Red Oak Lavender Farm in Dahlonega
Red Oak Lavender Farm is family-owned and the largest lavender farm in Georgia that is open to the public. Located at the foothills of the North Georgia Mountains in Dahlonega, the farm grows 15 different varieties of lavender that grow in different stages to allow for a longer harvest season. Additionally, the farm features flower gardens, including hundreds of blooming alliums, dahlias, sunflowers, zinnias, and more! Red Oak Lavender Farm also hosts special events, including wine glass painting, u-pick events, and classes for cultivating and using lavender plants in jewelry, skincare, and home decor.
There is no fee to visit the shop, but there may be a parking fee during peak season to walk around the plants and take non-professional photos. Note that this does not include picking any lavender. Guests may only pick lavender with a pre-paid ticket during the harvest.
Look for other local destinations that use Red Oak Lavender Farm’s culinary lavender to make spirits like lavender vodka and lavender mead.
When to Visit Red Oak Lavender Farm
The peak lavender season is June, and it offers the most blooms and special treats like lavender ice cream. Updates are posted on Facebook to share what types of lavender are currently available. Although June is the peak lavender season, the wide variety of plant types means there are also blooms in July through the early Fall, depending on the weather.
No dogs or pets are allowed (except for service animals). Professional photographers must make a reservation and pay a fee to use the fields. Regular business hours are Wednesday – Sunday. Note that the farm is closed on Mondays, Tuesdays, on holidays, and during winter months of January and February.

I would like to take my elderly mother to one of these lavender farms, but she is a bit mobility challenged. Is it difficult to get around, or do any of them offer riding tours?
Hi, Amy. The lavender farms are walkable but may have uneven terrain, which could be a consideration for mobility. Unfortunately, they do not offer riding tours. If you have specific accessibility concerns, contacting the farms directly to discuss any accommodations they may have may be best.
Thanks so much for sharing so many great tips and sites to incorporate the natural healing properties – as well as delicious taste of lavender into my life! The sites to visit look stunning and I can just see my children running around and me taking some beautiful pictures of them in the fields surrounded by the gorgeous shades of lilac’s and blue’s. I’m a spiritual little thing and learnt sometime ago that growing lavender at the front of your property wards off negative energy and also that sleeping with it under your pillow supports restful sleep and improves the manifestation process, so I’ll definitely be planning a visit to stock up soon! 🙂 Best wishes, Ade.
Hello, Ade! How cool!!
I hadn’t heard of lavender’s potential to keep away negative energy, but the power of the lovely scent always lifts my spirits, so I’m not surprised. The plants are beautiful, and the fragrance is one of my favorites, so a North Georgia lavender farm visit is always a welcome way to spend an afternoon in the mountains. Enjoy!
Thank you so much for showing me this site! Purple is my wife’s favorite color so she would love this place. We live about 100 miles away in TN right across the border but closer to the KY than the GA border.
There are so many “lavender” places here – who know?
And you have a beautiful site here as well – really nice to look at and responsive on mobile devices! Kudos for such a beautiful website!
This truly looks like a beautiful place to go to – I will definitely have to investigate.
Dave.
Hi Dave, What a sweet gesture to think of how much your wife will enjoy the fields of purple blooms at the lavender farms in North Georgia! Right now is the best time to visit as the harvest is underway but will be wrapping up soon. Enjoy!
Wow, first thing I noticed was how easy you’ve made it to connect over social media on your site. That’s awesome! Very interesting information about lavender. I especially like the idea of lavender ice cream! Sounds delicious. I didn’t know there was so much info out there on lavender and you have opened my eyes to all the possibilities and fun activities to do by going to lavender farms in the north Georgia mountains. Thanks!
Thank you for your kind words. It’s good timing to find this article right now as harvest has just begun and it is the best time of year to visit the North Georgia lavender farms!
