Get back to nature at Mad Lavender Farm as it opens for its eighth year of goat yoga, hands-on workshops, and “pick your own” lavender.

The lavender fields are in full, glorious bloom from mid-June through the first week of July. Pick Your Own Lavender is offered by reservation only, so book your appointment early through the website. Visitors can also enjoy an array of lavender products such as bath and body products, soap, honey, candles, and cookies in their tiny shop.

The farm also hosts a private picnic area (by reservation only) perfect for gathering with family and friends. For a truly unforgettable day, add a Mini Make & Take Workshop, a Sound Bath Session, or a private Goat Yoga Party.

In addition to workshops in crafting lavender wands and wreaths, they offer workshops in herbology, self-care, and their latest workshop in Mushroom Cultivation, which teaches participants how to grow their own gourmet mushrooms at home. 

Location: 452 County Road 579, Milford, NJ. Shop hours are 10 a.m. to 2 p.m., Friday-Sunday. For additional information visit MadLavenderFarm.com. See ad, page 25.
