A lavender farm and gathering place where the rows run to the ridgeline — long-table dinners, live-fire nights, and slow afternoons among the blooms.

Planting the rows · three generationsWelcome to the hill
A family farm that loves
a full table.
For three generations, the Russell family has worked this ridge in central Pennsylvania — 300+ rows of lavender, a registered herd of Texas Longhorns, and a barbecue pit that's been going for years.
These days, the best part is sharing it. All summer long we open the gate for dinners, festivals, tours, and celebrations — come see why the hilltop is worth the drive.

Three things we believe in
Grown, not bought
Everything begins in our soil — 300+ rows of lavender, hand-tended and harvested.
Cooked over fire
Pasture-raised beef and live-fire barbecue, the way the Russells have always done it.
Family, always
Three generations on one hilltop, and a standing invitation to gather with us.
Private Gatherings
Your celebration,
in the lavender.
Weddings under the willow, shifts of golden light across the rows, dinners that run past dark. We host a handful of private gatherings each season — intimate, unhurried, and entirely yours.
Under the willow
"Some places you visit. This one, you settle into."— A standing invitation from the Russell family
Take a little home
From our rows
to your door.
Soaps, soaks, candles, honey, and Daddy Dave's famous dry rub — handcrafted on the farm and shipped nationwide. A piece of the hilltop to keep.
