We told y’all about Lavender Ridge Farms a while back, but they recently added a cafe that deserves a top spot on your bucket list. All the menu items feature homegrown lavender picked mere hours before serving, and the freshness is undeniable.

Lavender Ridge Farms has been owned by the same family for over 150 years. It started as a strawberry and melon farm before the owners began growing lavender, geraniums, and other flowers, and herbs.

After frolicking through the fields, pop into Lavender Cafe for a light meal. Grab a seat on the screened patio and gaze out at vibrant blooms extending far as the eye can see.

Difficult as it may be, try to save room for dessert. There are only three choices, so get one of everything for the whole table to share. Lavender cheesecake, a lavender brownie sundae, and lavender lemon gooey butter cake all contribute distinctly different yet equally delicious flavors that make it impossible to stop eating.
