I have been a customer of Ol'Factory for quite a few years. Sue offers the best handmade soaps, lotions, and a wide array of other items including spices and home decor! You won't ever regret a trip to Ol'Factory, especially when the lavender is in bloom.

We had a fun and enjoyable summer experience. The festival has lots of craft vendors with booths to sell goods. There is live music, several food options, and lavender u-pick. Signage was clear and parking was easy. It’s clear a lot of work was put into this event. A relaxing way to spend the afternoon.

Very nice festival. Took my mom, husband and kids. We enjoyed the live music, the different vendors, and lavender picking. The horse driven carriage was also a lot of fun. Will definitely be back next year.

One of the best festivals. It is small, reminds me of old days country festivals. Staff and vendors are all so nice Cutting your own Lavender is a highlight and every year the olfactory store expands its offerings. Oh and didcI mention..they always have the best live music . This has been an annual event for my daughter and I the last 3 years. Looking forward o next year already

A nice little festival that has plenty of art, crafts, smells, and lavender! Plus a small history museum of the Ol'factory farm and surrounding farms.

This place was an amazing time, great music outside the wine barn, delicious food, great drinks!, Lemonade squeezed on the spot. Horse drawn carriage rides and lavender picking with my daughter and nephew was the highlight of our weekend! Would absolutely recommend this festival to everyone and anyone, staff was amazing and helpful when asked for assistance, and while teaching my daughter to pick lavender, wine caterers knew their product and was able to help pick out the perfect bottle! Can't wait for next year's festival

Incredibly fun family outing. Lots to see and the horse ride was fun. We loved picking our own bundles and then enjoying some tasty snacks. Thank you so much for a fun weekend outing.

Had an amazing time at the lavender festival! You can tell just how much thought and hard work went into putting on this event. The live music and venders were all wonderful! The owner is so sweet & the items she makes and sells are amazing! Can't say enough good things about it! We will be going back every year and I definitely recommend going to everyone else, there is something there for everyone!

Had a great time exploring everything lavender whether it was all the products and materials that can be made from it and also being able to pick some on our own. Lots of vendors and a food truck and live music.

Love visiting this farm! She has lots of soaps and essential oils she makes right at her farm. And she also has herbal teas and gifts like clothing and bags/purses, jewelry and even specialty food items like special dip mixes and honey. There is a lavender festival that she hosts in mid summer and that’s always a nice time with vendors and food and lavender themed treats. Check her website for more information. It’s a gem and I love visiting to stock up on soaps and lotions or if I need a gift. Wonderful farm and the owner is a delight.

Wonderful......We were out for a ride this morning and noticed the sign on RT 104 for the Lavender Festival. We thought that would be fun so we turned around and went back. We parked our car and walked to the entrance. When we got there a sign stated that entry tickets were to be purchased on line prior to coming. It when on to say that if you had not purchased tickets "then step out of line and purchase tickets prior to approaching entry table". Maybe not a direct quote but close. WOW.....sorry but I think those instructions are a little strongly stated. A simple "please we would ask you to step out of line to purchase tickets" would at least be a nicer touch. I am not someone who has a fancy telephone with which to do that kind of stuff (I am seventy years old and just cannot deal with those phones) so I was going to pay with cash. Sorry....no cash sales! Really....no cash sales are allowed! My only other choice was to leave which I did. I have to wonder if there was a handling charge added if purchased on line. Maybe not and I hope not. How have we allowed our lives to come to this? We can no longer purchase a product/service with United States money! So sad.

Very disappointing NY Lavender Festival this year. Just a few vendors. One food truck. Not much lavender to cut. In and out in 30 minutes. Waste of time and money this year.

THIS IS AN AMAZING PLACE!!! AMAZING WOMAN OWNED SMALL BUSINESS!!!!The store has such a variety of items, most of them are made by her *soap, lotion, body butters, lavender bundles, lavender simple syrup, makeup, tea, bath products, essential oils, room & body sprays, insence, flax seed and lavender microwave bags, CBD muscle rub, eucalyptus chest rub and SOO MUCH MORE! The cutest little pet section all homemade, pet booboo salve, calming oil, organic catnip bags, herbal dog soap, herbal dog spray. Top quality, unbeatable prices, 100% worth the trip to check it out. The property has so much history she loves chat about- including the 1891 wine barn that is open, offering wine tastings (with delicious pairings) for a variety of different wines!!! Also makes her own lavender collection wine infused with lavender harvested from her farm. She LOVES her customers and enjoys getting to know each and every one of them. Incredibly sweet!!! Would give 1 million stars if possible!

Great handmade jewelry, fresh herbs. Plentiful lavander. Take cash! No ATM and many venders only accept cash/venmo. Had to run down to gas station to use ATM. Otherwise we will be back next year!

They have a wonderful festival in the Summer. I went to their wine tasting and sale. They are making their own wine now. I got some nice soap and a lavender syrup. Cute gift shop with all kinds of items from soaps to jewelry and clothing.

Maybe it's better during the festival but this place was kind of lame. It's basically someone's lavender garden and they have a shop... If you can find it. Nothing is marked very well. We pulled in and there where some ladies coming out of the house (we assumed it was the shop) there was a guy cutting grass and no one to help direct you to anything. So it took about 2 mins and we left.

Great event! Beautiful location, easy parking, enjoyable live music in the food area, lots of good quality vendors, a variety of classes, and more lavender this year. Plus horses and goats!

The long drive up here to pick lavender wasn’t really worth it. By the time we went the lavender fields were picked over, extremely long lines for food and drinks and the shops open could’ve been more of a variety. We spent barely any time here.

When checking out at the shop with another guest behind me in line ....a very non friendly male stuck his head in doorway and rudely asked if she was done yet......which tainted our experience.......and questionable if we will return....by the way the lady clerk wS a gem...great worker helpful too....
