Local lamb for sale

Debbie Trerice now has North Saanich ethically-raised lamb for sale.  It's being sold by the half (left or right) and has been cut, wrapped and frozen.  The cost is $4.00/lb. hung weight, which works out to about $6.00/lb. after cutting and wrapping.

Our Fourth Season of Fresh Food, Fun, Music and Community
