There’s a storm a-coming and it sounds like a bad one!

B.C. Ferries have decided to cancel the last 2 sailings this evening! The 7:50 leaving Fulford has officially been canceled due to weather, as well at the 9:00pm leaving Swartz Bay to Fulford.

The worst place to be ahead of these storms is at one of our local grocery stores, especially on 10% Tuesday! It will be madness.

May we respectfully suggest avoiding the chaos and popping into Mercantile to re-up your supplies? We have everything you need from candles to chardonnay to make this inclement weather a little more fun than scary!

Stay tuned for updates and remember we have a generator so even when the power is out, we are here for YOU!

New product alert!

One of the hardest things to find (without making your own) is a nutritious, delicious dressing that isn’t full of things that are actually really bad for you.

Enter Naked And Saucy!

Delicious sauces and dressings filled with GOOD things like nutritional yeast and all organic ingredients with coconut aminos instead of traditional soy sauce so you can have all the flavour and only a fraction of the sodium.

There’s literally none of the words you can’t read, but instead all ingredients that you know and use in your own kitchen.

Try some with your dinner today!
