Photographers, help shape the farm

Honey Run Lavender is a lavender farm planned for a hillside in Butte Creek Canyon, near the Honey Run Covered Bridge, with lavender terraced down the slope. It opens for photo sessions in 2030. Before then, I'd like to know when you'd shoot here, what you'd need, and what feels like a fair price. It takes about 3 minutes.
