Jollity Farm has Big News!

(it's a small island so you've probably already heard the rumors :)

Our little farm shop has found a new home in Chemainus at the former Nic's Cafe. We are so grateful to Sjoerd and Nicole for creating such a welcoming community hub, and we will continue to spread the Jolly vibes.

We offer coffee and tea (stayed tuned as new coffee beans and are coming soon), plus handmade goodies inspired by the season and Thetis Island farm products. For example, on the menu this week, you'll find muffins using local pear, apple, fig and pumpkin, plus Calzones (made by Virginia) using all Jollity seasonal ingredients and ethical meats. Our new fridge has moved in and will be filled up with Jollity produce, free range eggs and more through the coming week.

These are humble beginnings for us as we are in the midst of harvest season, thus our buckets are already overflowing. As we move towards winter, our focus will turn back to the ready-made meal project and we'll begin to offer light breakfast and lunch at the cafe. As we have more time we will expand our offerings to include a lot more plant-based and gluten free options and lots of items that are convenient for ferry travel.

You will recognize friendly faces from Thetis Island behind the counter at the cafe. We couldn't do this without the talents and support of Finn, Yuka, Liesbeth, Kees and Aimee (and everyone else who has helped out).

For now, our hours are Monday - Saturday 7am to 4pm, but soon we'll be open 7 days a week from 6:30 am to 5pm (and maybe even to 8:30 pm).

Thank you to every one of you who has stopped by to say hello and show your support. We are always happy to hear your suggestions as we aim to please and be of service to our friends on Thetis and Penelakut Islands.

We haven't had time to update our website yet, but updates will continue through our newsletter, and soon we'll post the weekly menu on our site. You can follow along here too: https://www.instagram.com/jollity.farm/

With thanks,
