What to Bring: Gas up before you come. The nearest 24/7 gas station is 6 miles away. We've given gas to visitors before and we're happy to help but we it happens often enough to warrant mentioning here. Bring some water as it does get hot here. We have ice cold bottled water but we certainly encourage people to bring their own. Also be sure to bring sunscreen and a hat. See "attire" below for more ideas.

Admission: Admission is free and parking is free. There is no admission fee however the bbq, cooking classes and tea parties (just to name a few) do have a fee and may require pre-registration. See the schedule of events for details.

Accessibility: Our primary concern is your safety. Many safety improvements have made however we are a working farm so please keep a few things in mind. If you bring your children they must be kept under your supervision at all times. Please do not allow your children to engage in any unsafe behavior.

The terrain is not flat. Some areas of the farm might be challenging to those with limited mobility. The lower fields, gift shop, one of the vendor areas and perhaps the labyrinth may be accessible. There are several resting spots, some with shade, along the paths. There are reserved handicapped parking spaces and handicapped accessible potties. There is a special drop-off zone available to visitors and a golf cart ride from the parking lot can be arranged.

Attire: Keys Creek Lavender Farm is beautiful but it can get hot here. We suggest loose fitting, light-colored natural fiber clothing. That being said, we are situated at the head of a valley and the farm can get a nice, strong  breeze. At times it can even get a little chilly. So, prepare to be hot and prepare to be cool.

Rules: There are no pets, no smoking and no alcohol and no picnics permitted on the farm.  

  • Though rare, rattlesnake sightings have occurred on our property. We strongly suggest closed, flat, rubber-soled shoes to increase your protection and traction.
  • And please....we are USDA Certified Organic. Please respect our designation and do everything you can to protect our status. Visitors are asked to please refrain from entering the lavender rows. 'U-pick' is not available at the farm.
  • We do keep bees on the property, but they will generally leave us alone if they are left alone. Please do not go into the clearly marked beekeeping area.
  • There is a private residence on the farm. Visitors are asked to please stay on the farm.
  • We enjoy an incredible relationship with our neighbors. We are making an effort to meet even more neighbors. In our effort to share the beauty of this farm with the public we also do whatever we can to be respectful of our neighbors and the environment. We ask that our visitors share in our efforts. Please do not litter. Please do not drive fast. Please yield to larger, oncoming vehicles. Please do not drive on private property without prior approval. 
Please allow everyone the opportunity to enjoy the farm peacefully.
