Chris here with this week’s update! Now those of you who who follow our newsletter may be disappointed in the change in writers, but Cinnamon is currently off taking a spelling and grammar course and will be back next week!

I want to remind you that our farm stand is open all day Wednesdays from 10:30 am to 6 pm right here at 9420 West Saanich Road. When you see that “open” sign turn into the driveway through the gates and park just to your left. One of us will be there to serve you. IF WE ARE NOT AT THE STAND, ONE OF US IS IN THE GARDEN SO RING THE BELL LOUDLY OR JUST WALK IN TO THE GARDEN AND HOLLER!

Our Wednesday markets are an ongoing series so we suggest you binge attend! And like all good series- we have a cameo appearance by Jen Rashleigh and her gorgeous floral arrangements tomorrow. In fact Jen’s arrangements will soon becaome a regular cast member both on Wednesdays and at our booth at the North Saanich Farm market on Saturday mornings. You will never get as gorgeous and long lasting a bouquet for only $12.00 anywhere else. And of course we will have our broad beans, shelling peas, zucchini, pattypan squash, fresh garlic, pre washed salad greens, arugula, radishes, eggs and a few other surprises. if you are gift shopping, how about an Anneth farm apron-(each one unique)?

Did we tell you how much we appreciate the pioneers who are using our online store? In fact you can use it today and pick up at the stand during our market tomorrow. This is especially helpful when ordering produce that is at its best when it is freshly picked- like the salad greens or arugula. That way we can pick just before you pick up. You know the drill - just go to https://anneth-farm.square.site/ to order ahead. Although Wednesday is our all day market, you can also order and get online pickups Monday to Thursday from 4 to 6 pm. Those of you who have done this will know that the closed sign is often out during those times and the gate is closed. That only means the market is closed but pick ups are still available. You just have to push a button inside the fence (on the left) to get in. (There is a sign). The gate will close by itself behind you and your produce will be in a paper bag with your name on it. And, as always, we will be a the North Saanich farm market Saturday morning. https://northsaanichfarmmarket.ca/

We look forward to seeing you tomorrow and thank you for buying local. Cinnamon will be back next week so watch this space! Baaaaaaa.
