Jollity Farm Updates

Now that the weather is changing, we have limited supply of fresh veggies and lack of sufficient indoor space, today will be our last regular market of the season.

Stay tuned for more updates, but it is likely we will offer an increased home delivery service over winter.

For the weeks ahead, we will continue to supply salad, braising greens, carrots, kale, garlic, frozen tomatoes, preserves, eggs, local dairy, baking etc. but only pre-ordered. You can use our handy order form which is always available on the home page of our website. The order form is updated every Sunday evening. All baking and dairy orders must always be in by Monday at noon.

We will continue to stock up our Kiosk every Wednesday morning with salad, eggs and other seasonal goodies.

If you would like to pick up your regular Saturday order at the Kiosk, just ask and we'll put it down there. It's cold enough soon for milk, eggs and yogurt to stay out there for the morning. Frozen items and Kombucha will always be up in the farm shop.

Back on the Kombucha tap this week: Nettles and Petals and Botanical Pear
Also, we have a fresh delivery of your favourite Dumpling Drop Chili Oil

We will have all our tasty preserves, including quince gummies and dehydrated cherry tomatoes, available at the Christmas Market next Saturday, Dec. 3.

Looking For a Friendly Printer on Thetis

Howdy y'all
Since coming to Thetis the one or two pdfs that I've needed in print have been graciously granted to me by my daughter in law who is currently on vacation.

Thus I'm "Wondering" if I might find another Thetis Islander who would be willing to provide laser printer service whilst my regular printer is vacationing.

Can pay with cash, cookies, a song, broken ribs light labor grunts, smiles, gentle hugs, high fives...

Name your flavor I'll check if it is in stock. 

I appreciate y'all

Space Heater Alert

Cold weather is in the forecast.  We would like to remind everyone that space heaters CANNOT be plugged into power strips or extension cords. 

Plug space heaters directly into the wall outlet.

Powers strips are not designed to handle the high current flow required by a space heater and can overheat, causing a fire.

Pick-up Sofa Left at Bottle Return

I noticed a sofa dumped at the bottle return. I will be going to CVRD Bings Creek Recycling Thursday Dec. 1^st and will take the sofa. I need a volunteer to help load it into my truck. It would be nice if the person who dumped it, volunteered. No questions asked. :)

Sunday 1:00 pm until 4:00 pm
