We’ve got farms focused on corn, tomatoes, apples and all sorts of berries, but did you know that we also have a handful of lavender farms? A more recent trend in New Jersey’s agriculture industry, these scenic farms are a relaxation haven. One of our more popular lavender farms is Pleasant Valley Lavender in Morganville.
According to Pleasant Valley Lavender Farm’s website, they were the very first lavender farm in New Jersey.
