Telegraph Harbour Meats - are you a liver lover?

We have a new round of meat in, this one is special for a few reasons:

1. Restock of grassfed Farmers Sausage (cooked & uncooked)
2. Heritage striploins back in stock
3. Veal Sweetbreads (the kids love these, we have a very small amount spare, but if you've never tried them!)
4. Grass-fed grass-finished beef *liver* - we got a good price on these - I've portioned this and frozen for easier slicing. I'll put some in the breaks to go fridge, but in general they will be in the back walk in.
5. Grass-fed grass-finished beef *heart* - cleaned and flat cut. The flavour and price are really good on these. I've left them fresh for a few days if you want to stew them or grind them, then I will freeze the remainder.

As last time: we have frozen chicken thighs, frozen ducks, ground turkey, ground venison, grass-fed ground beef, frozen eye of rounds for stewing or roasting, and good prices on the frozen strip loin, and frozen ribeye.

Knitting Group: Friday, December 6, 2:00pm until 4:00pm

Thetis in the News

For anyone who missed it, CBC British Columbia had a nice story this weekend about how Thetis residents manage power outages.

The story includes photos and quotes from a number of Thetis people, and is still on the CBC website at:

There's also a podcast:

Looking for a Washing Machine

Hoping someone on the island might have a high capacity washing machine for sale. Something that can handle a five-person household.

Unfortunately, ours just decided to quit so we need to find something soon if possible.

Kind regards,

Thetis Island Backyard Honey

I have ten 250ml jars of my Thetis Island backyard raw honey for sale.

The jars are $20.00 each and they come with a homemade beeswax candle.

Food is scarce for the bees on the island, so they are not prolific honey producers.

Jollity Farm Seasonal Hours & Availability

Our Saturday farm market will be closed this year from December 15 to January 3. The dates coincide with some holiday hours at Cowichan Milk.

We will be prepared to pick up extra dairy next week for pick up Saturday,
Dec. 14, and will do a True Grain Bakery and bagel run, if you want to stock up for the rest of the month.

A reminder will be sent out again next Sunday, but we hope this helps to plan ahead.

Our Chemainus farm shop will continue to be stocked up with veggies and lots of goodies through the month, so we welcome you to stop by en route to and from Thetis.

The farm shop and cafe will be closed Dec. 24, 25 & 26 and probably Jan 1 (stay tuned!).

With thanks for all your support through the year!

Winter Concert: Saturday, December 14

3 pm at the Community Centre. All are welcome.

The concert will showcase our school students singing a variety of songs and present a few individual acts.

Several other community members will entertain us with musical interludes on the piano, fiddle, and kalimba. We'll watch some belly dance, listen to a soprano solo, and some poetry.

There will be opportunity for the audience to sing along to seasonal favourites.

Light refreshments will be served after the hour-long concert. Please join us to celebrate the season, our community, and friends.

P.S. A plate of finger foods to be shared during refreshments would be very much appreciated, thank you.
