Local Food Businesses Offering Delivery in Colorado County (4)

Alcove Farms sells pasture-raised eggs and pasture-raised poultry. They offer "great eggs". You will "love that they’re a local business". They are located in north Lubbock, Texas on a 160-acre farm between Alcove & 4th Street. They are the first farm to adopt the method of a regenerative farming technique called mob grazing. “Cows, God’s natural mowers, go first and eat the grass. Following behind are the chickens, God’s natural tillers that forage on the ground and till the land as they scratch. You follow behind the chickens with water and sunlight, and this process creates the richest soil over time. Then, you do it all over again until you have restored the land from dry and dusty, to fertile.”   

Born out of desire to rediscover the lost American resources of yaupon tea and under-served Texans, Cat Spring Tea sustainably harvests “Yaupon”, the only caffeinated plant native to America, while creating second chance employment opportunities. Although enjoyed for centuries by Native Americans and a powerful source of jitter free energy and antioxidants, the use of the tea plant has been forgotten. With harvesting, processing, and packaging all done by hand, the yaupon tea making process requires a large amount of skilled and unskilled labor. Cat Spring Tea creates second chance employment job positions, amplifying the message that, although overlooked, our people and our product have great value. Cat Spring Tea collaborates with Texas organizations that offer support for individuals fighting poverty, previous incarcerations, addictions, disability, and other personal obstacles.

Their "wines are truly unique and each as wonderful as the next". The "2016 Viognier" is "semi-sweet with honey and apricot notes and a touch of effervescence". When you taste the "Chocolate Duck", it is "like drinking a chocolate-covered cherry" and the "aroma is so enticing, like that chocolate cherry, with a bit of muskiness added". These two are just some of the "unique wines" that you can enjoy tasting when you visit this place. They also have "a couple of food platters to go with the wine". You will truly enjoy visiting because "on scheduled Saturday afternoons there is live music and one can sit out on the porch and enjoy the music, wine, and scenery".
