The store is large at around 7000 square feet, since it was a former grocery store. Much work was put into restoring the building
both internally and externally.

Hiflsview Farms fell somewhat behind
from wet weatber, but still open in Seafortb

Hillsview Farms is slightly
behind on its growing schedule
due to the recent multiple blasts
of precipitation hitting south-
western Ontario; the double
digit Celsius forecast however is
proving to be a positive for the
locally family run
establishment.
"It was a really, really wet
spring, so that makes it difficult
to get on the field, to even get
the field prepared to plant,"
stated the owner of Hillsview
Farms, Wanda Hill.
To be fully caught up, Hill
expects to bounce back in the
next two weeks, for now the
spinach and lettuce are facing
the biggest blow in
backtracking.
The peas are on time, how-
ever she would have preferred
to plant those a bit earlier.
""But it's dried up now, so we
are at full speed at getting every-
thing in the ground," said Hill
last Thursday when the temper-
atures reached close to 30
degrees Celsius.
It's been about two decades
that the Hill family has been cul-
tivating the 25 -acre Lucknow
farm and 10 years of providing
Huron County with all of its veg-
etable needs through conces-
sion stands.

Produce
Hillsview Farms in Seaforth last year.
At this moment, Hillsview
Farms are open on display in
Toronto on Tuesdays, Clinton
on Wednesdays, downtown Sea -
forth on Thursdays, Fridays in
Goderich and in Georgetown
Ont. on Saturdays.
From a recent mandate from
locals in Bayfield, Hill said they
may have a stand in service, "we
applied there, we are currently
waiting for approval," she said
while mentioning that they were
technically supposed to be in
Bayfield May 18.
In the past, Ilillsview Farms
has launched in other small
towns in The stretch between
Huron County and Toronto, but
Hill told the Expositor that since
they are mostly family operated,
manpower was lacking for those
initiatives.
"We didn't have enough
trucks and people," she said.
Before developing a secure
customer base in Huron
County, the farmers markets
were their main source of
income, specifically in the
Toronto region.
Those roles have changed and
Hill said she and her family are
more than happy to provide the
region with locally grown
produce.
