Hello friends and neighbours.

We value you all so much and wanted to be sure to give you the news ourselves!

First off...we are not leaving Thetis Island, nor are we forsaking Jollity Farm & Nursery. We are making a move to a small second home at Fairburn Water Buffalo farm in Cobble Hill, where we will live and work Monday to Friday. A big reason for this move is to enable Finnigan to attend a high school that is a better fit for his final two years. We also aim to treasure this time as a family and carve out a bit more time for adventures together. Through a series of interesting work and family connections, we have identified a market niche and will be working on the development of a zero-waste, small scale water buffalo cheese processing facility. Stay tuned for more on this soon....

Secondly... it is our priority to be just as active in our community, and continue to support sustainable food and plant production on Thetis Island. We are currently looking for another farming family to continue the growing operation with our support. You can expect to see us on weekends as we work with the new farmers and assist them in the development of the farm and new crops.

Additionally... we are thrilled to announce that Stephanie Cottell will be taking over the plant & flower nursery and will continue to operate at Jollity Farm. We'll be there to support her along the way and help her to grow the offerings. You can look forward to many pollinator friendly plants and lots of bold, unique and colourful annual & perennial plants, naturally grown, through the seasons.

We thank you ALL for all your generous support as we have worked to grow this farm. Please continue to tell us what you want to see in terms of food security on Thetis Island, and with our growing farm co-operative, we shall all keep growing for you!
