Pick Your Own Lavender at Yule Love It Lavender Farm
Picking lavender in full bloom is a soothing experience that yields a
beautiful, scented bouquet with many benefits and uses. If kept dry and
out of sunlight, lavender can hold its scent indefinitely. Yule Love It
lavender is grown without chemicals, so you can include what you pick in
your favorite
sweet and savory dishes.
Please call 248.628.7814 to confirm availability before you
drive out. We welcome individuals to groups for U-Pick.
U-Pick time-line: Typically the end of June through the
end of July, then blooms again late September through frost. The second
bloom isn't nearly as fecund, but just as fragrant. Yule Love It has 15
varieties for you to harvest, blooming in succession from the end
of June throughout the summer.
Visit
the Varieties link to learn when each variety typically blooms.
Fresh lavender bundles: For those who cannot tolerate
the sun, p
re-bundled beautiful bouquets are
available for $10 each during harvest.
Dried lavender bundles: We have dried lavender bundles
in stock at $10 each.
Lavender care: Place your lavender bundle in a dry
place out of direct sun when you take it home. Do not put it in a vase
that does not allow air for the stems to dry, otherwise the stems will
mildew. Your lavender will dry perfectly within a week if dried
properly. You do not have to hang lavender upside down to dry unless you
pick immature stems that wilt.
To release the lovely lavender scent after the bundle has dried, simply
sacrifice a few buds and crush them between your fingers.
