In these tours we will guide you through the lavender fields and explain the different sorts of lavender and how they grow, visit the alpacas (and feed them) and show you how the lavender still works. The cost of this is $20 per adult and kids for free. Please leave a message or book via facebook messenger, txt 021 111 6686 or email on [email protected]
The farm shop will also be open from 10am to 3pm
