Fall Service/Winterizing

I hope everyone had a good boating season! Thank you for all the business - I apologize if I wasn’t able to get back to you during my busiest time.

If you are requiring a service and/or winterizing this fall, please let me know as early as possible so I can accommodate you. 

Also, often getting overlooked are the trailer wheel bearings: it's a good idea to check them, I had two customers this year who almost lost a wheel during transport.

The best way to contact me is always email: travis@redrockmarine.ca. 

Alternately, you can leave a message at 250-416-0674 and I will get back to you.

Thank you,

Travis

Pampas Grass

I’m looking for pampas grass to cut and dry for some wedding decorations for a January wedding. 

If you by chance have extra to spare, I would love to come collect it or cut it, whichever you prefer. 

Please let me know by call or text: (250) 815-0816

Thanks so much,

Last Call (oink) on Pastured PORK!

Happy, healthy field and forest raised pigs have enjoyed a wonderful spring-summer-fall on Thetis Island farms. Maybe you've seen them munching grass, chowing down on organic fresh veggies or delighting in so many apples, plums and pears!

This is another successful cooperative farming initiative, brought to you by new and seasoned farmers and landowners all working together.

There are three whole hogs available.

• Buy a whole pig, a side, or split up an order between a few people
• Fill your freezer for winter. Share with friends & family.
• You get to pick your own cuts, smoking and sausage flavours.

Here's how it works: 
You pay $5.5/lb hanging weight*
+ your abattoir/butcher fees

*this pays the farmer for the piglet purchase, lots of feed and excellent daily care for all these months

Pigs travel a short distance to a farm-based, government certified abattoir in Duncan.
Farmers ensure their safe and stress-free travel (pigs are already in training, sleeping in their trailer at night)
Farmers return your wrapped and boxed pork for pick up at Jollity Farm.

For more info or to reserve your pork info@jollityfarm.ca or text/call 250.415.0101

Commissioner for taking Affidavits for BC
