Welcome

Thanks for visiting! Olfactory Farm is located in Upstate NY just outside of a small rural town called Red Creek.

So many people ask "Where is Red Creek?"

We are just South East of the beautiful Lake Ontario. North West of Syracuse (approx. 45 miles) and East of Rochester NY. (approx. 60 miles)

About Me

Sue Chmieleski: 12973 Upton Road, Red Creek, New York; My husband Scott and I moved to our farm in 1996. Shortly after, I started a homebased soapmaking business; Olfactory Soaps & Scents. I needed to figure out a way to incorporate my love of gardening into my business. So I decided to grow my own lavender and a few other herbs to use in my products. The first test garden was just to see if lavender would even grow in Upstate NY. Our winters can be brutal. When spring came and the lavender was growing nicely I knew we needed to plant more. So here it is, nine years later, and a couple of acres of lavender have now been planted. We open our farm to the public each year during our annual Lavender Festival so others can learn to appreciate and love this wonderful herb as much as we do.

Picking Lavender

4th Annual NY Lavender Festival

The 4th Annual Lavender Festival hosted by Olfactory Farm is scheduled for July 9 th & 10th.

The festival will begin at 9:30 each day and end at 4:30.

Enjoy a relaxing day on the farm, pick fresh lavender bundles from our field, visit with over 40 unique craft artisans, stop in at the Olfactory Soap Shoppe, but get there early as the shoppe is small and fills up quickly with visitors!

You can also listen to informational speakers and our musical entertainment throughout the day. Sample some homemade lavender ice cream made here on the farm, along with lavender herbal tea and baked goods. We have a small childrens area, a family farm museum, hay rides, great food and so much more. Just $3.00 for adults and 12 yrs & under are FREE. Sorry, we love animals but no pets are allowed.
