Lavender Goat Farm

Lavender Goat Farm is a small working lavender farm in Petcheys Bay, in Tasmania's Huon Valley, approximately 60 minutes south of Hobart. Spend an unhurried morning or afternoon experiencing life on the farm. Personally hosted and limited to just six guests, each experience offers the opportunity to walk among the lavender, meet the goats and discover how lavender is grown, harvested and traditionally distilled on a small Tasmanian farm. Guests take part in a traditional lavender distillation, helping to gather and load the lavender into a copper alembic before watching as the essential oil and fragrant hydrosol emerge. When the season allows, lavender is cut fresh from the field. While the still works, guests sit down for morning or afternoon tea featuring homemade seasonal baking and local Huon Valley produce, with time to enjoy the farm and its landscape at an unhurried pace. The lavender is grown and hand-weeded without the use of chemicals. Farm experiences are available by advance booking only, with a maximum of six guests. Private experiences are also available.
