Jordan Stone, the owner and founder of Delaney's located in Old Town Temecula, sold raffle tickets for $5 each through this past week. The drawing was held Saturday, June 4th at 5:00 p.m. One lucky person would be the winner of a 3-month basket/ CSA membership receiving grass-fed meat and organic vegetable produce among other items.
In case you don't know, CSA stands for Community Supported Agriculture. From the Local Harvest site it is defined as: "a popular way for consumers to buy local, seasonal food directly from a farmer. Here are the basics: a farmer offers a certain number of "shares" to the public. Typically the share consists of a box of vegetables, but other farm products may be included. Interested consumers purchase a share (aka a "membership" or a "subscription") and in return receive a box (bag, basket) of seasonal produce each week throughout the farming season."
The winner of this fantastic raffle was Kelly Green. Although I don't know her personally, I wish her well and as a matter of fact, she will be well with the freshest produce and beef around.
