Celebrate the longest day of the year early at Peaceful Acres Lavender Farm.
The farm grows several strains of organic lavender, an herb that is said to have calming and sleep-inducing properties.
At the festival, you can sample lavender-infused foods, pick your own organic lavender in the fields, make wreaths and wands from the herb, practice meditation and listen to live performances.
For its 11th year, the fest has added craft and personal growth workshops.
10 a.m.-6 p.m. Saturday (June 15); 11 a.m.-4 p.m. Sunday (June 16). Free admission. Peaceful Acres Lavender Farm, 2387 Martinsville Road, Martinsville, peacefulacreslavenderfarm.com.
