In May, the farm showcases autumnal colors with changing leaves and blooming dahlias. While lavender isn't in bloom, visitors can enjoy the serene environment, interact with farm animals, and explore the gardens. The tearoom offers lavender-infused treats, and entry fees are reduced during this period.
