Five Reasons You’ll Fall in Love With Lavender at White Oak Lavender

A woman sipping coffee outside
Hi, I’m Anna Marie. I’m a wife, mother, Irish dancer, and pug mom living in North Carolina. I also love to travel. Come along for the ride! If you see something you like, don’t be afraid to say, ‘Pull over and let me out.’

While touring the Harrisonburg-Rockingham Artisan Trail I made a stop at White Oak Lavender and fell in love at first sight, taste, and smell! This charming family-owned farm on the outskirts of Harrisonburg, Virginia is such a fun and unique attraction that even though I included it in an earlier post, I wanted to dedicate a little more time to this fragrant destination in the Shenandoah Valley.

Here are just five reasons you’ll fall in love with lavender at White Oak Lavender.

#1 Stunning Scenery

One of the most appealing aspects of traveling for me is seeking out the beauty of a city or region. White Oak Lavender is set on the edge of Harrisonburg, Virginia with the foothills of the Shenandoah Valley as its backdrop. This bucolic part of the Old Dominion is like a picture postcard. White Oak Lavender accentuates the panoramic landscape with its rows and rows of fragrant lavender, grapevines, and tranquil setting. It’s the ideal location for breathing in the perfumed terrain.

At White Oak Lavender visitors are given the chance to experience and learn the manifold uses of this delightfully fragrant plant. Through education, field trips, classes, and U-pick opportunities, the lavender farm promotes and shares the wonders of lavender.

#3 Shopping at White Oak Lavender

Lavender Shop White Oak Lavender Farm PullOverandLetMeOut<

Shopping at White Oak is unlike any gift shop experience I’ve had. It’s educational and it’s ALL lavender! It’s fun discovering the goodies at White Oak’s Lavender Shop; bottled water, soaps, lotions, essential oils, teas, jams, and culinary lavender. The list of products is extensive. You may want to pick up a lavender scented stress ball to soothe you through the decision making process.

Once you fall in love with the merchandise you may need more!

White Oak Lavender’s got you covered. They offer wholesale and online shopping in addition to the Lavender Shop. I brought home a bag of their lavender-infused coffee and enjoy savoring a calming cup on weekend mornings. No doubt, I’ll be placing another order soon!

#5 Special Events at White Oak Lavender

Special Events White Oak Lavender PullOverandLetMeOut
In addition to the calendar of events sponsored by White Oak Lavender, the farm is available for private parties, intimate weddings, and photography shoots. My visit was timed to coincide with National Oyster Day. In celebration, Virginia’s coastal region joined with the Shenandoah region for a pairing of wine and oysters. It was an entertaining and informative event as well as a wonderful marriage of the two distinct regions of the state.
