1. Kin Loch Farmstead
Type: U-pick Lavender Farm
4299 Ridge Road, Cambria / Website / Facebook
2022 Update: Sold Out for the Season
This adorable lavender farm (and wedding venue) opened for u-pick a couple summers ago. Since then, they have been bombarded with lavender pickers; selling out way sooner than they thought they would. It’s easy to say that this business has been thriving. Apparently, Western New Yorkers love lavender!
Kin Loch is located along the Niagara Wine Trail in Cambria, New York, about 30 minutes from Buffalo on a 30 acre property with 2,000 plants of English and French lavender and an organic flower garden.
Did we mention they have a shop that offers lavender and honey based products and offer classes? Visit kinlochfarmstead.com for more info.

13187 Vaughn St, Springville / Website / Facebook
This hidden gem (well, not so hidden anymore) in Springville, NY is as delightful as it sounds. People visit from across Western New York to pick their own beautiful bouquet; leaving charmed by owner Ellen and her flower farm.
