The Milk Run
Monday, March 30, 2020 at 12:45PM Thank you to everyone who has expressed interest in the Local Milk Run! We appreciate your patience as we've waited for Cowichan Dairy to have their amazing new system finally approved.
We know these hard working 2nd and 3rd generation farmers from our time at the Fairburn Buffalo Dairy, and have toured their immaculate dairy and milk processing set up. They take great care of their 50 girls who enjoy farm grown grasses and a hi-tech, spa-style barn!
Our delivery service is a brand new venture which we fast tracked in order to meet the current needs of the island. It is our hope, that by helping to bring good things to you, you can stay home and stay safe.
How this will work (for the immediate future):
Request a price list and order form by contacting Elisabeth at info@jollityfarm.ca, or click on the link at the bottom of this posting.
Delivery fees - If you are already receiving grocery or 'other' weekly deliveries, there is no extra fee to have your milk included. Your $10 delivery contribution will cover special items like this. If you want milk delivery only, there is a $2 surcharge. If you would like to pick up in the Jollity fridge, this can also be arranged. Pick up must be on Thursday evening or Friday and shop protocol will be shared with you prior.
As we get to enjoy wonderful reusable glass bottles, there is a $2/bottle deposit. You will be charged this per bottle fee for your first two deliveries. This will allow us to pick up your clean bottles for return on our second week.
On delivery day, please place your tote(s) and/or coolers at the end of your driveway. Place your clean and dry milk bottle inside. We will collect as we drop off your fresh delivery.
Invoices will be supplied bi-monthly or monthly and payable via etransfer or cheque (can be left in an envelope in tote or cooler)
Order cut off time **Tuesday at 4pm**. We must receive your order by this time each week, to allow the farmers adequate time to prepare our order.
Safety protocols:
There are only 2 people that may touch your bottle of milk during transit, and both are paying strict attention to mega hand washing, wearing gloves and a face mask (when required), using a locally made Gin & Orange sanitizer (ask us if you need some), and wiping down totes and all surfaces with a disinfectant.
Cowichan Milk's sanitary & milk safety practices are already exemplary, but of course, they have taken additional precautions handling everything.
If your immunity is comprised, it is especially important to treat every item that enters your home as if it could be contaminated. Search online to find some excellent videos that show you how to safely sanitize all items.
