Picture this: Rows upon rows of wild, unbelievably fragrant, vibrant purple stems of lavender sprouting in every direction you look. That’s the sight you’ll see when you visit Red Oak Lavender Farm in the beautiful rolling mountains of Dahlonega, Georgia. This lavender farm in Georgia is the very first and only open-to-the-public lavender farm in the entire North Georgia area. That should be enough reason for you to start planning your trip, but if you need a bit more incentive, then here it is…
Red Oak Lavender Farm grows about 1,200 lavender plants of 18 different varieties on their farm.
For example, Red Oak Lavender Farm grows the Royal Velvet lavender which is used in culinary techniques, as well as the Grosso lavender, which is most fragrant.
Red Oak continues to plant acres of lavender so that guests can come and not only bathe in the beauty of the vibrant plant, but also indulge in the scent with each step they take.
What makes Red Oak so unique, besides being the only public lavender farm in North Georgia, is the fact that lavender is extremely difficult to grow in the state!
There is a store on site, where you can peruse and learn about the different types of lavender grown on the farm, as well as purchase goods made from the lavender!
