Dr. Henry Cabrera is recognized as the driving force behind Lavender Waves Farm, a picturesque sanctuary located in the heart of Rhode Island.
Lavender Waves Farm embodies Dr. Henry Cabrera’s commitment to fostering a harmonious connection between humanity and the natural world. Through this enchanting retreat, he seeks to inspire visitors to rediscover the beauty of nature, promoting mindfulness and environmental appreciation.
Dr. Cabrera’s journey began in 2016 when he acquired the property formerly known as Gatewood Farm, which had fallen into disrepair as a pig and cattle farm. He started by planting corn to rejuvenate the land.
Over the following four years, fueled by his passion for nature, wellness, and creating memorable experiences, he transformed this once-neglected site into a serene haven for those seeking tranquility and unique interactions with the environment. His dedication to sustainable practices is evident throughout the farm, reflecting his commitment to eco-friendly and regenerative agriculture.
Situated in South Kingston, just two miles from the coast, Lavender Waves Farm spans 14 acres and features 4,000 lavender plants. Since its opening in 2020, it has welcomed over 2,500 visitors annually, including descendants of the original Gatewood Farm owners.
Lavender Waves Farm is a serene retreat where guests can unwind and embrace nature as a form of therapy. At the heart of this enchanting destination stands a lovely gazebo, enveloped in vibrant purple hues and soothing scents.
Yet, the charm of Lavender Waves Farm goes well beyond its lavender fields. The farm offers a variety of experiences that allow visitors to forge lasting memories while connecting with the natural world.
Under Dr. Henry Cabrera guidance, the farm promotes lavender cultivation, community engagement, and awareness of sustainable living and holistic wellness. Guests can pick their own lavender, participate in invigorating yoga sessions amidst the fragrant blooms, join craft workshops, or capture special moments through personalized photo shoots. No matter your interests, there are endless activities to enjoy on the property.
Adding a touch of luxury, the farm also offers Lavender Picnics, complete with themes like Tiffany, French Country, and Classic Picnic. Partnering with local sandwich shops, Lavender Waves Farm provides delicious lunch options, or guests are welcome to bring their own. These picnics set against the backdrop of blooming lavender create the perfect setting for a delightful culinary experience.
Additionally, visitors can interact with the farm’s diverse animal residents. Home to about 75 animals, including chickens, ducks, geese, white peacocks, alpacas, llamas, and camels, the farm offers a unique opportunity to connect with nature. Among Dr. Cabrera’s favorites are camels Humphrey, Jack, and Bingham, who often make appearances at farm events. His commitment to animal welfare ensures a safe and enjoyable environment for guests and animals alike.
