You Pick Flowers | Under the Stars Farm

Our you pick experience invites you to slow down and gather your own lavender and seasonal flowers straight from the field. Stroll the rows at your own pace, breathe in the fresh scent, and choose the blooms that speak to you. There is no rush here, only open space, color, and the simple joy of harvesting something with your own hands.

When your bundle is ready, you can carry it home as a fresh keepsake or a heartfelt gift. The experience suits everyone, from curious children to seasoned flower lovers, and it makes a wonderful outing for families and friends. Because every visit is reservation based, the fields stay peaceful and you always have room to roam.

Picking your own flowers is as much about the setting as the blooms. At Under the Stars Farm, you will find 12.5 acres of open fields where the lavender sways and the seasons paint the rows in changing color. Take your time wandering, snap a few photos, and enjoy the kind of quiet that is hard to find anywhere else.

Many guests pair their pick with a stop at our on farm shop, where lavender soaps, syrups, and linen sprays make easy gifts. Others linger to enjoy the views or plan a return visit for a workshop or dinner. However you choose to spend the day, we want you to leave refreshed and ready to come back.

Few outings bring people together quite like a day of picking flowers. Children love the freedom of the fields, parents love the calm, and grandparents love sharing it all. The you pick experience naturally invites conversation, laughter, and the kind of unplugged time families crave.

It is also a favorite for friends planning a relaxed weekend, couples looking for something different, and anyone celebrating a special occasion. Because the farm sits just sixty minutes from Richmond and near Williamsburg and Newport News, it is an easy destination for groups across the region.

The joy of you pick does not end when you leave the rows. Fresh lavender and seasonal flowers brighten any room, and many guests dry their bundles to enjoy the fragrance for weeks. Pair your blooms with handmade goods from our on farm shop, where lavender soaps, syrups, and linen sprays carry the scent of the farm into your everyday life.

These simple touches make thoughtful gifts and lasting keepsakes from your visit. Our team is glad to share easy tips for keeping your flowers fresh and making the most of your harvest. When you are ready for more, the farm offers tours, dinners, and workshops to round out your day.
