We just love lavender 💜

Scones, matcha, soda, ice cream, lattes — if it exists, we've probably lavender-ified it. Honestly, we may have a problem.

And it doesn't stop at what's in your cup — tea, cream, shampoo, and more are all sitting in our stores, made from the lavender growing right outside. 🌾

Find it in person, or shop it all on the website.

We’ve whipped up a Farm Bingo card at Lavandula, because “just go for a walk” is a hard sell to a 6-year-old, but “find the goose, spot a cow, say hi to our emus” hits different.

Next time you’re here, grab a free card, hand it to your smallest human, and watch them turn into the world’s most dedicated farm detective. Every corner of the property becomes a clue. Every animal becomes a mission. Every square you tick off is basically a gold medal.

Meanwhile, the grown-ups get to actually enjoy the wander too, coffee in hand, lavender fields in view, zero nagging about being bored.

It’s giving: family day out, but make it a game.

📍 350 Hepburn-Newstead Road, Shepherds Flat VIC

There’s something magical about Lavandula Farm in the rain 🌧️💜 Misty rows and moody skies over Shepherds Flat — this is the farm at its most enchanting. It’s the quiet hush over the property, the warmth of Maria’s Trattoria, ducking into the shops for a browse, and those little witchy goodies waiting to be discovered. Some of the best farm days happen when the weather turns.

Why our geese don’t mind the rain 🪿🌧️

Ever noticed our geese at Lavandula just standing calmly in the rain, not a bother in sight? There’s a simple reason for that, their feathers are naturally waterproof.

Geese spread natural oils through their feathers as they preen, so rain just beads off instead of soaking through. Underneath, a layer of soft down keeps them warm and dry. So while we’re reaching for umbrellas, they’re perfectly happy standing right where they are.

Next time you’re at the farm on a rainy day, keep an eye out for them, rain or shine, they’re always part of the Lavandula experience
