Lavender port, Levandų uostas in Buikų village
A small family farm in Buikų village
Levandų uostas is at 14 Centrinė Street in Buikų village. It is a place created by the Arlauskas family, bringing lavender fields, a cosy cottage and a small cultural experience for visitors together on one farm.
The rows sit in a rural landscape, while the cottage with handmade purple accents makes clear that the venue grew from a family idea. The coordinates mark the farm surroundings, so confirm the gate and access to the fields with the hosts before travelling.
From the first plant to lavender and cornflower fields
The first lavender bush was planted here in 2013. In the following years the farm grew to about 3,000 lavender bushes, with cornflowers growing among the violet rows. Read the place as a living, seasonal farm rather than as a fixed decorative backdrop.
During bloom, scent, the rhythm of the rows and the colour combination become the main experience. The same field may look different the next day because of weather, the stage of flowering or farm work. Plan around a confirmed visiting date rather than a general summer calendar.
A cottage with a museum, shop and family story
A farm visit can include a grandmother's garden, a family museum and a shop. Together they form one farm experience: the cottage setting, family objects, lavender crafts and the chance to understand how the place is made day by day.
Lavender-lemonade tasting follows the programme for the particular date and is not a daily service. Ask before travelling what will be open and whether a tasting is included in your arrangement.
Lavender as a setting for cultural encounters
At Levandų uostas, visitors can see a Peace Globe sound-and-video installation and attend events bringing different cultures and people together. These activities add a community and family-museum layer to the fields and everyday farm setting.
Event and installation access depends on the date. If you are travelling for a specific activity, ask whether it will run at your chosen time, how long it lasts and whether registration is required.
How to arrange a visit
Levandų uostas is a private, seasonal family venue, so arrange a visit in advance. You can contact the hosts at +370 687 16508 or paulavosrespublika@gmail.com, but confirm the contact details and admission arrangements before travelling.
Follow the hosts' instructions, keep out of planted beds and do not enter private farm areas. Comfortable shoes help outdoors, and paths may be soft after rain. Allow 1-2 hours if you want to see the fields, cottage and the programme available on that date without rushing.
