Lockwood Farm would like to extend our appreciation to all who joined us for the 3rd annual Finger Lakes Lavender Festival. We welcomed over 1000 visitors the second weekend of July to celebrate the love of lavender. Sharing the love we have for the farm and our lavender with so many people has been a dream for us. Seeing the enjoyment and the smiles of our guests has given us the desire to continue to grow.

We especially want to thank all of our volunteers and artists. We certainly couldn’t have done it without them. We look forward to the next step in improving this event with their ideas and encouragement.

Thanks to the many lavender lovers who purchased Royal Velvet lavender plants a check for $1000 was presented to Joan Thompsen, during the festival for the Skaneateles Historical Society expansion project.

Once again, thank you for supporting a family farm. We look forward to seeing you next year on July 9th & 10th 2011.

The Third Annual Finger Lakes Lavender Festival will be held at Lockwood Farm, located at 1682 West Lake Road, Skaneateles, New York. The 2-day event will take place on Saturday, July 10th and Sunday, July 11, from 9a.m. to 4 p.m.

•Speak to experts on growing and cultivating lavender and make your own lavender wands.

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. Workshops will be held on how to grow, prune, care and harvest lavender at 10:00 am both days. And make your our lavender wands, held at 2:00pm. Lavender, ribbon and materials will be available for $5. each. The festival offers outstanding photographic opportunities throughout the grounds and at the workshops.

Lockwood Farm is a 120 acre family owned farm tucked in the beautiful hills of Skaneateles overlooking Skaneateles Lake. We grow 16 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 Farm is a working farm with unpaved pathways. It is accessible, but there is uneven terrain on the grounds and in the fields.

Directions to Lockwood Farm: From the village of Skaneateles take Kane Road/41A. Continue south on West Lake Road/41A 8 miles. Past the hamlet of Mandana, we are the first farm past fire lane 50 on the left hand side.
