Looking for a Book

Does anyone by chance have a copy of ‘The Castle of Wizardry’ by David Eddings that I could borrow or buy?

Thank you!

Organic Compost Orders

We are ready to organize early spring delivery of certified organic compost from Farm to Garden.

We are waiting for the latest trucking quote, but imagine it may be similar to last fall, working out to $122/yard.

It is excellent quality compost, and we are typically ordering the fine sifted type, which is great for amending flower and veggie beds.

Chad will continue to offer his delivery service with his dumping trailer, for an additional cost.

We are starting to gather numbers so we'll know how many deliveries to arrange, so please let us know if you are interested and how many yards you will need.

We will also get some bagged product in too if you only need a smaller amount.

Questions and requests to info@jollityfarm.ca.

With thanks,  Jollity Farmers

Incursion of Urban Values into Rural Areas

The CRD (Capital Regional District) is taking a Salt Spring family to court for refusing to relinquish their rooster. Apparently, CRD Bylaw Enforcement is hoping to win this case in order to set a precedent across the Southern Gulf Islands. The CRD Chief Enforcement Officer is reported to not see small 'hobby' farms or 'back yard flocks' as legitimate farming.

Luckily we are not in the CRD, but if you would like to help your neighbors on Salt Spring who are suffering from this drive to urbanization, and perhaps reduce the risk of this kind of thing eventually happening here on Thetis, there is a petition you could sign at:
