Lavender isn’t exactly a plant most people associate with the American Midwest. It is a notoriously finicky plant to harvest, and Ohio’s harsh winters can make it difficult for this stunning flower to flourish. However, certain varieties can be coaxed to thrive here, and this lovely little lavender farm tucked away in the small town of Martinsville — approximately an hour outside of Cincinnati — is a peaceful gem just waiting to be discovered.
If you’re looking for a relaxing way to spend a late spring or summer’s day without traveling too far from home, Peaceful Acres Lavender Farm certainly delivers. The lavender will be blooming in late May, and you’ll want to plan a visit from Cincinnati to witness the beauty for yourself.
Your senses are sure to be delighted as soon you arrive, with the sweet fragrance of fresh lavender and the breathtaking beauty of this farm.
The farm is currently only open via appointment, but in just a few short weeks, when the lavender is at full bloom, the farm will be open to visitors who want to stroll through rows and rows of this fragrant plant, take some photographs, relax, and even pick their own flowers.
Don’t forget to browse through the variety of homemade goodies in their Farm Boutique (or on their website). You’ll find everything from oils and soaps to skincare and bath products, candles, and fragrance sprays.
Take a seat in one of these perfectly placed chairs and soak in the natural splendor of this peaceful farm. We could spend all day here!
Prefer a little more excitement? Well, you might want to visit on June 15-16, 2019 for their annual Summer Solstice Lavender Festival. This free, two-day event is fun for the whole family, so mark your calendar!
If you love lavender as much as we do, you’ll want to visit this hidden gem as soon as they open for the season. Not only will you get to bask in the beauty of the serene farm, but you’ll learn all about what it takes to grow lavender in Ohio.
