Step away from the desert heat and into fragrant fields at Life Under The Oaks Lavender Farm. Their unique Afternoon Tea offers a refreshing outdoor escape where lavender blooms and local flavors combine beneath shady oak trees.
Shade is limited outside the oak tree picnic areas, so wear sunscreen and a hat during peak afternoon hours.
The farm’s picnic baskets are popular and often require advance reservations to guarantee availability.
The farm paths are unpaved but well maintained; closed-toe shoes will keep you comfortable while sightseeing and picking lavender bundles.
Play zones and animals offer fun for children, but keep an eye on little ones near the animals and farm equipment.
