About
Located in East Marion NY, Lavender by the Bay has been growing the highest quality lavender on Long Island for more than 15 years. We offer seasonal fresh cut bunches, dried lavender, lavender plants, lavender sachets and crafts, and honey from our own beehives. During our blooms there is an entry fee into the fields. This fee goes towards the upkeep and preservation of the beauty, form, and peaceful nature of our farm. We’ve released a limited amount of field tickets for both our Calverton ($10) and East Marion ($12) locations. Tickets can be purchased on our site. The lavender is typically in bloom mid/late June through mid-July, but is ultimately up to Mother Nature.

So lovely! 💜 Easy to find parking and the crowd light for our ticketed 12:30pm Friday afternoon time slot. Beautiful grounds to stroll along marked paths and immerse yourself in the luscious scents of lavender all around you. Sweet little shop to buy something for yourself, a thoughtful gift or seasonal guest house gift-giving.

They fields were relaxing and you could sit in these cute chairs in the middle of them and just watch the bees and soak up the smell. There are a ton of homemade products they sell, including soaps, dried lavender, fresh honey, and lavender plants. The employees are all very kind and give great information on lavender care. There are only porta pottys for restrooms, so if you don’t like those you can stop by one of the shops or restaurants nearby. You can’t pick the lavender as it would hurt the ecosystem, especially the bees, but you can buy lavender that was picked fresh at a reasonable price.

I was watching a show called Dave on Hulu and they had a guest appearance from Rick Rubin!! I am a big fan of white dudes who hang out with rappers!! I heard Rick Rubin is very zen and he spends all his time in nature!! I enjoy nature and cities!! I came here to enjoy the lavender!! I enjoyed the lavender!! You have to buy your tickets and they scan them on your phone and then you walk through and they have seats and chickens!!

The smell is nice and the lavender was in full bloom. I have to be honest, $12 a person which way too overpriced! it is true that that is nothing else to do except taking the photo. By the way, there is no food or eating is allowed in the field. I think the admission fees should be around $5 a person to be fair, and the products' prices are not cheap. I was attracted by the online pictures posted by other people. I have to be honest, some of the pictures look so beautiful, and the light purple shown on the pictures are not real, I believe that those pictures are already being edited by some kind of special effect that is why it looks different from the reality. I went to the field in one of July's afternoons and the weather is way too hot in order to enjoy a walk, so we stayed about 20 minutes and left. so I will suggest that in the summer, people should visit early in the morning or in the evening in order to avoid hot weather.

Ridiculously overpriced, with nothing to do other than take pictures.
Went all the way there from the City, and all the admission fee allows you is to set foot on the fields.
No additional decor, no food anywhere, no tours, no animals, nada. Just walk the fields.
Plus to get in there, there's only ONE narrow lane for BOTH lanes of traffic, coming in and out. They put their Gift Shop smack in the middle of the entrance so you're forced to go through it first before you park, so parking was very hazardous. I almost ran over a man!!!
Gift shop was ridiculously overpriced. $20.00 for a small bar of soap. $25.00 for hand soap. Give me a break.
Well at least I saw it. There is no way in high hell I would go there again. Hate to be so negative but what a ridiculous way to spend your hard earned money for practically nothing other than taking pictures. TOURIST TRAP for sure!

Not a planned trip and just came by it. The items there to buy were great. I can't wait to back when in full bloom.

Wow! We had no idea this place existed until we did some research before our first visit to North Fork!
It was a hot day, but the fields were gorgeous. They do a real nice job of having walking pathways, creative seating, and some shaded areas. They also sell some of their plans and lavender items.
Would highly recommend - bring your camera!!

A beautiful little shop with all-things lavender and rosemary. Beautiful views and beautiful scents. Worth a stop while biking through.

Hi, I would like to know when is the lavender's season?
And how much is the ticket for adult and student?
Thank you.
Dear Jocelyn,
Thank you for your interest in our farm. Our English lavender usually blooms mid to late June followed by our French lavender in early to mid July. Before coming out please check our Facebook page or our website for bloom updates.
During the bloom there is an $8 per person (adults and children over 12) admission to the field which becomes a credit to use in the shop.
Sincerely,
Lavender by the Bay
