1. Kin Loch Farmstead
Type: U-pick Lavender Farm
4299 Ridge Road, Cambria / Website / Facebook
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.
2. The Flower Stand
Type: U-pick Flower Farm
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.
While bloom times are highly dependent on the climate- sun, rain, and weather – at the peak, The Farm Stand can offer over 100 varieties of annual & perennial flowers.
3. Henry’s Gardens U-pick
Type: Self-serve Cutting Garden
7950 Sisson Highway, Eden / Website / Facebook
Did you know this well-known Eden Greenhouse has a cutting garden?
Open daily through the fall, Henry’s offers an option to cut your own flowers at their field just down the road from their shop. The field features vibrant annual flowers like zinnias, statice and mixed fillers to create your own bouquets. Water, buckets, and clippers are available. Friendly reminder to bring change!
4. Sunflowers of Sanborn
3111 Saunders Settlement Road, Sanborn, NY 14132 / Website / Facebook
