BARRIE, ONT. With many days of mild temperatures in the spring, one farm is marking an excellent start to the so-called lavender season. Purple Hill Lavender Farm says they are a few weeks ahead of schedule. The 45-acre property, which has three of those acres dedicated to its crops, is already seeing high demand from members of the public. I think especially with COVID, people want something that they can enjoy and do outside, feel safe, says Jessica Ridding, the CEO of the farm. It s a beautiful place to come and have a picnic, take a stroll through our fields and really just enjoy the beauty of nature.
