With just a short drive from the hustle and bustle of city life, the Lavender Festival is a perfect day in the country. Not only is this event a celebration of all the wonders of lavender, but also an event that knits together local, talented artisans and food. The festival offers outstanding photographic opportunities throughout the grounds and at the demonstrations.

Lockwood Farm is a 120 acre family owned farm tucked in the beautiful hills overlooking Skaneateles Lake. We grow 18 varieties of lavender and offer “U-Pick” for the flowers during the summer and lovely soap, lotions, creams and aromatherapy products for your purchase. We are excited to be developing our farm for the enjoyment of our guests.

Festival activities occur outdoors rain or shine. Dress casually to ensure your comfort. Lockwood Lavender Farm is a working farm with unpaved pathways. It is accessible, but there is uneven terrain on the grounds and in the fields.
