Be sure to check out Cedarbrook cafe at the Cedarbrook lavender and herb farm. Last year we went to visit the place. The cafe wasn't open yet if I remember correctly but the farm was beautiful. Here is my post about it.

There will be small plates, a prix fixe menu and a complimentary small plate for each table. Reservations recommended
