Willowfield Lavender Farm

Such a hidden gem! I wish more people knew about this place (making assumptions based on the lack of Yelp reviews when writing this one). Libbe and her husband created such a wonderful space, full of zen! A great way to escape the hustle and bustle of city life and it's only 30 min drive from downtown Indy! There is a cute gift shop, filled with all things lavender! Sleep masks, soaps, lotions, teas, bunches, and more. I was quite literally in my personal heaven. Not only is this a gift shop but you're free to explore the farm and grounds. There is a great space to get away and be surrounded by nature and the woods. It also happens to be a place to rent for events like weddings. Be sure to visit their website/social media for the most updated info on seasonal hours and openings. Be sure to stop by during the season and visit this hidden gem!

It's a long drive out in the country but worth the trip! The only negative was our first impression when we walked into the shop. The owner and her employee were in conversation, and neither greeted us, spoke to us, or even nodded. A simple "Hi" with a smile would have made all the difference. Nice selection in the shop. We thoroughly enjoyed the lavender cookies and tea! I loved that they use biodegradable straws and recycle the cups! The shop porch is a lovely spot to sit on a swing and disconnect from the world. In July, the lavender was not in bloom, but that didn't diminish our enjoyment at all. There is a 'secret' path to "The Sanctuary" - a small grove of Osage orange trees. Unfortunately it's not a secret to mosquitoes, so bring big spray. The grounds are beautiful. We enjoyed walking around and taking pictures and buying lavender souvenirs in the gift shop. This place is small, but the country road drive was fun and worth the trip. The smells are heavenly!

A magical, beautiful, peaceful place. This weekend I went a visited this beautiful lavender farm.The feelings I had while visiting was just peaceful. The staff was so friendly. I got to enjoy a Raspberry Lavender iced tea sweetened with honey while walking around the grounds. The lavender wasn't ready to pick just yet but it will in a few weeks and I can't WAIT to go back. Highly recommend this place to everyone!

A lovely, peaceful spot just south of Indianapolis. If you are looking to get away from noise and paint, read or just spend a couple hours in the country this is a nice place to do it. They also serve teas, cookies and sell products made from the lavender on their farm. I would suggest taking your own water, as they only sell the tea. It was not overly crowded and there's not a lot of parking, so I would try to go right when they open. A lovely hidden gem.

The lavender farm is the best for weddings, concerts, walks, photo shoots, and has the best store with delicious lavender tea and soaps and lotions and art. Libbe (the owner) is the sweetest woman ever and is personable and really makes the whole farm such a magical experience. This place is its own little whimsical world, it feels like straight out of a movie and is so fun to go to for a picnic or to buy some wonderful products or just to look around and take in the sites and smells of the lavender and beautiful forest.

As I travel around Central Indiana during my retirement, I am always amazed when I find a cool local place that I've never visited. Such is the case with Willowfield Lavender Farm. Located between Mooresville and Greenwood, the 28 acre farm has four acres of lavender, a store, woodlands, and is frequently host to weddings/receptions/events on their grounds.The owners of the farm have a house built with recycled barn lumber next to the store. Tours of the house are included when you spend $5 for the tea sampling, lavender talk/Q&A, and field visit. If you aren't interested in the house tour or speech, you can wander the store or the grounds for free! There are several grassy trails through the woods and meadows. One of the trails leads back to an open area where there is a clearing in the woods that is often used for weddings and parties.The owners love southern France, specifically around Provence. The store features lavender products, postcards of lavender and France, and items like linens, honey, and anything else that caught their eye while overseas.The only negative is that the business, because it is so dependent upon the growing of the lavender, is only open to the public for the summer months, usually after Memorial Day. (You have to check their website to keep up with hours/events.) The lavender begins getting the purple color that most visitors want to see in late May through mid September. However, because it is harvested for the store (sachets are available for purchase), the visual effect may not be as spectacular on your visit. I had the misfortune of visiting the day after a harvesting, so the fields looked a bit picked over. Fortunately, my visit was free and because the location is so close, easy for me to make a return visit in a few weeks.Note that the 4 acres is a nice size, but if you don't have a concept of acreage, it won't look like the gigantic fields of lavender that you see in France. The owners have added other visual features to spruce up the property like a gazebo and an adult garden swing; plenty to still take pictures of. You can bring your own lunch and picnic on the grounds as long as the property isn't being rented for the day. Fun Fact: Several times a year they team up with Mallow Run Winery (only a few miles away) and host events with music on the grounds. Parking is limited to space on the grass along the driveway and in a neighboring field during the events.Review #921

This place is a photographers DREAM! Absolutely beautiful scenery, every last inch of the property. The owners are not only extremely friendly, they are eager and happy to help and give advice of all the best spots for photos on their farm. It began to lightly shower towards the end of our shoot, and suddenly one of the owners appeared on his golf cart and offered to rescue us. Wonderful hospitality! Definitely a breath taking spot for a wedding!

Oh, the smells! (most creative intro ever, right?)lavender sachets, lavender soap, lavender soap, lavender lotion, etc., etc. Fields of lavender surrounding the dreamy lavender cottage house were beautiful - note that Willowfield is open very seasonally, so check before making the trip. YUI (yelping under the influence) - be warned.

If you're local, this is a cute and unique spot to check out. I LOVE the little shop. There's a variety of lavender products you can buy. I bought a satin gift bag filled with some of the best lotion I've ever used and amazing linen & room spray. I love knowing that the products are natural and don't contain a bunch of chemicals. I also bought my own lavender plant. The couple that owns the place are very friendly and helped me with my purchases. My friend and I mostly came to walk the grounds. We thought that part would be much more than it was. It was a quick and easy walk with not a lot to do. There are some cool spots to see (The Sanctuary, which includes one of the coolest trees I've seen) and of course the lavender field itself. Try to time it though so that the lavender has it's purple color if you want to get the most of your visit (mid-May). Overall, it's a cool spot. I will probably continue to come here just to re-stock on the amazing lotion I purchased. But if you don't live close by, I don't know if there's enough to do here to make the trip worth it. My friend and I were here for less than an hour -- that includes walking all of the trails and spending a good chunk of time in the shop.

What a charming store. I tried a lavender and mint iced tea. The owner even took me on a tour of their beautiful home made from repurposed items. I bought a lavender plant and he gave me instructions on how to care for it. They have concerts in the summer, can't wait go to one.
