Purple Scent Lavender Farm — Attraction in Erlands Point-Kitsap Lake

Please readers be aware although they have no signs up to indicate this you cannot bring your own picnic and eat at the lavender farm (really a beautiful backyard). My daughter is WFPB so we packed our own lunches with the plan of eating here and buying their lemonade (which was yummy) and ice cream (we skipped this due to the way they acted). I said right up front before we paid for admission that we had packed a picnic and were excited to pick and then eat in the field. I said the same thing to the female owner when she escorted us into the yard to show us where and how to cut. Nothing was said about this being a problem at that time. Instead after we paid our admission and cut our lavender the gentleman owner came over and asked if we were done. Then offered us samples of lemonade and showed us their box lunches… when I said we would like 3 lemonades but had brought our own picnic for dietary reasons I was informed suddenly and abruptly that this wasn’t allowed. He made my girls feel so embarrassed that we left right away. It is their right to say no outside food or drink. However they should post it…. since they knew all along that was our plan I felt mislead and my kids were disappointed that the picnic we had planned for 3 weeks...

Excited to go to a lavender farm for the first time and was having a great morning Until I entered the door to the lavender farm store. I was taken by the way it was decorated, I then walked to the door that went to the lavender and I stepped outside .I then was rudely approached from a women who said "It cost 8.00 to go out to the lavender during bloom season and she then pushed us back into the store and closed the door in our faces. This threw me for a loop in disbelief.. I then just stood there and watched her take care of two other customers And giving my fiance dirty looks. We were never greeted nor was told, she would be with us shortly.. We decided since she was so rude and ruined my one time experience of a lavender farm, we left.. I would rather drive to sequim 35 miles away and pay twice as much to enjoy a better experience and service.. Dont waste your time and energy going here.. Unless you want to be...

Walked into the gift shop and saw two other customers gathering lavender. As we made our way to where we assumed the lavender field was through the back entrance an employee/owner stopped us and shut the door in our face and said 'sorry it cost money to go out in the back during blooming season'.

No hello, no greeting, nothing. As we stood there shocked at the lack of civility she proceeded to help the other customers and being friendly since they were making a purchase. She gave us dirty looks and we decided to leave the premise.

We were going to pick lavender and see the garden but were not given the opportunity to make any inquiries before the rude encounter. We were more than capable at paying the nominal fee to wander and pick. Not sure after our encounter and reading another poor review how they stay in business.

Judging people negatively as they enter your establishment for whatever reason is a poor way to...
