A different and fun holiday experience and an opportunity to support a local farm and buy local produce. The friendly farmer provided a well informed presentation on the history of the farm and the process involved in the growing and harvesting of lavender. Sweet tea room, offering home cooked goodies. Well stocked shop. Who knew that lavender ice cream would taste so good! -read moreread lessBernadette G.Lovely place to visit in the summer, can't get enough of the beautiful view of the lavender, the scent of it and great walk. Easy access to the cafe and Reg's Garden is very close by too -read moreread lessMargaret W.Beautiful sweet smelling lavender grows here and the shop sells loads of products from little bags to marmalade all filled or made from it. The cafe does lovely sandwiches and cakes, plus a great cuppa. Visit on a warm day and you won't want to leave. -read moreread less - Ale J.Beautiful location and very nice products here, will be there again well recommended to all who visits there. -read moreread lessAlison C.We all had a beautiful afternoon. The demonstration and talk was very informative, witty and enjoyable. The amount and varieties of lavender were spectacular and we enjoyed teas and hot chocolate with lavender shortbread in the cafe. -read moreread lessRichard S.I was dubious when I arrived. I had seen everything within 15 minutes. I took a walk around the lavendar fields and watched the bees busily working. And then I really got my value for money: the distillery talk! About an hour and 15minutes of fantastic information and entertainment. Don't forget to schedule your visit to take in one of the talks at either 11:30 or 15:00. I didn't think that I could be captivated for over a hour about a plant but the passion with which the gentleman spoke warrants 5 stars. Don't forget to take a look around Ron's Garden: it's free and well worth a look. Kids will love the fairy kingdom. -read moreread less

Had a cup of tea and tried a lavender scone (different) in the little Cafe. Then walked along the old railway path to St Aubin. -read moreread less
- Gemma W.Very pleasant trip to the Lavendar farm when it was too windy to enjoy the beach. Its small, but cute. We went late in the season so only one variety of lavendar was still in bloom. Its a grass roots operation, great distillery talk (they run twice a day at 11am and 3 pm). The talk is essential to get value for money. Entrance is £5.90 for adults and free for children 16 years and under. The gift shop is fantastic! Many unique gifts you won't find elsewhere. It's really good knowing all the lavender products they sell come from their fields. The poor reviews aren't warranted, it's a working farm that focuses on the product. It's not a large farm, but it's Jersey, not the South of France! If the entrance fee puts you off, a visit to the gift shop is enough to please any lavender lover. -read moreread lessSheila H.Lovely place to visit. We went when there was not much lavender in bloom but it was still worth going! Lovely wild flowers in the fields - a great walk! Bonkers cockerels!
Smashing cafe and lovely woods and gardens to admire. Then the shop full of things you would buy for Christmas stockings. Nice people! The lavender oil process is explained in a small barn. -read moreread lessPeter G.A lovely place well worth a visit for 2 or 3 hours. Look on the website and try and go when one of the free tours is on. I think they are around 11.30 and 3.30 but please confirm this before going -read moreread less - Robert M.Good selection of souvenirs and friendly cafe service. Watch the distillery at work and smell the lavender fields ready for harvesting. Lots here for children. Loved the experience -read moreread less

Hungrygirl75 Surprisingly enjoyable! Thoroughly enjoyed our visit to the Lavender Farm. Lovely cafe and then wandered through the fields of lavender with the resident chickens for company. Relaxing and uncommercial. Lovely items in the shop. -read moreread less -

Theirs a small lavender field by shop as you enter, the other larger one is at back. Before the bigger lavender theirs a nice garden with an old fashioned swing and car cart. The place has a good vibe and really enjoyed our visit. -read moreread less437joc
Quick stop We only had an hour to spare but wanted to visit the shop. Access to the shop & cafe is free - we stayed for a quick cup of tea. Staff were very friendly & helpful. The shop has some nice affordable gift items. We loved the chickens & cockerel- it made it seem rural when really it’s not! -read moreread less -

Lovely Gardens Nice place to visit with all the lavender in bloom. Gardens are lovely with its cockralls roaming around and variety of plants some of which you can buy. There is a nice cafe serving breakfast or lunches and tea with cakes. The shop sells things lavender, oils,soaps. -read moreread less2018Poppet Jersey Lavendar Farm We visited the Lavendar farm this morning. It is definitely worth a visit but I would say ensure you visit at a time when you can listen to the talk (11:30am and 3pm). The talk was very interesting and quite amusing at times. There are very friendly chickens wandering around and a pen with guinea pigs in. Also a trail to follow. -read moreread less - Zellander Dog friendly and great talk We turned up just in time for the talk (on the day we went there were only two that day). The history and description of the process was fascinating, it was interesting to hear about the different types of lavender and oils and what they may be used for. You can wander through the lavender fields afterwards. It was a pleasant way to spend a couple of hours and great that we could take our dog with us. -read moreread less
s3aview Early in the season but worth a visit On arrival we paid reduced seasonal rates but the lavender was just beginning to come out and we saw a pretty lavender haze. The more formal gardens featuring an old caravan, a lavender delivery van and roosters which could be fed contrasted with a Discovery Trail around the lavender field.
The tea room was small with a cosy ambiance but it was a pity that not all items for the cream tea were available. The shop was very good with a variety of interesting goods, all lavender related, but do read the labels as not everything is made in Jersey. Reg’s Garden offered some beautiful vistas and lovely flowering shrubs. The children's areas were fun and parties in a magical setting were advertised for children. However, there was a slightly desolate air as if rundown and not well maintained – a pity as obviously a lot of thought, care and work has been put into this garden which has free entry although we were pleased to see a milk churn discreetly placed at the Exit where we could make a donation.

NetN Good place to stop off on the way to the airport I can recommend this as a place to go before heading for the airport.
The lavender fields are in bloom at the moment- the fields aren't full ( we wondered if they were growing fewer plants because of covid affecting sales) but there are a couple of fields that are full of bees and butterflies and the smell is just heavenly. There are also gardens, picnic spots and a couple of tree swings. A great place for a final stretch of your legs before travelling.
The free audio guide is interesting and there are videos of the distillation process in the barn. The cafe does great cakes ( also soup and sandwiches). There are free range chicken s everywhere and we saw a red squirrel as we left.
I just realised we missed the guinea pigs....!
I was so chilled out from the lavender in the air that the busy airport had no effect and I was still feeling calm when we arrived back at Newcastle. Re -read moreread less
