I've actually never heard of businesses like this before where you get a season pass and you pick your flowers, but you seem to have a lot of them around you. Okay, I have been to a blueberry farm before, does that really count? I play Hay Day on my phone and I grow some of my own lavender, does that count?
That place just looks really peaceful, plus when you add in the calming effects of lavender, it's probably almost like heaven!
I did my own Market Friday post today. I'll drop the link her for you. https://peakd.com/hive-167922/@bozz/friday-finance-692023-market-friday-dietsch-brothers
There are many farms on the outskirts of the DC Metro area. The smaller farms do well with this as people will pay the small fee and it saves them from having to harvest and sell their plants. They have 9 big lavender farms here in Virginia and countless smaller ones.
The U-pick fruit places are much the same. They could see to the grocery markets, but, the way they do it is much better. Plus fresh!
I am sure Hay Day doesn't count. LOL
It is truly peaceful and lovely to walk through. I have been thee 6 times already so I have lots of lavender. I have to say that it is only 15 cents a stem to buy, so you could get an armload all in one trip and make your sachets.
Oh, yay!!! A #MarketFriday post! Thanks so much for dropping the link!
#MarketFriday loves you!
Oh wow, that is relatively cheap! I can see how places like this might do really well outside the bigger cities. We don't have many of those near where I live. Big Cities that is. Detroit is probably the closest. The other ones are just small enough that they still have a kind of rural feel to them.
You have been to Washington, DC. I don't think it is a major *feeling) the city for all that it has there. Perhaps it is the lack of skyscrapers due to the restrictions on height.
The height of buildings in Washington is limited by the Height of Buildings Act.
I was a little kid so I really don't remember. That makes sense about the buildings being lower.
Haha! I am pretty sure neither one of us was born. :) But, I read about it and remember them pointing that out here when I first moved here. They didn't want all the buildings to overshadow the important ones.
That makes a lot of sense. I actually am impressed by the forethought that would have required.
