Thetis Island Grocery Delivery Service
Tuesday, March 24, 2020 at 3:29PM In an effort to help islanders stay home & stay safe, Habitat Farm Co-op is launching our new grocery delivery service. One of our priorities will be picking up farm fresh products from other Vancouver Island food producers and farmers, as they need our support right now. This will be a professional delivery service we want you to count on, but please be patient as we are launching in rather a hurry. We will start small this Thursday, March 26 and you can look forward to new items and options being added each week. We are in the process of building a website ordering system, so stay tuned for a link....coming soon.
We are working with experienced food providers who are following all safety protocols, and there will be no contact during pick up. We will also be practicing utmost care and cleanliness in handling of orders.
Some of the local items you can look forward to in the coming weeks:
Coffee (Drumroaster or Fantastico) until Pot of Gold is open again
Free Range Eggs (Habitat Farm & Lockwood Farms)
Meat & Cheese (Farm & Field Butcher)
Milk (Cowichan Milk Company)
Baking (Wild Fire & True Grain)
Grains & pulses (Nootka Rose Milling)
Veggies (Jollity Farm, Longview & Saanich Organics)
Veggie Starts & Plants (Jollity Farm)
Sausages & Cured Meats (Habitat Farm)
