On this week’s Let’s Talk About… episode, Elise sits down with Julie Thurgood-Burnett, founder and CEO of Hereward Farms.
Hereward Farms is a lavender farm located just outside of Orangeville that grows lavender and makes farm-skin products. The business started in 2020 when Julie was curious about growing lavender. Starting from 40 lavender plants to now over 6,000 plants, Julie managed to grow her business and become a local favourite with her background in cosmetology and marketing.
Elise and Julie talk about the story behind Hereward Farms, the journey of creating products, the benefits of lavender, and the importance of transparency with brands.
"I did work downtown. I was a total city girl. Like his grandfather used to laugh at me and say, you're gonna have to sell your car if you're going to live out here kind of thing. Right? And I'm like, no, no. , so I've changed my high heels for my blood stones and cartwright overalls.” Julie tells Elise on Let’s Talk About.
