CRESCO, Pa. – Paradise Lavender Farm, a longtime staple of the Poconos, has added a new attraction for families: an enchanted fairy forest. The farm, already known for its rows of fragrant lavender, now offers a whimsical setting where visitors can wander among fairy‑themed decorations, encouraging imagination for both kids and grown‑ups.
What the fairy forest offers
The fairy forest is a modest, walk‑through area dotted with small statues, twinkling lights, and natural elements that blend into the farm’s existing landscape. Parents can let their children explore the space while learning about the lavender plants that surround it. The farm’s owners say the addition reflects a desire to create a safe, creative environment that supports family bonding and outdoor recreation.
Family‑focused activities
Beyond the fairy forest, Paradise Lavender Farm continues to host its regular offerings: lavender picking, guided tours of the fields, and a farm‑store where visitors can purchase lavender‑infused products such as soaps, oils, and honey. Seasonal events, including harvest festivals and craft workshops, remain on the calendar, providing additional opportunities for community gathering.
Community response
Local residents have responded positively to the new feature. “It’s a wonderful way for families to spend a Saturday afternoon,” said one Cresco parent who visited the farm last weekend. “The kids love the fairy forest, and we appreciate having a safe, outdoor activity close to home.”
Tourism officials in Monroe County note that attractions like Paradise Lavender Farm contribute to the region’s appeal for visitors seeking both natural beauty and family‑friendly entertainment. The farm’s expansion aligns with broader efforts to promote the Poconos as a destination for wholesome recreation.
