June 19, 2020 Newsletter

We are still curbside/delivery-only and will remain so until it makes logistical sense to do otherwise.

Our E-Comm is the easiest way to order, but feel free to call or email if you need guidance or aren't a fan of online shopping.
Pay at the door walk-ups are ok too.

PLEASE WEAR A MASK

Happyish Friday!

In what has been a long slog of heavy news, this week offered two bright points of light, courtesy of SCOTUS, and for that we are thankful. We are also thankful that our little fundraiser last week has so far raised nearly $1,000 for Movement Ground Farm in Tiverton. In fact, we've decided to add another couple of items so they can get closer to fully funding their solidarity CSA shares for low income families, and we'll again donate 100% of the purchase prices to the farm. More on that below! But the wines could make for very nice Father's Day gifts...we also have lots of affordable gift ideas (give us a call or send an email if you'd like suggestions!), and we're still doing 10% donation to the farm on Anchor & Hope wines.

We were going to do a little Juneteenth write-up in this newsletter (we don't know about anyone else, but we didn't learn about Juneteenth, or Tuskegee, or Tulsa in school) but then Rhode Map showed up in our inbox and we figured we'd just link to that instead – it's so well done with so many RI-centric tidbits! Sign up for it if you haven't already! They in turn link to Stages of Freedom's Road Guide to African American Sites in RI...it's a really cool resource. Late, local artist Arnold Prince makes the list, and we happen to have one of his carved wooden ships in the shop, perhaps we should put it in our window again....Stages of Freedom also linked to this article on Juneteenth recipes. There's a whole lot of yum happening there, and we really, really need to make that red punch!

We forgot to mention last week that Fearless Fish has started up the Fish Share once more. Pick up is Wednesdays, 2-6pm. Sign up if you love fresh fish!
