Intoxicate the senses with seas of lavender and the smell of freshly baked pastries billowing in the breeze at Red Hill Farm. As well as the lavender infused apothecary selling estate made household and... self-care products, there are some seriously delicious culinary goodies to be found, all entirely made with local garden and organic ingredients. At Johnny Ripe Bakery, perched at the top of the lavender fields, you’ll find artisan bread, pies, pastry items and cakes to enjoy in the garden or to take home with you.
