53: Part II Living Lavender with Renee Ellsworth

Send us Fan MailMeet Renee, a Seattle area native, whose journey began as a young teenager working in the restaurant industry.Starting as a hostess in a local bar and grill in Woodinville, Renee quickly developed a passion for people, creating memorable experiences, and recognizing the significance of a place.Her time in the restaurant industry taught her the value of attentive service and the importance of anticipating the unspoken needs of guests.After high school, Renee ventured into the world of commercial real estate, initially taking on an entry-level job answering phones.Over the course of 25 years, she climbed the ranks and eventually retired as the Vice President of Human Resources and Organizational Development for a prominent Pacific Northwest firm that she played a pivotal role in establishing in 2006.When Renee and her partner began envisioning their ideal life together, their dream took shape in the form of Our Legacy Fields Lavender Farm.Their goal was to lead a purposeful life, prioritizing the things that truly mattered to them, and stepping away from the stress of big city jobs and lifestyles.In 2017, an opportunity arose to purchase Renee's grandparents' retired horse farm, providing the perfect foundation for their lavender farm vision.The COVID-19 pandemic in 2020 accelerated their plans, prompting Renee and her partner to sell their home near downtown Seattle and relocate their family to Stanwood, WA.With a deep sense of purpose and a vision to create a lavender farm for their loved ones and community, they officially opened the gates of Our Legacy Fields Lavender Farm in 2021.The fulfillment and joy they have experienced since embarking on this endeavor have surpassed their wildest expectations, making the lavender farm a cherished destination for all.Website: https://ourlegacyfields.com/IG: @ourlegacyfieldsFacebook: ourlegacyfieldslavendeSeason2 Support the showYour support and contributions are vital in sustaining and expanding The Voice4Chefs podcast.Become a monthly supporter:https://www.buzzsprout.com/1432717/supportYour donations aid in amplifying the voices of chefs globally. https://www.paypal.com/paypalme/voice4chefs?locale.x=en_USShare your thoughts!
