Spring Creek Lavender

Tucked in the rolling countryside of Remsen, New York, Spring Creek Lavender is a working farm that has evolved into something rare: a destination that genuinely serves its community. The family-run operation grows several varieties of lavender — including striking white blooms — across fields that have only grown more lush and full since the farm opened a few years ago. The grounds are meticulously kept, with walking paths winding through the purple and white rows, a butterfly house, and a petting zoo that houses the farm's popular resident goats.

Goat yoga sessions are held among the lavender fields with baby goats that freely interact with participants

The farm's goat yoga program takes advantage of the setting, with classes held outdoors where the lavender provides both scenery and fragrance. Baby goats move through the group during sessions, and handlers ensure even the youngest visitors get close encounters with the animals. The goat yoga is part of a broader roster of family-friendly attractions that includes u-pick lavender and flower harvesting, seasonal events like Christmas specials with Santa, and date night programming. The butterfly house offers a quieter counterpoint to the playful goat sessions.

A family operation where every member works the land and the shop, keeping costs accessible for the community

The family behind Spring Creek Lavender runs every aspect of the operation themselves, and their presence is felt throughout the visit. They staff the Lavender Farm Shop, which sells lavender honey and other farm-produced goods, and they maintain the property without the premium pricing that similar destinations often charge. The farm has expanded steadily over the years, adding attractions like the petting zoo and butterfly house, but has done so without losing the peaceful, unhurried atmosphere that drew early visitors. Spring and summer are the primary seasons, when the lavender is in full bloom and the goats are most active. The farm is open for u-pick during these months, and the fields are at their most photogenic from late June through August.
