About Lavender Hill Farm

Lavender Hill Farm, located in Boyne City, Michigan, operates as a farm-based events venue offering hands-on workshops and seasonal gatherings. The farm hosts a rotating schedule of creative experiences, including pottery painting sessions—stoneware mugs, beach plates, and pie plates or loaf pans—led by Cottage Pottery instructors. Most pottery workshops provide all materials and yield functional stoneware pieces.

Floral design offerings are led by florist Sydney Wormell and include a Sunflower Floral Design session and Dried Floral Wreath Workshops scheduled for June 30 and August 13. The wreath workshop focuses on an 18-inch wreath made with eucalyptus and dried flowers. Painting classes feature professional artist Daniel Duncan with guided instruction to complete an 11x14 canvas; all painting supplies are provided. Driftwood Art workshops, guided by Jen Barratt, use real driftwood for nature-inspired creations.

Lavender Hill Farm also programs community events in and around the Red Barn, including candlelight yoga with a concluding sound bath, and themed movie nights such as Twilight and Wicked shown under the barn’s rafters. Movie nights often include lawn games and a BYO beverage option. Activities are presented as accessible to a range of skill levels and are positioned to promote creativity, mindfulness, and relaxed social connection.
