Shift Natural Fashion in Fernwood is Closing
It was with a heavy heart, that I made the call to close our sweet little shop in Victoria's Fernwood neighbourhood. Shift Natural Fashion began 2 1/2 years ago as a sister to the sustainable fashions we carry in Hemp and Company. Shift on Johnson Street has found its niche as an "animal friendly - vegan" shop carrying eco-clothing for a younger demographic. 2005/06 were expansive years, as I opened H&C in VicWest and Shift2 in Fernwood. Alas, our cute wee space is too wee and sales never generated enough income to pay the variables of a small retail outlet.
The good news is....we are utilizing the space to bring terrifc bargains to you in the next two weeks. We have centralized our sale items: "new stock at Thrift Store prices" in the Shift store in Fernwood Square on Gladstone Avenue, beside the Belfry Theatre. So come down, enjoy the bargains, and ease my heavy heart a little bit!
Bil Finley, owner H&C and Shift Natural Fashion.

In The News
Farmers sue DEA for right to grow industrial hemp
(CNN) -- The feds call industrial hemp a controlled substance -- the same as pot, heroin, LSD -- but advocates say a sober analysis reveals a harmless, renewable cash crop with thousands of applications that are good for the environment.
Government: Hemp lawsuit arguments are weak
(The Associated Press) BISMARCK — Arguments by two North Dakota farmers who say they have a right to grow industrial hemp cannot change “unambiguous” federal law prohibiting commercial cultivation of the plant, Justice Department lawyers say.
Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger vetoed AB 684, The California Industrial Hemp Farming Act, yesterday evening, rejecting the will of the vast majority of Californians who supported the legislation.
NDSU Files Amicus in Support of Hemp Farming Lawsuit
North Dakota State University (NDSU), a publicly funded land grant university has taken the unprecedented step of submitting an amicus brief in support of two North Dakota farmers, Rep. Dave Monson and Wayne Hague, who filed a lawsuit in June to end the U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration's (DEA) ban on state-regulated commercial hemp farming in the United States.
