After 21 years, the Lewis Mountain Olde Thyme Herb Festival has come to an end.

We would like to give thanks to all of the employees, vendors, family "volunteers", and the thousands of attendees who made this such a great success for so many years.
A LOT of work went into this each year, but the resulting festival was alway worth it.

As the farm is presently for sale, We are leaving this page in place to show potential buyers part of what we have done.

To be completely clear - the Herb Fair at Lewis Mountain has ended (not moved). The fair WILL BE RETURNING in 2010 at a new location. The Lewis Mountain Old Thyme Herb Fair will be hosted by Jo Hall of Hilltop Designs just west of Winchester, Ohio. You can contact Jo by e-mail at johall2742@yahoo.com or by phone at 937-695-5545.
