​​NYC｜Long Island｜Lavender By The Bay Calverton​​

If you're ​​not obsessed with farming, bees, or lavender scent​​, visiting this ​​Long Island lavender farm​​ from ​​midday to sunset in July​​ might be... ​​questionable​​ 🙊 ​​🌿 The Downsides​​ 🌿 ​​🚗 Exhausting Drive​​: ~1.5-2 hours from most NYC areas. (Fine if road-tripping, but not worth a special trip.) ​​🎁 Meh Souvenirs​​: 95% of merch is sold at ​​Union Square’s farmer’s market​​ or online. ​​🐝 Bees on Overtime​​: They’re ​​friendly but BUSY​​. You’ll see ​​bumblebees (fluffy like the 🐝 emoji!)​​ and learn about worker bees/queens. ​​They won’t sting unless provoked​​, but ​​insect-phobes beware​​—stick to the paths! ​​🪲 Nightmare Beetles​​: ​​Not fireflies​​—these ​​cling to skin​​ and ​​hurt when removed​​. ​​🌌 No Fireflies​​: We missed them by going ​​daytime​​. Tip: Visit ​​at dusk after rain​​ for ​​golden hour + fireflies​​. ​​☀️ Brutal Heat​​: Even at ​​5:30 PM​​, the sun was ​​blinding​​. ​​Not ideal for photos​​. ​​📷 Camera Skills Required​​: ​​Phones struggle​​. A ​​zoom lens helps​​ (no bee-disturbing needed). Some bloggers bring ​​bubbles/ring lights/bouquets​​ for shots. ​​💜 The Upsides​​ 💜 ​​🌸 Lavender Overload​​: The ​​scent hits you instantly​​—like ​​walking into mild lavender ice cream​​. 🫧 ​​🛍️ Great Products​​: ​​Live lavender plants​​, ​​pre-cut bundles (UK vs. French varieties)​​, and ​​iced drinks​​ for sale. ​​🌿 Massive Fields​​: ​​Blooms are lush​​ (but monochromatic). Has ​​photo props, benches​​, and ​​serene seating spots​​ (if cooler). ​​✨ Clean Restrooms​​: Rare for farms! ​​☺️ Friendly Staff​​: Learn about ​​bees + farming​​ in a ​​chill, educational vibe​​. ​​🦆 Nearby Charm​​: A ​​quaint American town + a cute duck​​ awaits. #NYC #SummerVibes #LavenderFarm #LongIsland #WeekendGetaway
