FAQs: "You have lavender farms here?!"







Yes, we DO have lavender farms here. In fact, we have TWO lavender farms in Washington County. :-)

North of Chappell Hill along FM 1155 you'll find Chappell Hill Lavender Farm, a beautiful little farm with rows of lavender growing in the field in front of a quaint gift shop. Inside you'll find many crafty and delicious things that can be made with or from lavender. Grab some clippers and a basket at the door and meander through the field cutting your own lavender to take home with you.

Chappell Hill Lavender Farm is open weekends March-November and is located at 2250 Dillard Road, Brenham. Online shopping for all things lavender is also available through their website.

Travel south of Chappell Hill along FM 1371 you'll find Lavande Farm (pronounced la-vond). Located at 9665 Loop Road, Bellville, Lavande Farm is not just about lavender, but also olives! Owner and former photographer, "Farmer Craig," was in France when he discovered his love for lavender and returned home to start his farming journey.

 Lavande is open April-October at the Bellville farm, sells their products at many farmers markets and retail stores in the Houston & Austin area, and just recently opened a storefront in downtown Chappell Hill. The store is now open Mon-Sat 10-4. Online shopping is also available through their website.
