Have you ever thought about owning a lavender and flower farm? Here’s an opportunity to own an established agritourism business and make it your own!
Evergreen Lavender Farm is well-known in the community and surrounding areas of Evergreen, VA, in Appomattox County. It is a half mile from Hwy 460, and a few miles from The American Civil War Museum and the Appomattox Courthouse National Historical Park. The farm is a half an hour from Lynchburg and Farmville with several universities. This neglected farm has been turned into a destination. Lavender has been the primary crop and attraction since 2011.
The farm currently operates as a seasonal agritourism business from May through September. In addition to lavender, sunflowers and cutting flowers are grown annually. Extensive gardens filled with varieties of mature trees, shrubs, perennials with walking paths connecting the Event Barn to the open-air Chapel and onto the Lavender Shoppe, which is in a 1927 Norfolk and Western Caboose. The majority of the lavender products had been made on the farm with candles, books, and additional items consigned from local vendors.
Workshops about gardening and crafting were scheduled throughout the season. Weddings and elopements were an excellent source of income for the farm in addition to “An Herbal Faire” in May, “The Evergreen Lavender Festival” in June, and “A Lavender Christmas” in December. There can be so many other opportunities for growth and advancement!
This farm would give an entrepreneur with a passion for farming and gardening an opportunity to create a viable business because the infrastructure is in place. In addition, Evergreen Lavender has a strong social media following and reputation.
