Friday Bread @ Jollity Farm Shop in Chemainus

Our friend Kiona is back and delivering her artisan sourdough loaves to the farm shop every Friday. Made with locally milled organic flour with the traditional slow-ferment method. Loaves go quickly so if you or friends traveling to Thetis want to reserve, we are taking orders ahead of each Friday and standing orders are accepted as well. Big, beautiful loaves are $13.50/each.

Orders can be made by calling the farm shop at 250.246.9188 or email orders@jollityfarmshop.ca.

If someone has picked it up, could you return it to Heather at Telegraph Harbour, please?

It has sentimental value and was handmade for me in India.

Push-In Event a Success!

Despite the heavy heat radiating off the cement at high noon, there were many community members who joined us for the traditional Push-In ceremony of the new Engine 1 at the firehall on Wednesday. Thank you to everyone who came out to join your firefighters in celebrating the retirement of the old Engine and the new Engine being put into service. Hot dogs, cold drinks and lots of community visiting made the event a great success.
