Pelindaba Lavender is a premier grower of lavender plants, distiller of lavender essential oils, and handcrafter of lavender-based products. Although the best time to see the fields at the “peak of purpleness” is July-August, there are many things to do at the farm May-October. Stroll through the organically certified fields, browse over 200 lavender products handcrafted on the farm at the Gatehouse Farm Store, explore the demonstration garden where over 50 varieties of lavender are cultivated (blooming begins in early May and some varieties are still in bloom in October), harvest a bouquet from the cutting field, or bring a picnic to enjoy and be sure try their lavender lemonade, iced tea, ice cream or cookies.
