U-Pick Fresh Lavender

Looks like this event has already taken place.

480 Brown Section Rd, Cobden, IL 62920

Visitors who want to pick are given a box, cutters, a twist tie and instructions on how to select and snip the stems. Pickers are encouraged to visit each row of lavender; whatever they can fit in the twist tie is theirs for $5 per bundle.

Actual picking dates are weekends: June 3 & 4; June 10-11; and again June 17 & 18, 2023.

A gift shop, open only during U-pick weekends, offers lavender-related lotions, soaps, home décor and other items. The farm also blends bulk teas with their lavender, selling these hand-blended teas at the gift shop, in local stores and online. The lavender lemonade recipe is available, too. And if you want to try your hand as a grower, Doug will share his knowledge of how and when to set the plants you can purchase at Shawnee Hills Lavender.
