We love our local producers!!! We are so fortunate to have such abundance on this magnificient island. This morning we served cheeses from Hilary’s in the Cowichan Valley. We also use splet flour and red fife flours from True Grains bakery (right next door to Hilary’s) in our daily scones, muffins and breads that we serve at the Island Estuary Bed and Breakfast. We can also get kiwis – I know…. I could hardly believe it too!! But it is true!! They grow right here and are wonderful!! Strawberries, blackberries, raspberries,figs, apricots… it’s all here. Oh yes… I forgot to mention, the pottery dish holding this yummy fruit salad is from Mary Fox – an accomplished Ladysmith Potter. She has an amazing pottery sale in November each year where you can get deals like you wouldn’t believe. I bought a series of these mixing bowls that fit inside each other for $80.00 – it was a steal!! And when you are visiting Mary’s studio, drop by my other favourite, Jo-Vic Pottery Studio. His mugs make me very happy!! We will serve you the best locally roasted coffee from these fun mugs during your stay with us. Hope to see you soon.
