About Us

Nestled in the scenic Hondo Valley, just fifteen miles east of Ruidoso, NM, Swallow Hill Lavender Farm gained its name from the swallows feasting on the insects that were kicked up during the farm’s preparation. 

Now, it is our pleasure to invite you to indulge in crumpets and sip exquisite tea at The Tea Room at Swallow Hill. Surrounded by fragrant roses, vibrant blossoms, and flowering vines, each tea lounge offers a cozy retreat with airy curtains for added privacy. Beyond the garden’s edge blooms our lavender field. As you inhale the intoxicating scent of roses and jasmine, you may wonder how you ever lived without discovering The Tea Room at Swallow Hill.

“Teatime is a chance to slow down, pull back, and appreciate our surroundings.”
