THE FARM FAMILY

Meet the Animals

The smallest members of the farm with the biggest personalities

The Heart of the Farm

Every farm has a soul, and ours has hooves and feathers. Puzzles and Bambi, our Nigerian Dwarf goats, along with Catherine, Hey Hey, and our six Lavender Orpington chicks — they're family. They greet visitors at the gate, photobomb your lavender selfies, and have a way of making even the most reserved adults break into the widest grin. Come meet the crew that makes Lit Lavender feel less like a destination and more like coming home.

The Goat Crew

Our Nigerian Dwarf goats are perpetually curious, endlessly photogenic, and absolutely determined to win your heart

Puzzles

The Curious One

Always investigating something new — whether it's your bag, your shoelaces, or whatever you happen to be holding. Puzzles approaches every visitor like a mystery waiting to be solved and will nuzzle your hand until you give in to chin scratches.

Fun fact: Has figured out how to open the feed bin latch.

Bambi

The Gentle Soul

Soft-eyed and sweet-tempered, Bambi is the one children gravitate to first. Patient enough to stand still for every photo and gentle enough to win over even the most cautious visitor. The perfect first goat encounter for little ones.

Fun fact: Will fall asleep standing up if you scratch behind her ears long enough.

The Coop Squad

Two seasoned hens who rule the roost and six fluffy new arrivals who are stealing everyone's hearts

Catherine

The Queen of the Coop

Catherine carries herself with a quiet dignity that commands respect from every bird on the farm. She was here before the new owners arrived and acts like she runs the place — because, honestly, she does. Visitors love her regal strut through the lavender rows.

Fun fact: Has never been in a hurry for anything in her life.

Hey Hey

The Social Butterfly

Named for the sound she makes when she spots a visitor, Hey Hey is the farm's self-appointed welcome party. She'll follow you across the grounds, investigate your pockets, and pose for more photos than most influencers. Impossible not to love.

Fun fact: Has photobombed more lavender selfies than any other animal on the farm.
Lavender Orpington

The Chick Squad

Six Lavender Orpington Chicks

Our newest arrivals — six fluffy Lavender Orpington chicks who are growing fast and already stealing hearts. With their soft gray-lavender plumage, they're the perfect birds for a lavender farm. Watch them explore their surroundings with wide-eyed wonder.

Fun fact: Lavender Orpington chickens are named for their color — a soft silvery-lavender that perfectly matches the fields.

Come Say Hello

Meeting the animals is one of the best parts of a visit to Lit Lavender — and it's completely free

Free with Admission

Animal visits are always free and included with farm admission. No separate ticket needed — just walk over and say hello.

Fri–Sun During Open Hours

The animals are available during open hours: Fri–Sun, 10 AM – 5 PM, May through September. They love visitors as much as you'll love them.

Be Gentle, Be Patient

Let the animals come to you. Move slowly, speak softly, and you'll be rewarded with nuzzles and photo ops. Supervised feeding available — ask at the Farm Shop.

We came for the lavender and stayed for the goats. Puzzles kept investigating my daughter's backpack and she hasn't stopped talking about it since.
