What a beautiful day to visit a picturesque lavender farm! Farmstead 1868, located at 4676 Shephards Road, Cazenovia, New York 13035, is open from 10 AM – 4 PM every day this month (July 2024).

This is a lovely venue for photo opportunities. There are fields of lavender ripe for the plucking – for $15.00 you receive shears to clip bouquets. Or you can enter Monica Cody’s wonderfully merchandised shoppe, a converted silo, and find pre-cut bouquets, as well as lavender sachets, lotions, soaps and all sorts of other lavender-infused products. The lavender and vanilla scent is phenomenal!

Farmstead 1868 is participating in Open Farm Day, an event showcasing farms in the area. This will be on Saturday, July 27, 2024 from 10:00 AM – 4:00 PM. There will be farm tours and prizes in addition to what you see in my photos here.

Call (315) 655-9863 for more details. If you are looking for something fun to do summer day trip-wise, this might be the thing. Then, like we did, you can pop over to Stone Quarry HIll Art Park and circle back to Cazenovia Artisans before heading home to your neck of the woods.
