My Aunt and I started attending Eagle's Ranch Antique Show and moved to Lavender Ridge, as it transitioned. Our history with both has been one of fun, politeness, and great deals. The dealers have been responsive and willing to deal, and the bonus of hearing Josh Groban wafting over the lavender fields sets such an inviting tone. We are ready for the next show. Thanks for all the efforts!

I thought everything was overpriced and I was also dishearted with the rudeness of everyone associated with this place. The lavender I bought was not fragrant & the oil had no bouquet. I would not recommend this place to anyone.
