THE BLACKMARKET BARN IS the jewel of Rowanwood. WITH IT’S UNIQUE DESIGN AND PICTURESQUE SURROUNDINGS, THIS VENUE EMBODIES the charm of rural heritage WHILE PROVIDING modern amenities.

We are collaborating closely with local officials and regional partners to bring this vision to life. Our focus is on creating a space that not only meets the needs of our community but also enhances the natural beauty of the area.

As we work through the planning and development phases, our commitment to sustainability and local engagement remains strong. This initiative represents a significant investment in the community, fostering connections and providing a destination that celebrates the essence of our region.

The Blackmarket Barn is more than just a venue; it is a place where memories will be made and where the spirit of Rowanwood thrives. We look forward to sharing more updates as we progress toward our goal of making this breathtaking venue a reality.

“The lavender harvest at Rowanwood is a tranquil experience occurring in early summer. Vibrant mounds of lavender attract pollinators. Staff hand-harvest the best blooms, for dried bouquets and lavender products. The blue sky and nature's sounds enhance this seasonal highlight.”

“Fresh and dried lavender is available at select events and farmers' markets in the Niagara Region. Visitors can enjoy its vibrant colors and soothing scents. Fresh lavender is ideal for cooking, while dried lavender suits crafting, aromatherapy, and home fragrances.”
