Lavender's blue, dilly dilly......





We visited Keys Creek Lavender Farm this week in Valley Center which is in the northeast part of San Diego County. It's a lovely drive out there, windy at bits but you pass through beautiful, rural parts of San Diego that you might not have even have known existed. The owner, Chris lead us on a tour of the grounds and taught us about the different types of lavender, the uses of it, history of the farm, and treated us to some very refreshing lavender lemonade at the end of the tour.


There's a lavender labrynth on the property as well as a gift shop with many forms of lavender for your every need; soap, shampoo, teas, lotions, essence oil, satchets. All is available at their online store as well at Keys Creek Lavender Farm. There's also a tea house where you have special parties and a meditation area where massage and riki are available.

If you want to visit the farm, now is the time to do it. Harvesting is during May and June from 10am-4pm and they have free walking tours at 1030am and 130pm. Or you can sign up for private tours.











Keep Soaring (& landing safely)


in beautiful San Diego
