Our food arrived

The Avalon Acres truck pulled up to Oak Street Sunday morning to deliver the first boxes of fresh food to more than a dozen Kingston Springs families who signed up for the CSA.

In the minutes prior to the delivery, a small group of us -- mostly strangers or new acquaintances -- chatted on the porch about everything from fresh food to creeks to commuting.

It was a delightful way to start a morning.

Inside my family's box was a whole roaster chicken, beets, squash, cucumbers, broccoli, tomatoes, cabbage and dill. Just beautiful.

If you'd like to know more, contact Avalon Acres, or drop us a note here.

Avalon Acres to bring CSA foods to Kingston Springs

Looks like we got enough residents to sign up for the Avalon Acres CSA. More than a dozen people attended the informational meeting Monday, and many others sent word they were interested.

The farm is expected to deliver food to new CSA members between 10:30 a.m. and 11 a.m. this Sunday, June 8. Pick-up will be at The Ark building downtown.

There still is time to register so contact Avalon Acres for application and pricing.

A big thanks to the volunteers who made this happen.
