Jollity Farm Home Delivery plus The Milk Run

Cowichan Milk, Habitat Farm Co-op Eggs, Montreal Style Bagels and Salad Dressing available as usual this week.

Locally Made Yeshi Dressing - we sold out of the original flavour in the first week, but still have Ginger/Sesame & Chipotle left. Should we order more of the original flavour. Do you love it like we do??

Tree Island Yogurt - Greek style & cream top artisan yogurt made with milk from 100% Grass fed cows. This is another Vancouver Island made product we are considering adding to the weekly 'milk run'. Have you tried their cardamom & orange blossom flavour yet? Simply delicious! Let us know if you are interested.

Thetis Island Asparagus - available with Thursday delivery

We always appreciate your feedback, as you are the people our co-op grows food for. If you purchased early harvest asparagus and found you had a bit too much stalk, then we encourage you to try again this week at a special price - $10/lb. This will be a full lb (with zero waste) of wonderful freshly picked asparagus, grown naturally, full of nutrition and flavour.

Stay tuned for Jollity & Habitat harvest & produce available updates on Wednesday...

We must skip our plant nursery run for this week, as the farm needs all hands on deck for a big week of transplanting & irrigation work.

Please continue to email or call with your plant requests and we'll add them to next week's trip. Similar for bagged potting soil, organic veggie blend and sea soil.

Please submit Bagel, Milk & Salad Dressing requests by Tuesday at 5pm.

Please confirm 49th (or Community Farm Shop, Prescription, or 'other') pickups by Wednesday at 3pm.

New Bird Book Launched Today

Bird's-Eye View: Keeping Wild Birds in Flight, my new non-fiction book for middle readers (9-12 yrs and their adults) about wild birds and bird conservation, has been released into the world today by Orca Book Publishers as part of their Orca Wild series.

I usually do a book launch on Thetis for friends and family, but alas, this year gathering together to celebrate is not possible. So I thought I would let you know by eSPOKES in case anyone would like to check it out. I'll be ordering a box of books on May 20 - so if you'd like an endorsed copy delivered to your door, let me know before then and I'll make sure to reserve you one. The retail price is $25. I'll pay the shipping and GST as a launch special, or you can ask for it from your favourite bookseller.

You can find out more about Bird's-Eye View at the Orca Book Publishers website (orcabook.com) or via my website anneriksson.ca under the menu heading 'Nature Books for Young Readers'.

Thanks for your support and happy bird watching. I expect you are enjoying the many wonderful spring birds that are out and about right now.

Mailers Needed

I need up to 4 large padded mailing envelopes 19"x15" or bigger and wonder if anyone has any used ones in decent shape kicking around.

If you have new ones I'm happy to buy them.

Trying not to go to town. 

Thanks!
