Editor's Choice: This Lavender Farm Near Toronto Lets You Wander Fields & Pick Your Own Bouquet

The lavender farm is situated in a peaceful countryside setting next to a spring-fed lake where you can soak up gorgeous calm water views. 

Even your doggo can come to enjoy the scenery, just make sure they’re on a leash. 

Small picnics can be arranged over the phone prior to your visit. However, the farm will not be hosting large group events this year.

But is there really anything better than enjoying a cozy picnic blanket and snacks with your BFF anyway?

We don’t think so.

You’ll also find a cute gift shop on site where you can score all kinds of lavender-based products, from beauty to health and even culinary delights.

It’s worth noting that at the time of writing, masks are required inside the gift shop.

But don’t worry, they have some available for sale in the shop if you forget to bring yours.

Out in the fields, there is a recreational area that features a trampoline, playground equipment, and a lazy hammock for you to lounge in.

So if your summer needs a little more hammock lounging, flower strolling, and picnicking, this might be just the place for you.
