Do you allow weddings at the farm?

We are so honored that you would consider us for your special day but the short answer is no. We are a quiet, rural business and our goal is to give families, friends, and our community a place to gather away from the city and the stresses of life. Weddings do not fit within those ultimate goals and so we must respectfully decline.

Patrons are able to enjoy drip coffee, espressos, lattes, cappuccinos, mochas, americanos and teas. Our coffee beans are sourced from St. Louis' own Kaldi's coffee. You will also have the opportunity to enjoy homemade desserts including cream pies, cupcakes, and cookies including some with a culinary lavender touch.  The cafe is open Wednesday through Saturday from 10AM-4PM with lunch being offered from 11AM-2PM.

Yes, you are welcome to bring your dog to enjoy the farm!  We ask they be kept on a leash and that you would kindly pick up after them if the need should arise!!  We also ask that you enjoy your cafe items at our outside seating; picnic or patio tables as we do not allow dogs inside the cafe.  

What flowers do you grow and when do they bloom?

Daffodils - April
Peonies - May
Lavender - late May to mid June - some re-bloom in September
Zinnias - August - we will have a few but they are not as prolific this year
Sunflowers - our sunflowers did not produce well this season and what little we had was enjoyed by our local deer population. 
Mexican Sage - late September till frost (personal favorite)

What varieties of lavender bloom and when?

Munstead and Hidcote Blue - bloom 1st week of June

Sensational and Phenomenal - bloom 2nd & 3rd weeks of June

When is harvest time?

The lavender is harvested after our "U-Pick" events - usually the final week of June-1st week of July.

How long does it take lavender to dry after harvest?

Lavender is a beautiful flower on a delicate stem, consequently drying time does not take long. After the lavender is harvested and bundled, drying takes about 3 weeks. We dry the lavender bundles in our loft; you are definitely encouraged to visit that area of our barn to see the flowers.

Do you allow "you pick" of the flowers?

Our u-pick will begin on Friday, June 7 & Saturday, June 8, 2024 while supplies last. If blooms remain, we will continue the u-pick June 12-15. Please watch our social medias @longrowlavender for more information.
