This is a photo Sally took today as we were day-tripping on her (XX-th)birthday. It is a little-known lavender farm off Harry Cash Road that is only open about a month during the year, from mid-June to mid-July. There is no admission and you can pick your own fresh lavender ($3 for 100 stems), take gorgeous pictures of the mountain and valley (the view is awesome), try their lavender lemonade, or buy any number of lavender products in their tasteful store ___ soaps, candles, baskets, too much to list.
Or you can sit outside as I did and relax with the fields unrolling to the left and the valley to the right enjoying lemonade while Sally did all the above.
After leaving consider turning right on Harry Cash instead of going back the way you came. This will eventually take you into the beautiful Little Shasta area and past the Shoe Fence.
I have no idea who did this or why, perhaps a reader who does will let me know. But it's been here for a long time and just the first of many photo ops along the road. Beautiful country homes, farms, colorful wash hanging in front of an ivy-covered garage, and of course the iconic church at Little Shasta ___ a favorite spot (although the lavender farm is too) for weddings.
The road eventually brings you into Montague where you can turn north and visit the old county airport where radio control enthusiasts and sail plane pilots practice. Or west on Highway 3 to Rohr Field (sightseeing airplane rides, charter, and center for the hot air balloon events Montague sponsors) and Yreka.
We have flyers from the lavender farm if you'd care for one and you can see more on their website, www.shastalavender.com.
