We hope to complete the final fields over the weekend. You can purchase our beautiful Lavender products online here - https://www.castlefarmkent.co.uk/pages/shop

Our remaining Lavender Field Walk events are sold out (thank you to everyone who visited the fields for Lavender Picnics or Walks this summer!), however – you can still view one of our wonderful bright purple Lavandin Fields from the Darenth Valley Path which runs through the Farm.

The Castle Farm Kiosk will be open on this footpath daily throughout the summer. You can park in Lullingstone Visitor Centre Car Park. Alternatively – if you want to get out and about walking – have a look at this lovely narrated walk by Discovering Britain. Click to download an audio guide – narrated by William Alexander, and you can learn about the valley as you walk. https://www.discoveringbritain.org/activities/south-east-england/walks/darent-valley-walk.html

The Hop Shop will remain operational as a DRIVE THRU FARM SHOP – open Wednesday – Sunday 10am-5pm. Shop from the safety and comfort of your car – farm foods, cakes, drinks, ice cream, decorations, local seasonal fruits, gifts, cards and lovely Lavender products.
