Linden Blooms Farm is a small specialty cut flower farm in Linden, Virginia at 83 Bifrost Way, started in 2020 during COVID by life partners Christine Whitaker and Cameron Moyers on a 9-acre mountainside property with sweeping Shenandoah Valley views that Whitaker first dreamed of owning in 2006 and finally purchased in 2019. So it's about 4-5 years old now and focused on wholesale florals and custom orders rather than public u-pick experiences. This pesticide-free Virginia flower farm grows sunflowers, over 25 varieties of dahlias, David Austin roses (including Olivia Rose Austin), tulips, ranunculus, lisianthus, peonies, blue irises, and Chinese forget-me-nots across approximately 4 acres using sustainable soil amendment practices and natural pest management. The owners are self-taught farmers committed to quality over quantity as members of the Association of Specialty Cut Flower Growers (ASCFG) Local Flowers directory. Fair warning: this isn't your typical agritourism spot. Linden Blooms operates by appointment only without walk-in u-pick flower field experiences, lavender festivals, or public farm tours. They specialize in wholesale flowers for local florists ($100 minimum for farm pickup through their password-protected wholesale program), custom bespoke bouquets, bloom subscription services, wedding florals, and event arrangements. First-time buyers get a 10% newsletter discount. NV Daily featured their inspiring story of turning COVID adversity into agricultural opportunity. The farm keeps strong community ties through partnerships with The Giving Tree (a respected Shenandoah Valley family business) and multiple regional florists. Pricing for bouquets, subscriptions, and wedding services isn't public, so you'll need to reach out at 540-573-2882 or Flowers@lindenbloomsfarm.com. They've got 1,672 Instagram followers and 548 Facebook likes, describing themselves as sustainable and community-centered with the mission to create beautiful moments with nature that last an eternity and the tagline From Dream to Bloom. Haven't found customer reviews on Google, Yelp, or TripAdvisor yet, which tracks since they're wholesale-focused. Their quality-first approach means they won't sell inferior blooms (even rejecting bug-damaged roses), maintain strong seasonal rotations with a helpful What's in Bloom monthly availability guide online, and prioritize professional wholesale relationships over mass tourism. Best for customers wanting locally-grown sustainable cut flowers for weddings and events, bulk wholesale orders, or appointment-based custom bouquets rather than family-friendly pick-your-own experiences.
Bee's Wing Farm is a woman-owned, Certified Naturally Grown specialty cut flower farm and floral design studio that Chelsea Belle Graves (Virginia Tech horticulture grad with 15+ years farming experience) started back in 2014, relocating from Bluemont to a 28-acre property at 70 Carters Line Road, White Post, VA 22663 in December 2022. They grow over 40 flower varieties including sunflowers, dahlias, peonies, ranunculus, zinnias, and roses across 4 acres using pesticide-free practices with five unheated tunnels and one heated propagation house for season extension. The reviews are kind of ridiculous in the best way. Perfect 5.0 stars across all platforms including WeddingWire (21 reviews) and Birdeye (36 reviews), with customers praising the exceptional flower quality, budget-conscious custom wedding florals, and Chelsea's personalized service that includes farm tours so brides can actually see where their wedding flowers are growing. Quick heads up though: this isn't a u-pick flower experience. Bee's Wing specializes in custom wedding and event florals, seasonal Flower CSA subscriptions with weekly deliveries to Falls Church and White Post locations, farmers market bouquets, and occasional Open Farm Day tours ($15 admission with guided greenhouse tours and bouquet-making demonstrations). Pricing is transparent, which I appreciate. Bridal bouquets start at $225, bridesmaid bouquets at $115, large arbor florals at $500, and elopement packages for farm pickup run $225 for a bouquet and boutonniere set. Pre-made seasonal arrangements like Thanksgiving bouquets start at $60 and centerpieces at $95. Full wedding consultations allow for flexible packages designed around various budgets. What's cool about their seed-to-vase approach is that Chelsea grows flowers specifically for each wedding based on seasonal availability, creating these wild, elegant, lush, textural garden-inspired designs. Multiple brides report flowers lasting weeks after events. The reviews call arrangements jaw-droppingly stunning and praise Chelsea's ability to bring Pinterest visions to life (while also saving couples money through her extensive local vendor knowledge). Last time I visited, the dahlias smelled like honey and the whole greenhouse had this earthy warmth that just felt right.

Seven Oaks Lavender Farm sits at 8769 Old Dumfries Road, Catlett, VA 20119 on a gorgeous 16-acre historic property with an 1860 farmhouse, and honestly, when the breeze catches those lavender rows just right, the smell alone is worth the drive. This 23-year-old family-owned Virginia lavender farm started in 2002 when mother-daughter team Edith Jane Campbell Williamson and Deborah Williamson came back from a French countryside trip, spotted something in Oprah magazine, and thought "why not us?" The Rinker family (seven kids running around) recently took over and they've kept everything humming along beautifully. You'll find about 2 acres packed with over 1,000 lavender plants in English and French varieties, plus zinnias, sunflowers, daisies, and edible herbs. It's only 55 minutes from Washington DC. Perfect Northern Virginia day trip territory, right?

The $35 Purple Pass season ticket gives two people unlimited visits throughout the May 30 through July 13, 2025 season, which feels like a steal to me. Lavender lemonade goes for $3-6, the lavender-lemon cupcakes are $3.95, and glamping starts at $125/night if you want to make a weekend of it.

Open daily 10am-5pm during the 6-week lavender season with weekend hours in May and extended events through fall. You can pick your own lavender using farm-provided sanitized scissors with cutting instruction, browse the gift shop's 50+ farm-made products like soaps, organic teas, candles, honey, wreaths, and linen sprays, join Saturday wreath-making workshops, try Sunday morning yoga in the lavender fields (continues through August), attend tea parties with cucumber sandwiches and lavender pound cake, catch wine and music events with neighboring Roger's Ford Winery, do watercolor sessions, or hit the September sunflower tea parties. Kids stay busy with a shaded sandbox, mini playhouse, bench swing, rocking horses, basketball hoop, cornhole, and picnic tables under shade trees. There's also Grandma's porch with rocking chairs and a white gazebo that's basically Instagram bait. Leashed dogs welcome Monday mornings.
