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 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 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 less - Emma K.Such a lovely place, great trail for the kids to get involved and a lovely cafe to finish the trip off. A great place to visit. -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 lessLyn T.Always a lot of fun. Feeding the chickens and listening to the staff.

- Alison 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 lessAle J.Beautiful location and very nice products here, will be there again well recommended to all who visits there. -read moreread less
- Sheila 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 lessAnn 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 lessRobert 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 - Margaret 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

Interesting little p,ace to visit Loved the chickens running around and a p,easy to walk around the Lavender farm. Would recommend for an hour or so to see how it’s all grown and how they produce the Lavender. The shop has some lovely gifts on offer. -read moreread less
Charlotte M. Great! Just made it in time for the distillation talk for the season (26/8).
Highlight of our trip was indeed the distillation talk by the owner. It was very interesting and he made it so easy to understand and kept our full attention for over an hour. Providing us with samples to smell, think and compare. Commenting not just about lavender and its uses but the aroma industry as a whole. As a food scientist I appreciated the chemistry and information and could see the overlap with food and perfumery industries. He even mentioned one of the aroma/flavour houses that I had visited through work in the UK.
Shop as ever full of interesting products and good value. We purchased three packs of lavender fudge. Delicious it only lasted a few minutes.
Our two daughters had fun feeding the cocks, hens and very cute chicks. The whole site was delightful - colourful interesting flowers and plants and calming lavender fields surrounded the main site.
This was our second visit and well worth it. Next time we would like to do the audio tour and maybe come a different time of year before the harvest finishes mid Aug.
Also would like to try the cafe with lavender based goodies.
Note: the flowering season is not all year round. Flowers can be viewed late May to around mid July prior harvesting. -read moreread less

Rachel B. Lovely place to take young children I visited with my parents and 2 year old and we all had a lovely time. There were plenty of interesting things for adults, as well as chickens, swings and Reg's garden for the little ones (This garden was an amazing surprise and a huge hit with my boy!-thanks Reg)
We stopped at the cafe which has a good selection of food and drinks (including lavendar hot chocolate which was delicious)
The staff were very friendly and helpful and we will visit again when next in Jersey! -read moreread lessMN993 Beautiful place When you visit the lavender farm make sure you try the lavender scone with your cream tea. Very good. -read moreread less -
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

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 - GilesD214 Detailed demonstrations Best to time your visit with the live demonstrations in the distilling room – otherwise there isn’t much in return for the £5.90pp entry. The demonstration and talk lasts about an hour – the guide is very passionate and knowledgeable about his work, he engages with the audience very well. The demonstrations of the machinery and bottling facilities are really detailed, and bring to life the process of making lavender-based products. There are pleasant lavender fields to walk through outside, and a small woodland walk – but were it not for the talk we would have been in and out in 20 minutes. -read moreread lessSamanthagreathurst Quaint little place Quaint place to visit not much to see but the smell of lavender in the fields was beautiful lots of nice products to buy in the gift shop the tour was informative and coffee shop adequate. -read moreread less
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. Result! -read moreread less - Margaret T. Lavender blue..... Very enjoyable. Went when the lavender was at its best. Had an interesting but somewhat overlong description of lavender oil production and watched the lavender heads being loaded into the still. Pleasant little cafe. Keep your eyes open for the very smart cockerel caring for his ladies. At the far end of the site there is an entrance to Reg's Garden. Well worth visiting especially if you have small children. -read moreread less
