Fertile soil abounds here in Texas, and gardening is one of our favorite pastimes. If you don’t have room to grow your own fruits, vegetables, and herbs, the next-best thing is getting them straight from the source. Head to Lavender Ridge Farms in Gainesville and pick your very own lavender to use however you please.
Lavender Ridge Farms has been owned by the same family for over 150 years, getting its start as a strawberry & melon farm before evolving into lavender, cut-flowers, and herbs.

The beautiful crop starts blooming in spring and stops around mid-summer, providing ample time for you and your family to head out there and pick some for yourselves.

It also serves as an educational trip for the kids - you’d be surprised how much you learn about nature and agriculture by immersing yourself in it.

There’s even a cafe opening on April 1 with delicious, down-home food featuring fresh herbs from the farm.
