Hereward Farms, the lavender farm in East Garafraxa, Ontario (located just an hour from the Greater Toronto Area) is hosting a special holiday shopping experience at their Lavender Lounge + Boutique. The Sip + Shop will feature Hereward Farms' unique farm-to-beauty products and other local vendors. Charcuterie and cocktails will supplement the event, as well.
The special holiday shopping experience will commence on December 10th from 2 PM to 8 PM. The entrance fee is $5 CAD and this also covers the Snacks + Sips during the event. Additionally, each visitor will receive a $5 gift card towards the Hereward Farms Lavender Lounge + Boutique. There will be special swag bags for the first 25 people and a Grand Prize draw with items from each vendor.
Hereward Farms is also making a donation to Believe Bags, a local charity.
