Lavender fields are a joy to behold. Purple and green under the golden sun, they inspire artists around the world, and throughout time. Canada is lucky to have many such views spread across our great land, but these crops also come with their share of hard work and turmoil. And with 2020 being an unusual year due to the pandemic, each of the Canadian lavender farmers we talked to have had to adapt in new ways to grow and share their farms and products.
“As we all know, 2020 was a hard year for everyone,” says Kate Murphy of Columbia Valley Lavender Farm in British Columbia.
