Seamstress Wanted

I'm looking for a seamstress to hem a few pairs of jeans. Hoping to find someone on Thetis Island.

Please contact lrgarand@yahoo.com

Here's the BEEF!

Stock up your freezer for winter with ground beef from some of our Thetis Island Farm Co-op members.

Fred from Meadow Valley raised a happy, free-ranging cow who enjoyed a diverse and healthy diet with a mix of pasture, grain, hay and lots of garden fruit & veg. 

We are accepting larger orders first, ranging from 10 to 50 lb boxes (packages are 1 to 1.5 lb each).
$7/lb

It is much easier for us to organize larger orders, rather than individual packages. 

Depending upon demand, we may keep a small amount in reserve to sell by the package at weekly markets.

All meat prepared and packaged at a Gov. Certified Abattoir Somerset Farm on Gabriola Island.

Please be prepared to pick up your order on Saturday or Sunday, Sept. 18 or 19 (we can store a small amount if you need to wait until Wed. 22)

Orders to info@jollityfarm.ca or text/phone 250.415.0101
