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 lessAle J.Beautiful location and very nice products here, will be there again well recommended to all who visits there. -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.

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 lessRuth M.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 lessEmma K.Such a lovely place, great trail for the kids to get involved and a lovely cafe to finish the trip off.

- Lyn T.Always a lot of fun. Feeding the chickens and listening to the staff. Cafe makes there own dishes . -read moreread lessGemma 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 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 less

Loved the experience -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 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 less - Ann J.Lovely place. We sat through the talk which was very interesting. Then walked around the fields. 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

Delightful I visited the farm for the first time recently, on the first day of re-opening. Even though the lavender wasn't ready yet, the smells in the garden were lovely. You pay a small fee to walk around the garden and you can see the distillery where the products are made. I really enjoyed walking amongst all of the chickens, it is such a peaceful place. You can enjoy a really nice walk in the fields, and I can imagine that when they are purple, the views must be amazing. We also came across another place called Reg's Garden accessible from the walk on the lavender farm, which is actually free. There is a lovely tea room at the lavender farm with lovely outdoor seating. The menu looked wonderful, everything from lavender scones to lavender ice-cream and tea. I did spend a fortune in the shop as I loved the variety of products on offer, I also purchased some real bargains. The lady serving in the shop was really helpful and pleasant. The farm has it's own small car park. I really enjoyed my visit here and I will definitely return when the lavender is ready! More -read moreread less
tvjohncaulfield Chickens and scones. Best to go in late June or July when the lavender is in bloom and the scent consumes the air around the farm. The crazy chickens roam everywhere always on the lookout for a few crumbs of food. Lovely scones in the cafe, even lavender flavoured if you want but traditional fruit was fine for us. Free to wander round the gardens with lots of photo opportunities, l All in all a great way to spend a few hours. -read moreread less - Cairolass_12 Fabulous Can’t agree with other negative reviews, this was a great experience. The grounds were beautiful and the talk was fascinating and informative. Great sense of humour. Perfect for gardeners . Cafe was slightly disappointing in they didn’t have any lavender baking but shop was good. Come away with lots of goodies to take home. -read moreread less
Suzie J. We went for the Lavender - but found so much more .... We really enjoyed this visit, even though late September was coming to the end of the Lavender season. There were plenty of specimen plants showing the variety of lavenders, as well as rosemary, eucalyptus and tea trees. During the season you can see the process of making lavender oil in action, however we were treated to a video which was really interesting, and the equipment used in its processing was on display. There were also plants available to buy. There is a café, outside picnic tables in the grounds and gift shop selling a range of lavender products amongst other things. We took a leisurely stroll round and found 'Reg's Garden', which was resplendent with colourful flowers and water features. Reg is in the process of creating a terrapin enclosure. A little further on we saw the creation of a 'Fairy Garden', which was absolutely delightful, a children's play area and Wendy houses. Sadly, September is coming to the end of the season in Jersey but for those coming in the summer months, a visit here is a must. -read moreread lessRobin D. 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 less - 949johni Interesting place to visit. Very nice people at lavender farm. They take time to explain the products.
Nice products stocked for all your needs. -read moreread lessGPuttock Lovely place Great visit to the Jersey Lavender Farm. We went during the season when they offer a talk and demonstration twice a day. Very informative and interesting. The tea has delicious Lavender shortbread too. -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.

Kattyann Amazing Experience I visited the Lavender Farm on 3 consecutive days from 7th - 9th May 2019 and the whole experience was wonderful. The garden & grounds are gorgeous and well maintained (loved the cockerels and chickens!) the food in the café is amazing (you must try the lavender ice cream) and the staff are helpful and very polite. Susan in the gift shop and Louise are an absolute joy. I can't wait to re-visit. -read moreread less

Very good. -read moreread lessbaobabsammy Lovely little place Lovely little place - but was hard to hear/see the talk due to space.

Not officially open until July 2021 An interesting stop off, but be aware it is opening late this year (July 2021, not the usual May) but we were lucky that a member of staff let us look round the garden and opened to shop to buy some local produce. -read moreread less649rosemarym Interesting afternoon at Lavender Farm Our guide certainly knew everything about the production of Lavender from the farm. Nice walks in the grounds and a very clean cafe to finish with Lavender shortbread - yummy. -read moreread lessDurhamfamily2013 Peaceful place Very quiet at the moment which makes it even more magical . They leave a little lavender growing so it’s always a beautiful spot , the tours aren’t running but you can watch the video and read about the distillation of the oils .
Perfect spot for a cup of lavender tea ( actually really nice ) , some short bread and a little swing under the old Cyprus trees .
If you are looking for a gentle stroll , beautiful smells and a nice little gift shop it’s well worth the very reasonable entrance fee -read moreread less
