HorseBite Farms

HorseBite Farms: Where the fragrance of freshly cut lavender mingles with the warmth of newly laid eggs. Our Flemish giant rabbits hop about, and we might even invite you to join our bunny yoga sessions for a delightful dose of furry relaxation. Picture yourself sipping tea amidst the lavender blooms or enjoying a soothing cup of coffee alongside the friendly cows. As the seasons change, we celebrate pumpkins in the fall, and our soundtrack? Pure country music.

But there’s more to our farm. The PayCheck family has a long history of agriculture and country music. Nestled among the lavender fields, you’ll find a corner that resonates with the spirit of country singer and songwriter John PayCheck. Here, he strums his guitar, penning lyrics that echo the rustling leaves and the gentle hum of bees. The lavender sways to the rhythm of his melodies, as if it knows it’s part of something greater—a harmonious blend of nature and artistry.

When you visit HorseBite Farms, know that you’re not just buying lavender; you’re taking home a piece of our musical heritage. Whether you’re a seasoned country dweller or a curious city soul, our farm welcomes you. Breathe in the lavender-scented air, tap your toes to John’s tunes, and let the magic of HorseBite Farms envelop you.

And don’t forget to explore The Mercantile in Hamilton, VA—an oasis where our lavender finds a place on their shelves, waiting to be discovered by you and other lavender lovers.

What to do at HorseBite Farm?

Lavender

HorseBite Lavender is some of the best in Northern Virginia. We grow Phenomenal (Lavandula x intermedia Phenomenal) and Sensational (Lavandula x intermedia 'Sensational) lavender types on the farm, both are known for their ability to grow successfully in the Virginia climate. Phenomenal lavender is extremely tolerant of the high heat and the cold winters here in Virginia. Sensational lavender is a French hybrid that is also very tolerant.

Our lavender can be used for culinary, floral arrangements, drying, and aroma therapy.
