Fort Hill Farms

Lavender Farm
n/a
Fort Hill Farms has been “active through three generations in over 70 years.  We thrive on sustainability and educating people about local farming.  With over 200 milking cows, our family is very proud that the milk and cream are used in the production of Cabot Cheese and The Farmer’s Cow milk and ice cream.
In the mid 1990’s, Fort Hill Farms Gardens and Ice Creamery was established and opened to the public.  With the beauty of nature and sense of tranquility, visitors can relax and absorb themselves in the peace and tranquility the colorful gardens exude.  View all the breath-taking views.
Kristin Orr combines her two loves:  Lavender and milk from her cows.  Not only is Fort Hill Farms proud to be part of the Cabot Farm Family and The Farmer’s Cow, but Kristin also painstakingly grows organic lavender.
Kristin’s lavender contains no pesticides nor chemicals.  So they are edible!  She diligently and delicately cares for her lavender.  At harvest time, she gathers them in bunches and hangs them to dry.  Walking into her shop fills the visitor with the wonderful, calming fragrance of lavender.
So stop by the Lavender Creamery to purchase some dried lavender and gifts made from dried lavender!”

Key Insights:
  • We did the big maze at dusk with flashlights, under a gorgeous full moon & slight October chill.
  • Kristin is such a wonderful host & MazeMaster who takes so much pride in keeping alive the legacy of Frederick Law Olmsted & his original mission of greenscapes and sustainability.
  • The lessons are throughout the maze in a fun & educational way, but unplugging from our phones and enjoying the simplicity & extraordinary power of nature is the real treat.
  • We can't wait to see what Kristin puts forth next year and will be telling anyone who'll listen that this farm is tops!
  • Krsiten the lady who runs this beautiful place of serenity and peace is so energetic with joy and happiness!
