Can you eat it with a goat?
Can you eat it on a boat?

Paint Night at the Marina
We all had a great time at Paint Night and we made some awesome art. Thanks to Elaine at Spirits and Platters for showing us all how to paint ~ Steve
A Message from Molly's Acres
We are sad to announce that due to lack of general interest, we will no longer be doing a Pop Up Market at the Catchacoma Marina. Our last market will be Friday July 26th. We are however happy to let you know that all pre paid subscriptions and online orders will still be delivered to the Marina every Friday at 3pm until the Labour Day Weekend. Keep you eye out for the weekly availability email on Wednesdays. This email goes out to our subscribers. You can sign up on our website at www.mollysacres.ca.
Thank you!
Thank you!
