Prince Edward County Lavender’s annual Lavender Festival was this weekend. For over a year, I have been trying to plan a trip there, and this Saturday I finally did it.
What I find interesting about PEC Lavender – the owners Rolande and Derek are Yukon natives, who uprooted themselves only a few years ago to follow their lavender dreams in Ontario. As you know, I was in the Yukon earlier this year, and I must admit … it was hard to leave.
Some of the great products you can find at PEC Lavender include body care products, pure essential oils, wands, sachets and plants. During the fest, I picked up lavender goat milk soap and a bouquet of lavender picked from the field. I also sampled lavender chocolate and shortbread. Yummy!
If you’re coming from far out of town, you can always stay at one of their B&Bs. While you’re in Prince Edward County, stop by the farmer’s market and spend a day at Outlet Beach or the Sandbank’s dunes. It’s a provincial park, and will cost almost $20 to get in. But if you bring your beach wear, a volleyball and sunscreen, you’ll have a full day’s worth of fun in a clean and charming environment.
Looks amazing!

Wonderful shots. You do look beautiful in the lavender.
Too kind, as always!! It was a great field and lots of great products 🙂
This sounds like fun. Beautiful photos. I love the flowers. 🙂
Thanks Stephanie 🙂 I have the lavender in my room now and it smells so good 🙂
I LOVE LOVE LOVE lavender, Emily, so this is definitely a place I would want to see. Lavender essential oil is good for helping people calm down…especially Alzheimer’s patients at the sun-downing hour. 🙂
I am planning a trip to another lavender field hopefully in the next few weeks. It honestly was so much fun 🙂
Even the dog looks the part!
Isnt he cute 🙂 He was friendly!
I bet that was a gloroius smelling experience, Emily
It really was, and they had a nice little shop too!
You should visit Provence one day.
