About Lavender Bluff Farm
Lavender Bluff Farm occupies an old homestead on Highway 35 in Stockholm. Jacob Peterson built the farmhouse in 1863 as a copy of his family's home in Sweden, and the barn followed in 1918. In 1967 the Petersons sold 50 of their 90 acres to the state as park land, and from 1980 Leland and Joyce Krebs ran the place as the Great River Bed and Breakfast. Randy and Kim Kirmeier bought it in 2019, spent a couple of years restoring the barn and buildings, and planted lavender and hemp.
The farm is open Friday through Sunday, 10 AM to 4 PM. U-pick runs while the lavender blooms: the earliest plants usually open in late June and the peak comes around the second weekend of July. A $15 farm pass covers parking, entry, a bouquet you cut yourself and a glass of lavender lemonade, and it must be bought in advance for u-pick; the farm store needs no pass. From July into October the owners lead farm tours on Saturdays at 1 PM and Sundays at 11 AM, covering the many varieties they grow.
Other events include yoga in the fields on select Saturday mornings from June to September, crystal meditation on select Fridays, and Friday-morning high tea from July to October with scones and a chance to pick lavender or wildflowers. Photographers book golden-hour sessions on Thursday evenings. You may bring a picnic, and the farm lists Stockholm and Pepin restaurants that pack picnic baskets. The store sells the farm's bath, body, home and kitchen goods and gift sets, and the barn hosts weddings and private events on Mondays and Thursdays.
Stockholm Pie & General Store, a few minutes away in the village, takes picnic orders you can bring to the farm.
