Lavender Farm in Mockūnai: family-tended lavender fields and a perennial garden in Biržai District

The Lavender Farm in Mockūnai is a seasonal visitor attraction tended by three generations of one family in Biržai District. What began as an 800 sq m plot now has more than 1.5 hectares of lavender, accompanied by a growing garden of perennial, medicinal, culinary, and ornamental plants. Visitors can walk among the cultivated beds, call at the shop and seasonal café, or reserve a group programme explaining the path from seed to product. This is a working private farm, so always check the current bloom, hours, admission, and available activities on its official website.

UAB Levandų ūkis, Mockūnai Lavender Farm

From an 800 sq m plot to more than 1.5 hectares

The farm's story began with a single lavender plant tended by the family and its first 800 sq m field. The official history now records more than 15,000 sq m, or 1.5 hectares, planted with lavender. Three generations work on the farm, making it considerably more than a seasonal photo set.

A garden of perennial, medicinal, culinary, and ornamental plants is developing alongside the purple rows. It gives the site interest even as peak lavender bloom begins to fade. Spring temperatures, rain, and the individual cultivars influence each year's flowering, however, so nobody can promise one exact peak-bloom date in advance.

What visitors can see and taste

A self-guided visit centres on the maintained lavender plots and other plant collections. Take time to notice different planting forms, watch pollinators, and photograph the rows from the paths without stepping into the beds. This remains a working private farm, and visitor areas can change with seasonal tasks.

The site has a shop and a seasonal café. The farm presents its own lavender hydrosol, honey, candles, teas, syrup, and other products, while the café advertises lavender tea, natural lemonade, and homemade lavender ice cream. The precise range and stock depend on the season, so ask ahead if one particular item is central to your trip.

From seed to product: the educational programme

The advance-booked programme “Lavender: From Seed to Product” explains the farm's development, lavender cultivation, and uses of the plant. Participants explore collections of medicinal, culinary, and ornamental plants, compare aromas, and taste drinks and lavender ice cream prepared at the farm.

On 25 July 2026, the official page listed a 1.5-hour duration, groups of 20-50 people, a June-September season, and a price of €15 per person. Booking is required. This is a separate group service rather than ordinary admission, so confirm the programme, current price, and available time directly with the farm.

2026 opening hours and admission

On 25 July 2026, the farm advertised admission from 24 June to 31 August: Monday-Thursday 10 am-6 pm and Friday-Sunday 10 am-9 pm. Adult admission was €5; seniors, disabled visitors, and children aged 7-12 paid €3; children up to six entered free.

For September, the advertised schedule was Saturday-Sunday 10 am-6 pm, with standard admission at €4, concession admission at €3, and free entry for children up to six. Ordinary visits did not require advance registration, but weather, events, and the season can alter both hours and prices. Always check the official site before setting out.

Planning a considerate visit

On 25 July 2026, the exact Google Maps listing in Dvaro Street held a 4.5 rating. The coordinates mark the visitor site within the farm rather than the edge of every lavender plot. Select “UAB Levandų ūkis” or “Mockūnai Lavender Farm” in navigation because similarly named farms operate elsewhere in Lithuania.

Bring water, a sun hat, and sun protection in summer; choose damp-weather footwear after rain. Flowering plants attract bees and other insects, so visitors with severe allergies should carry their personally prescribed medication. Do not pick flowers or cross planted beds, and arrange professional photo sessions with the owners. Allow 1-2 hours for an ordinary visit.
