New Roadside Egg Stand!

We've made it easier for you to pick up our pasture-raised, Habitat Livestock Co-op Eggs.

Check out the fabulous self-serve egg stand on Mission Rd. 

DIRECTIONS:

Lift the handle for eggs stored in the cooler. Deposit $6/doz or $10/2 doz into the secured cash box* OR record your IOU and pay monthly at Jollity Farm, or by e-transfer. Please mark your purchase either way, as it helps us track sales.

Please return clean, used egg cartons to shelves in cupboard. Preview at www.instagram.com/habitat.farm

*Cash box is emptied daily.

**You can still pick up eggs in the fridge at Jollity any day of the week

Campfire and Yard Waste Fire Permits No Longer Required

From November 1 to April 1 Thetis Island Fire Permits are no longer required for campfires or hand piled yard waste fires.  

However, you must check the Venting Index before you ignite your burn pile.  (You must not light the pile on days where smoke will not be vented sufficiently.)  

Category 3 fires- also called machine pile fires, must be registered with the Province and the R -Number recorded by the fire department and a local fire permit obtained from the fire chief or delegate, and may be subject to a site inspection.
