by Carolyn Ireland

Owner Alezis Levine established Avalon Lavender Farm on his 52-acre plot of land at 347036 Mono Centre Rd., Mono, Ont., His 31,000 plants produce English and French varieties of the herb. Lavender is versatile, well-suited to the climate, and doesn’t attract mosquitoes.During the summer, the farm is open to visitors for activities that include yoga, picnics, photoshoots and high tea. Some of the guests prefer to relax on day beds in the lavender fields, meander through the mature woods, or wander the trail along the Nottawasaga River that runs along the southwest border.The lavender retail outlet.The 3,271-square-foot house has been renovated throughout with new bathrooms, kitchens and wide plank flooring. Today the home has five bedrooms and four bathrooms.The summer kitchen has been winterized and the electrical and plumbing systems have been upgraded.The farming operations make the property eligible for various tax breaks. There is a “phased in” tax of $807,000.Mr. Levine says one of his favourite parts of the day is to let the horses out to the pasture in the evening and relaxing alongside them in the tranquil setting by the river.
