend a good deal of time here
&
blessed that my boys get to experience a little bit of the “country.”
The fragrance is intoxicating,
the minute you drive into the parking lot
the lovely scent of lavender fills the air.
If you spend $8 you get to walk the fields.
The shop was packed with people longing to capture the fragrance
&
bring it home with them.
I had to hold myself back from buying more than I did.
Shane & Jack had fun,
watching the bees mostly:).
If you are ever in the area, it is a definite must visit.
The aromas alone will make you insanely happy.
The sweet smells of lavender now fill my home,
I am not sure any of the “men” in my house care too much:)
but I am glad I could capture a little piece of this day.
On a side note,
I was featured on Miss Mustard Seed.
Head of over & check it out:)

I loooove lavender and have trouble finding some. This looks heavenly.
Hi Rosonda! If you call them, they might be able to send some to you, I think they close in a few days for harvest. If you click the link there should be a #.
Have a great Sat!Jen
Wow this looks amazing!! I’ve never been a massive fan of lavender myself, but I bet the aroma in the fields was stunning! The pictures are lovely 🙂

We are actually headed to a lavender field here in Idaho tomorrow. Your post has gotten me so excited. All of your pictures are beautiful.
I have a couple of lavender plants growing in rotted logs here on the farm and the smell is wonderful on these hot days — I can’t image what a whole field would smell like.
Awesome photos of your day.
Thanks for sharing at YSB this week. xo
