Warmer Weather Predicted: Know Your Mushrooms

Environment Canada has just sent out information that we are heading into a ridge of high-pressure starting May 31-June 1 that will bring temperatures 2 to 5 degrees above normal.  This is not a high heat event but due to the recent cool, unsettled, and wet weather, this coming heat may produce a lot of mushrooms popping up, several species of which are toxic to humans, cats, and dogs.  Please know your mushrooms and don’t let your pets eat mushrooms when out on walks.  

The Amanita Mushrooms are especially toxic, and a couple of the Amanita species have been found on Thetis.

Saturday Market Extended Hours

We look forward to seeing you on Saturday offering extended hours this week from 10 am to 3 pm.   An extra hour to enjoy some homemade baking and coffee and catch up with your neighbours.  

Stock up on plants, knitted goods, home baking, jams and jellies, soaps or purchase handmade gifts  including wood turned items, baskets, kids clothing, etc.  Be sure and check out the piggy planters crafted by Rick Koeppen. 

Oversized Vehicles on Ferry Friday and Saturday

We will have two 30+ foot vehicles, hoping for a spot on the 4:05p or 7:15p ferries to Thetis on Friday 27 May.  Both vehicles will likely be heading back on Saturday, but I don't yet know what time.
On return we can try to split them up so as not to hog too much of any one sailing.

Certified Organic Blueberry Orders

Similar to last year our friends in North Saanich will offer their fresh, flash-frozen organic blueberries in 10 lb boxes.
The order window opens this weekend and fills up fast. Last year as a group we ordered 430 lbs! What a great way to support sustainable local agriculture.

Same price as last year: $60/10 lb box

Orders to info@jollityfarm.ca / 250.415.0101

Asparagus Delivery to Victoria

Perhaps you are reading this from your home in Victoria, and wish you could enjoy the best Thetis Island organically grown asparagus? Well guess what? You can!

Next Thursday, June 2 we'll be swinging through the city on our usual route and can make a couple of delivery stops. Perhaps you'd like to offer to family or neighbours and let them delight in a real Thetis Island grown delicacy. It's only here until it's gone for another year.
(ps. we can drop off Jollity salad greens and our pastured pork sausages at the same time :)

$14/lb

Orders, questions info@jollityfarm.ca / 250.415.0101

Join us virtually to celebrate the publication of Coast Salish Elder Raymond Tony Charlie's new book, In the Shadow of the Red Brick Building (Askew Creek, 2022). In the book, Ray Tony shares his personal story as a residential school survivor and his journey to healing.

As a child, Ray Tony attended both Kuper Island (now Penelakut Island) residential school and St. Mary’s residential school in Mission, B.C. His new book is one of several ways that he has patiently shared his struggles and healing journey to help people understand what really happened at these institutions, and to support others in their own healing.

Please join us as we stand with Ray Tony Charlie to celebrate his accomplishment as a new author and to acknowledge the journey he took to get there. Penelakut Elder Florence James and her son Rocky James will also stand with Ray Tony as relatives and to offer cultural support at the event.

LG 39" LED Screen TV

If you want a smaller size TV for a guest room or for the kid's room this one is yours for free. On a stand; wall mount bracket not included. 
Made in Mexico in June 2013. Model 39LN5300 comes with instruction booklet and Roku add-on. 
Still works, so I'd rather not take it in to the recycling depot. 
Pick up in Chemainus near the ferry.
