Free Items & Items for Sale & Boat for Sale

Free #1 - 20 ft Holliday trailer. Used as a guest bedroom but no longer needed. Had a major leak, lots of work necessary but still functional. Licensed but not in my name. Electrical is OK but don't know about the appliances. Will deliver on Thetis for a minimal # of Luckys. Skookum tarp included.

Free #2 - Beaver Rockwell table saw. Heavy duty, cast iron table. Likely have many spare blades. New condenser for the motor. Worth its weight in scrap cast iron and the motor. You pick up.

Free #3 - Bandsaw. Needs belt and blade. Motor works, can't be bothered to get it functioning and running. You pick up.

Free #4 - An interesting homemade, Underwater camera setup. Hasn't been used for decades. It either has a color screen or a color camera...can't remember.

Free #5 - The Pelican case is worth taking it off my hands. Again, the scrap electrical is worth your effort.

For Sale: I also have a lot of plastic pails, food grade with waterproof, sealing lids. Dusty but almost new. Cost a lot back then...willing to sell for 1999 prices.

Boat For Sale: Beautiful, Crestliner 17ft. aluminum boat and Karavan trailer with papers. 115 hp Johnson motor (Suzuki) with questionable hours on it. New impeller, new throttle cable, Pierre did lots of work on her. Runs at low speed. Unfortunately, the necessary repairs to get her skookum is not worth it. I'll take any offers...thinking maybe 5k?

Sorry, not our regular salad... plus, What's on the fresh list?

If you received a less than stellar salad mix last weekend, we are
sorry! From time to time we have a system or helper change and before we
have realized that something has gone wrong, the product has already
left the farm.

Our fresh, crisp and long lasting salads have returned this week. We are
happy to report things have been remedied. Thanks for your
understanding. If you felt like your salad was wasted last week, please
let us know and we'll gladly replace or offer a discount.

On the harvest list for this coming weekend from Jollity Farm and friends:
Strawberries
Mixed greens
Garlic greens
Heads of romaine
Red beets
Spring onion
Carrots
Baby Cucumbers
Cherry and San Marzano tomatoes
Radish
Herbs
Asparagus
Free Range Eggs

On the Kombucha taps this week: Nettles & Petals and Citrus Ginger

Fresh batch of dumplings and chili oil this week too!

See you at the farm Saturday 10am to 1pm. If our hours don't work for
you, most of our veggies are also in our Chemainus farm shop or can be
left at the Kiosk for you.

With thanks,

Jollity Farmers

The People’s Apothecary Garden - Plant of the Week #10 - Lamb’s Ear

Best known for its amazingly fuzzy feeling leaves, lamb’s ear is a favourite among the TIES (Thetis Island Elementary School) community. One student was so blown away by it, he exclaimed upon feeling it, “Woah! Is that thing real??!” Although not a scrumptious plant like some, lamb’s ear does have medicinal properties!
