Cathy Finley stands inside her future kitchen at the new home she and her husband are building on their property. Orignally designed when they were in better financial standing, the home was meant to be the centre of Laurica Farm. “It has a greenhouse for growing and a demonstration kitchen for cooking classes. It was meant to really be the heart of the farm,” said Cathy. “It was really an integral part of the business this year. It’s not a massive house, it’s not a luxurious house particularly. It’s just a single family home. We tried to remain in that discourse of sustainability, as we also do with our farming. So it’s the first house built from Canadian hemp.
