Exploring the Beautiful Lavender Fields in Milton

If you are looking for something to do outside of Toronto, then this is the place for you. Terre Bleu is an organic lavender farm, with an apiary and horse stables in Milton, Ontario. The fee to enter is $10/adult in bloom season, $5/adult after bloom season and they have free guided tour every hour on the hour. You can always just opt to explore on your own. This farm is used for a lot of professional pictures as the flowers are so vibrant and beautiful.

If you want to see the lavender in full bloom do not wait until the end of the season like I did, visit mid-June to mid-July!

The farm is huge and there are two lavender fields. For one of the fields, you need to walk through a short trail to get there. They also have quite a lot of events that happen here that may interest you; yoga in the fields, equestrian events, concerts, alfresco dining and more! There are areas that are private as the owners actually live here.

There is also a lavender distillery on the grounds. There is also someone there who can tell you about the process in extracting lavender for products. The distillery is located  right beside the apiary. There are hundreds of bees, so don’t get too close to the bees or you will get stung. There are also bees on the lavender plants so watch out for those as well.

On the east side of the field there is a cute little gazebo where you can hang out or just have a photo-op.

On the other side of the apiary you will find a dark trail that leads you to the other field. Make sure to stay on the trail and watch where you step, there are a lot of sticks.

Near the entrance is a gift shop and art gallery. Here is where you can buy all the lavender products. The dried lavender smells great! They are have candles, lavender honey, essential oils, chocolate, macarons, etc! The art here is beautiful to look at but pricey.

​The gift shop is also where you can purchase your lavender ice cream or lavender lemonade. The ice cream is so good! It is $5 for ice cream (2 scoops and a waffle cone). The lemonade is around the same price. Too bad they don’t sell it in tubs.

Terre Bleu is a beautiful escape from the hustle and bustle of the city or the quietness of the suburbs. The are many beautiful places surrounding Toronto, get out and explore!
