Free Electric Range

White. Stove burners all work. Oven works but temperature is very unreliable due to thermostat issue I think. Best suited for cottage or guesthouse. Call or text me if interested.

Jollity Home Grocery Delivery - New Additions & Changes

Starting this Friday, we will include Superstore, along with the 49th, in our weekly grocery pick up & home delivery service.

For Superstore orders: 

It's easy to order online, and starting here: https://www.pcexpress.ca/ will tell you exactly how it works.

Once you have navigated to the Duncan location, you can select the date & time for pick up.

Please choose Friday and the 11-12 or 12-1pm time slot.

When you have completed your order and received a confirmation email & order number, please forward to:

info@jollityfarm.ca or text 250.415.0101.

If you are going to place an order, please confirm with us by Wednesday evening, at latest.

The Milk Run with Farm Fresh Veggies

With colder, wetter and darker evenings, home delivery of fresh farm items is a little more challenging.

Starting this week, we'd like to test a new system:

Friday evening - Jollity will deliver grocery store orders to your door (driveway length etc. dependent)

Saturday - You can pick up your orders of local milk, yogurt, bread and fresh veggies at the farm. Your orders will be bagged / boxed and labelled on the farm shop shelves, and milk, eggs etc. will be in the fridge. Drop off empty glass milk bottles in the blue crates provided, and check off the box next to your name in the book.

Please practice physical distancing when visiting the farm. If two people are already in the shop picking up their orders, please wait until they've exited. Door handles are cleaned often and hand sanitizer will be provided.

*If weekend farm pick up doesn't work for you and you'd prefer to keep getting milk delivered, we will be able to accommodate some stops.

Weekly ordering deadlines:

Milk & Yogurt by Monday at 4pm

Produce, bread & bagels by Wednesday at 4pm

Grocery pick up confirmation by Wednesday at 4pm

Community Walkthrough at the People's Apothecary Garden

On Thursday, Oct 22 between 1pm - 3pm the ThINCpod will be hosting a community walkthrough at the People's Apothecary garden, Lot 62.  Please bring a mask, and a mug for a cuppa hot apple cider!

The People's Apothecary is a medicinal plant garden located on Carolyn Askew's property, and is a part of the Thetis Island Food Cooperative. Carolyn and Elisabeth (Jollity Farm) had long been talking about starting up a medicinal garden for the community. This summer the idea was pitched to the ThINCpod who took the project under their wing and brought it to life! 

Check out the photo album to see progress photos (June - Oct):
