So we have moved to Qualicum Beach and are thinking of reopening here. Let me know what you think. Will have fresh farmed produce here come late June. Also from local farms for what we don’t grow ourselves. Can beat picked to plate in 24 hrs.

As some of you know and some of you don't, we are not delivering this season. Sherry and I both have full time jobs in the greenhouse world and we both received promotions this year that is taking up more of our time. We love what we were doing with Fresh 2u but our main jobs pay the bills. We have not given up on this but we did not feel that we would have enough time to do it properly this year so instead of disappointing our customers we chose to just take a break. Thanks to all that have given us a chance and for all the support. Derek and Sherry and Kyle.
