Memorial Tree

Hi

There is a small memorial tree on Moore Hill. There are certain items hanging from it for a reason. Please be so kind and thoughtful and not remove any of them.

The Minion would like to hang from the tree again. Do return it.

It is at the Rexall drugstore on Willow Street, across from the post office.

It will be very much appreciated. I have cash, if you wish to have it for the pick-up, or pay after.

Shredding Styrofoam

For all Thetis Islander who are serious and like to avoid that Styrofoam is going to the landfill or burned south in any power plant. I work on a few 'insulation' projects where I can shred and use up Styrofoam. However, I am not setup for industrial scale recycling or shredding. My shredder is small - up to max 5 inch opening! And please understand I am not willing to drive around collecting and sorting through "garbage" to make it usable and end up with other waste.

What I can use is clean Styrofoam (Polystyrene - small balls visible) and without any paint, metal, tape, plastic, connectors etc. !!)  And sorry NO coffee cups, meat trays, egg cartons etc.

AND please the Styrofoam has to be broken up into hand size pieces otherwise I don't get into the shredder. Sorry but that is the work you have to invest to get rid off your Styrofoam waste. Nothing is for free even driving with the ferry over to the Recycling/Dump will cost you!!

If you have some Styrofoam please call/text to arrange drop off.

What's Happening at the Farm?

Due to freezing temps and snow, we won't be harvesting anything for market this Saturday, and only open for regular order pick up.

Thanks everyone for placing your orders this week. Your usual dairy and baking is here for you, along with Dumplings, Kombucha and other treats.

The driveway may be slippery so we suggest parking in the lower lots and walking up.

The greenhouses are pretty nice at this time of year and despite the weather outside, they are both full of lots of emerging shoots. So many good things to come. Here's to spring arriving soon!

With thanks,

Jollity Farmers
