Hi everybody,

Well, it’s Fall again, after a long, hot summer!

Just the time to stock up on the wonderful vegetables, poultry and meats available locally on the amazing Saanich Peninsula. I love Fall, especially since I get to harvest all the wonderful fruits and vegetables in our own garden here on McTavish Road.

We have two classes on offer next week, and one class that is now fully booked.
