Capernwray Students Returning

Dear Island Neighbours, Our students will be returning to Capernwray Harbour this upcoming Sunday, January 11th. We wanted to let you know as this might affect ferry traffic that day. We have 90 students this semester! We anticipate that they will arrive on scattered ferries throughout the afternoon. The majority will be walk-ons with a few vehicles. Thank you for your patience and understanding. Please let us know if you have any questions. Capernwray Harbour Office

Jollity Farm - We're back! Happy New Year!

Open Saturday 10-1

Hope you all had enjoyable winter festivities. We enjoyed a wee bit of time to relax and dream about the year ahead. It's hard to believe that planting for this year already starts in a few weeks.

We are back to the usual schedule with all dairy orders due by Monday evening. If we don't hear differently, we'll assume you are having your usual milk and eggs. We'll be picking up bagels this week and True Grain bakery next week. We have a few extra Levain sourdough available this Saturday.

Thank you all for visiting our farm every Saturday. We love to see you and catch up each week.
