FARM NEWS (3 notes)
#1 - Time for Change! Our new baking schedule.
|
This will be our final Saturday bake for our farm stand. We will be at the Sunshine Bay Community Market beginning June 16th and then every Sunday until the end of the season. We will be bringing all your favourite breads, bagels and treats alongside all the fresh fruit and veggies from the farm. We can't wait to be regulars at this years market!
|
During market season our Farm Stand Cabin will continue to be stocked with eggs, garden produce and much more and we will be happy to see you around the farm any day of the week.
|
This email will shift away from being a weekly announcement of what we will stock on Saturdays and it will become a spot where we update you on what's going on here at the farm and also have a list of the things you can expect to see at market and in the Farm Stand throughout the week.
|
#2 - Wednesday Bread Orders
|
We are going to experiment with weekly pre-orders for our sourdough bread. This will begin on June 26th. If you are interested in picking up fresh sourdough on Wednesdays, you can send me an email to emily@growwild.com by Sunday evening to let me know your order. The first deadline for orders will be by the evening of Sunday June 23rd. I'll update the loaves we will have available in upcoming emails. Stay tuned!

3 - Bulk Feed
We are beginning an exciting working relationship with Lakeland Farm. Check them out here www.lakelandfarms.ca. They are certified organic livestock feed producers out of Salmon Arm. We have noticed that the options for organic feed locally are limited and cost prohibitive, so we are doing our part to try to make things a little easier for backyard and small producers.
|
Right now we have 17% Layer feed available for $1.425/kg. We also have 9 bags of 20% Broiler Grower for $29.50/20kg and one bag of 20% Broiler Starter.
|
For the bulk feed, you bring us your containers and we will fill them for you. With enough interest we will get our systems dialled to be able to fill large container directly, but for now all containers will be filled by the measured bucket load. We are happy to do the work to move as many kgs as you need into your containers.
|
Please reach out if this interests you and help us spread the word ❤️

Our address is 655 Ferguson Rd. As you drive down the driveway you will pass some old stables. Just beyond the stables is an open area you can park in. Our Farm Stand Cabin is located on the right (north side). You will need to head down the pathway and continue around to the front of the building and enter the cabin off the front deck.
Friendly reminder, things are still a little rough around the edges. Please bare with us as we refurbish and get our little stand in shape!
|
We love feedback! These Farm Stand Days are our opportunity to try new things and see how they are received and enjoyed (or not) by our community. Please feel free to reach out and let us know what you think of any of the products we have on offer.
|
Payment is through the honour system. We will have a cash box on the table. If you do not have cash you can e-transfer to emshaking@gmail.com. All proceeds from our sales go back into the farm.
