So it seems that New Jersey just got its very first U-Pick Lavender Farm – eek! (Yes, I’m ‘eek’-ing about lavender.)
Run by former state senator Ellen Karcher and her daughters, the farm sells lavender-scented sachets, soaps and body bars, and hosts demonstrations on lavender cultivation, aromatherapy, and cuisine. Karcher’s daughters also apparently whip up delicious lavender cookies, lavender tea, and lavender lemonade.
Day trip!!!
Summer hours are Saturday and Sunday 10-7, and weekdays by appointment. The farm is located at 288 Pleasant Valley Road in the Wickatunk section of Marlboro.
Thanks to Adda for the tip!
