Discovered this stunning farm in Sebastopol several years ago while searching for a local source for lavender products and have been visiting every summer since. The day I visited was the first sunny day of the season, and the bees were buzzing with excitement, literally. It was like being immersed in a head-to-toe humming sound bath.
When you see photos of lavender fields, you don’t really think about the bees. But they’re there, doing their thing alongside you. Stay along the paths, walk calmly and slowly, and you’ll be fine. As I walked around taking these photos, the occasional bee would bump into me. Maybe it was sheer luck I wasn’t stung, but I’d like to think they were just too happy to notice me.
