FARM POLICY
Welcome to Sunset Ridge Lavender Farm! First and foremost, Sunset Ridge is our home. There is no fee to enter during our open hours. Entering our farm outside of business hours is considered trespassing and not allowed. We kindly ask that you respect the property and show kindness and consideration towards others during your visit. Children must be supervised at all times and not allowed to wander. We are a pet-friendly location but require all animals to be on a leash and you are responsible to clean up after them. No pets are allowed in the fields without prior authorization from management. Picking lavender is prohibited unless you first pay in the barn and receive our scissors and instructions.
Smoking is not allowed.
We reserve the right to ask you to leave if you are not following farm policies.
PHOTOGRAPHY
Our goal at Sunset Ridge Lavender Farm is to provide a relaxing and enjoyable experience, whether it is rocking on our porch, sitting in the shade, or picking a beautiful bundle of lavender while enjoying the serenity of our property. We are pleased that so many people love taking photographs of our farm, especially if it’s part of their total farm experience. If you are coming strictly to do photography, we ask that you are kind and considerate to our guests. After hours photography is limited due to the many demands on our time outside of our regular business hours and we hope you understand.
PHOTOGRAPHY DURING BUSINESS HOURS
We welcome and encourage our visitors to take photos with their hand-held cameras or phones during our regular hours for their personal use. We love seeing your beautiful photos and kindly ask if you would tag us on social media.
The fee for a professional or amateur posed photo shoot, whether you’re being paid or not, is $40.00 for one hour during our business hours (we cannot guarantee other visitors will not be in your way, the field is usually less crowded in the afternoon). No scheduling required but please pay in our shop before your session begins. NO MINI SESSIONS and NO DRONES.
AFTER-HOURS PHOTOGRAPHY
After much consideration, we have decided to offer a limited number of after-hours sessions at the farm this season. The selected dates will be decided around late May or early June, once we see how the blooms are progressing, and posted on our Facebook page and our website. Session times will be 6:30 - 7:30 and 7:30 - 8:30 and will only be available on a selected Sunday and Monday. The number of sessions per time slot will be limited, but not exclusive. The fee will be $75 for one hour, NO MINI SESSIONS and NO DRONES. Please note that if you book a session and do not follow our policy, you will be asked to leave and forfeit your payment.
If you do not have a photographer and are looking for after hours photos, please contact Laura Jones of Bloom Photography LLC. Laura has been our personal photographer for years and her ability to capture amazing photos with our beautiful farm as the back drop has continually exceeded everyone’s expectations.
