2011 hours: Opens May 15th thru June 30. Saturday 9am-5pm. Sunday 1pm-5pm.

Our farm will be on tour during the lavender festival. Beginning Friday May 27th the farm will be open from 1 to 5 on Fridays, all day Saturdays from 9 to 5, and Sundays 1 to 5. After the mid-June festival, we will be open on Saturday and Sunday only, or by special reservation.

How about a picnic in the country? We do love to share the beauty of the hill country so as in past years come and bring your picnic lunch, a blanket and your family. We have several areas set up to accommodate family and group picnic outings with tables and chairs, etc. The big Live Oak tree makes a great picnic spot while looking out on the lavender fields and enjoying the wonderful clean fragrance of lavender.

The schedule for dinosaur track tours will be posted on our website by May. There will be a $5 charge per person and a release form will be required for each person taking the tour. Sorry, infants will not be taken on the tours due to the heat and terrain. Please wear comfortable shoes, bring sunscreen and be ready for some time out in the typically hot summer sun! The tours will be scheduled before noon and possibly late in the day based on interest.

Lavender, like the Texas wildflowers, need good fall and spring rains for a great bloom season like we had last year. Although our rainfall has been scarce, we should have blooms for you to enjoy and cut to take home with you – cut your own bundle for $5 or pick up a ready-cut bundle for $7. Bring your cameras, you may want to take some of the memories home with you. Please check the Chamber of Commerce website for bloom status.

Our friend and talented flintknapper “Mr Bill” will be with us this year. The arrowheads he crafts are truly amazing. Sit under the live oak trees and watch as Mr. Bill carves arrowheads out of stone just like the Indians once did. “Mr. Bill” will have some of these wonderful works of art available for purchase.

Check out our photos on this website as we are branching out to host events such as weddings, wedding brunches, reunions, birthday parties and BBQ’s. This is a great place to host a surprise party/BBQ. We have crouquet, volleyball, washers and horseshoes for you to enjoy. For small children we have powerwheels (red mustang, four wheeler, etc.) Dino track tours can be arranged also if you are looking for something “different” for a birthday party. There is plenty of room for the children to play and many beautiful backdrops for your picture making memories.
