7 Lavender Farms, Fields, & Festivals in Oregon

Provence, France may have beautiful lavender fields, but you can also get some magnificent Instagram photos a little closer to home at the stunning lavender fields in Oregon!

Checking out the Oregon lavender farms in summer is a magnificent experience with the potential to become an epic adventure, with views of towering snow-capped mountains and detours to enchanting waterfalls possible as you explore the beautiful Oregon lavender fields blooming across the state.

While most of Oregon’s lavender is grown to the south of Portland, there are also a scattering of lavender farms in other parts of Oregon, such as Hood River, Madras, and Redmond.

A trip to one or more of these Oregon lavender farms will provide you with not only beautiful lavender flower arrangements to bring home, but also heavenly handmade essential oils, lavender-scented lotions, and organic soaps.

Can’t get enough lavender? During the second week of July, the Oregon Lavender Association organizes a farm tour across the state.

Many Oregon lavender farms that are not usually open to the public are open for these weekends. Many of the farms on the route have festivals, workshops, and delicious food.

Below are some of Oregon’s best lavender fields, along with all the pertinent information you will need to plan your Oregon summer frolics!

The fields are usually in bloom during June and July. 

However, there are several varieties of lavender that begin blooming in the later parts of May.

What will I find at an Oregon lavender farm?

Besides beautiful lavender fields, many of the farms have shops where they sell various lavender products made with lavender from their farm. 

These products include soaps, candles, lotions, lip balm, edible lavender products like teas and lemonades, and much, much more!

Some “U-Pick” farms even permit you to pick bouquets of lavender straight from the field, which is a fun experience… so long as you’re not afraid of, or allergic to, bees — which also love lavender!

What should I wear and bring to the Oregon lavender fields?

In terms of what to bring, don’t forget a hat, sunscreen, water bottle, a picnic lunch, and any sort of medication like allergy medicine or an EpiPen if anyone in your party has a bee allergy. Bees love lavender plants and while they mostly keep to themselves, bee stings are definitely possible.

If you’re visiting a “U-Cut” lavender farm that allows you to cut your own lavender, you may want to bring gardening gloves, gardening shears (though some farms provide this), as well as a basket or bucket for bringing your lavender haul home in!

For beautiful lavender photos, wear white or other bright colors that complement purple to stand out in your photos. The light tends to be better in the morning and late afternoon. Avoid taking photos around noon, when the light can be harsh.
