Jollity Deliveries on Hold & Saturday Availability

Due to weather and travel advisories, we are choosing to stay home and stay safe! We apologize for any inconvenience this causes.

While we'd like to do a 'catch-up' trip on Monday, many of our farm and food partners have scheduled closures from the 23 to 28th, so we may just have to resume our regular schedule on Thursday, 29th. Stay tuned and we shall update you as we hear more.

The shop won't be open on Saturday as our driveway is pretty treacherous, but we are happy to put orders in the Kiosk for pick up. You can always park down below and trudge on up. 

We do have a couple spare bottles of milk and cream, eggs, arugula, mizuna, garlic, frozen roosters, ice cream, coffee and lots of yummy preserves.

We'll update our online order form by noon today so you can use that to order, or just text/call or email with requests.

Thanks everyone for understanding! We appreciate you all and wish everyone a safe, cozy and festive holiday.
