Frog Creek Lavender Farm

My wife found this place off the road on our way to Ojai. A very beautiful farm with peaceful spots to sit back and relax. The owners are extremely kind and hospitable. We picked 3 bundles of lavender and paid 15 $. We’ll make a stop again if we’re ever in town.

My God… if there was one thing that could keep me in the state of California, this lavender farm would be it, Unilocal.I love this place SO MUCH, I’m gonna do something that I rarely do on Unilocal…

Located right off the Ojai-​Santa Paula Road (which runs between the cities of Ojai and Santa Paula), Christel and her husband have made a small farm into a wonderful little slice of Ojai heaven.
You can pick your own lavender,
drink lavender lemonade ($ 3),
rest/​swing on the small hammocks in the shade (pillows provided),
peruse the small gift shop and buy all types of lavender products,
pick your own peaches,
pick your own sunflowers,
bring a picnic basket and have a picnic under the shade…
She has everything! I’m proud of her, I’m envious, I’m inspired. A bit jealous, but A LOT happy. Mixed emotions, you know? Hahaha! I’m complicated.
But MOST of all, I’m her biggest fan. Sometimes you never know how your purpose and your passions inspire other people. Thanks, Christel. I would love to do something like this one day. Probably serve up lavender scones and tea. Until then, you do it, Christel!

Went to the lavender festival in Ojai. Quaint little town, but we quickly became overwhelmed by the festival crowd and amount of product the various vendors had for sale. Saw this farm on Unilocal and thought we’d stop in on our way back to LA. It is a sweet little place, with a sweet little family. The daughter greeted us warmly, and explained the process and cost ($ 5 a bundle-can’t beat it), the dad took the time to explain, and demo the different types of lavender by crushing flowers from each variety in his hands so we got a sense of each fragrance, and the mom in the little gift shop was just as sweet as could be. Even the bees working the field were friendly, and didn’t seem to mind sharing the sweet smelling buds. Not a single bee sting. Had we more time, we’d have cut sunflowers and explored a little more, but we had to get back to LA. This family genuinely likes people. We’ll totally be back! I wish however, they’d set up a little lavender lemonade stand. Lavender picking is thirsty work. I wonder if they grow lemons?

Was visiting Ojai for the Lavender Festival. On the the way home stopped by to check out this farm… met the owner who was do nice and welcoming… had a great conversation about the different varieties of lavender and ideas for use from recipes to decorating.
It may be a little difficult to find but the drive and views to get here are nice.
I purchased a lavender bundle and hand crafted soap.
*as someone said to me «you do know lavender us a weed»…so what it smells really good!
