My friend Lia recently visited Mt. Shasta Lavender Farm in Northern California and she has allowed me to share her photos with you!
Isn't that view amazing! That's Mt. Shasta in the background.
From Lia:
The farm is about 15-20 minutes outside of the town of Weed. If you are heading towards Oregon it should be on your list of stops!
The views are incredible but the smell will take your breath away!Thank you Lia for allowing me to share this on my blog! I can almost smell the lavender!
When I went it was about 96 degrees with a slight breeze. I opened the door to the car and was embraced in the intoxicating smell of lavender. I walked into the Tuscan-style building and was greeted with a refreshing (and cold) glass of lavender lemonade…lavender stem included!. The boutique offers a wide array of lavender-infused items from paintings and tiles to sachets and soaps. You are invited by the very friendly and informative staff to cut lavender ($4.00 for 100 stems) or just wander through the fields and the labyrinth. They provide baskets and scissors as well as parasols to keep you out of the direct sun! Fabulous!

Amazing and I bet the smell is intoxicating!! Thank you for sharing a taste of this lovely place with us!!
I absolutely LOVE the smell of lavender! It is so calming. Whenever I've had the opportunity to visit Carmel, I love how one of my favorite restaurants named Casanova's sells lavender out front. They have bushels of lavender and the smell is awesome. Thanks for bringing that to mind for me. I would love to visit a lavender farm; love the photos.
Blessings,
Debbie
Beautiful! First thing that came to mind when I saw the photo with the mountain in the background was 'I want to live there' seriously beautiful.
HI,WONDERFUL PHOTOS! I love lavender.Hugs,Fatima-Scrapart.
That photo of Mt. Shasta in the background is a jaw-dropper. I've been to the WA state Lavender Festival in Sequim which is on the northern-most tip of the Olympic Peninsula and it was amazing. There were many lavender farms on the 'tour' & some of them offered quick classes on making lavender sachets, wands, etc. I made a lavender wreath and still have it hanging in my office. The aroma never goes away!
What a beautiful sight! Thanks for sharing these amazing photographs!

Hi Cindy,
We drove past it last year on our way to Seattle. It was not open when we drove by... How beautiful and I'm sure your senses were full of sweet lavender...
Have a sweet day, Hugs~Elizabeth
We are having a cooler day here in Menlo Park where I work. But at home its been 106 to hot for me.
I would love to visit that farm! I would be in heaven! ♥
Beautiful and amazing place and colors !!I I almost feel the flavour of this wonderful lavender! Love and hugs! Mag:)
Oh goodness, that looks like heaven on earth!
My english isn't good but I wish to say I love the flowers and the smell of lavender. I loved the your posts!!!
So beautiful, who counts the 100 stems? I bought some dried, ordered it on line it came in awful and crumbly. Then I found out there is a lavender farm in Gainsville, TX

WOW! What a beautiful place! Thanks for sharing it with us. The mountain in the background is gorgeous!
I would love to wake up to that view daily - even in a storm.
We are using more lavender scent around the house right now. I can only hope it is stress reducing.
Oh my goodness. You couldn't help but be healthier after that tour and inhaling all that goodness. Just beautiful and what a photo with the mountain in the background!
I could look at that view all day. I would love to smell the lavender, too.
Funny I just recently posted about the Cape Cod Lavender Farm. Wow, what a difference between the East and West Coast.
I love the smell of lavender and at night I always scent my bedding with it.
Even in the fall, when I'm cleaning up my garden, the lavender smells in the pile of leaves I'm raking!
I've been to Provence in lavender season and it, too, is overwhelming...
Ah beautiful photos, what a nice lavander fields, thanks for share these photos
Cindy,
The picture with the mountain in the background is jaw - dropping, stunning!! What an amazing place to visit.
