Peace Valley Lavender Farm boasts an entire field full of the purple buds that the owners use to fashion many creative products. A visit to the farm will show you how lavender is used in cooking, aroma therapies, bath and body products, dried floral arrangements, gift baskets and sachets. As an added perk, there’s even an onsite shop selling such wares. This may sound like a long list of things only mom would enjoy, but the farm is the perfect place for kids to get in on the action, as well. Take a few moments to teach your tykes about the senses, especially smell, with this rustic local retreat. The Doylestown-based business also offers views of Bucks County’s Lake Galena to accompany its aromatic treasures. So, spare a couple minutes in your busy schedule to stop and smell the lavender.
