Young Living Lavender Farm, Mona — a quiet, free stop worth knowing about.
A lot of people drive past Mona on I-15 without realizing there's a lavender farm just off the highway — and that the grounds are genuinely free to walk.
The Young Living Lavender Farm sits outside Mona, Utah, and it's one of those places that's hard to describe without just saying: it's tranquil. There's a splash pad for the kids, a small stream tucked behind it, a little park, shade trees, and horses standing in the fences nearby. It's not a big production. It's just a quiet, pretty place worth knowing about.
Here's what we actually know firsthand, and what's worth checking on their website before you go.
Hours, event schedules, and what's open on any given day can change — including which activities require advance notice or are only available during specific festivals. Check Young Living's website directly before planning your visit.
Section One
A quiet spot to walk.
The grounds at the Young Living Lavender Farm outside Mona, Utah are free to walk and explore. It's a genuinely peaceful property — there's a small stream tucked behind the splash pad area, a little park with shade trees, and horses standing in the nearby fences. None of it feels staged or built for a crowd.
It's simply a calm, pretty place to slow down for a bit, whether you're stopping with kids or just passing through Mona and want a quiet break from the highway. You won't find a ticket booth or a turnstile. You park, you walk, you take it in for as long as you want.

Section Two
The splash pad.
The splash pad is the one feature we know for certain is free and open for general visitors — a genuinely nice surprise at a lavender farm, and a good reason to bring the kids and swimsuits if you're stopping by on a warm day.
It sits near the small stream and shaded park area, which makes that whole corner of the property an easy spot to let kids run around and cool off. Bring a towel, a change of clothes, and plan to stay longer than you expect to.
Section Three
Horses in the fences.
Horses are kept in fenced areas around the property, and seeing them up close is part of what gives the place its quiet, working-farm feel. It's a small, simple detail, but it adds to the overall calm character of the grounds.

Section Four
The lavender fields — check before you go.
The lavender fields themselves are the main draw for a lot of visitors, but access to the fields isn't something to assume — it's worth calling ahead or checking Young Living's website to understand current protocol before planning a visit around seeing or walking through the lavender specifically.
Field access can depend on the season, harvest timing, and farm operations at any given time. Lavender planting generally begins in mid-April, with harvest typically starting early to mid-July, but the most accurate, current information on field access will always come directly from Young Living.
Section Five
Festival activities are seasonal, not daily.
The property hosts a rock-climbing wall and other festival-style activities, but these are tied to specific event days throughout the year rather than being available on a typical visit. The farm hosts various seasonal events across the year.
If you're hoping to experience anything beyond the everyday free grounds — including festival activities, distillery tours, wagon rides, or other special features — check Young Living's website directly for their current event calendar before planning your trip, since availability and what's included can change.
Section Six
Why a place like this matters.
Part of what makes Mona and the broader Juab County area appealing is having quiet, low-key spots like this nearby — places that don't require a big production or a lot of planning, just a willingness to pull off the highway and slow down for a bit.
For families considering this area, small details like a free splash pad, a stream, and some shade trees add up to the kind of everyday life that's hard to capture in a listing photo but genuinely shapes what living here feels like.
"It's just a tranquil little place. Sometimes that's the whole point."
