Did you know you can get raw, affordable dog food delivered to Walnut Creek?

Okay, I have two secrets to tell you. First, this is a repeat of a blog I posted more than three years ago on this very same site. I know, I know, but it’s because I feel like this information needs to be recycled once in a while. A service this great needs to be showed off to my readers new and old!

Secret number two is the service itself! Creston Valley Meats is essentially a traveling butcher in that they come up to NorCal from the SLO area every couple of weeks with a white freezer van full of dog food deliveries, park in the Rudgear Park and Ride, and wait for clients to come to meet them!

Creston Valley offers raw diet options for dogs and humans (with a specialty in wild game!). They post real-time delivery updates on Twitter, and they’ll call or text you about 30 minutes before arrival. It’s a really smooth, awesome service, and Bodie LOVES his Creston Valley food!

I joke that it’s my canine drug deal, as they open the back of their van, say your name, and hand you a box in exchange for a check. It must look hilarious from an outsider’s perspective! For Bodie, I get a combo patty of chicken and banana or pork and anchovies. You can also get 20 buffalo bones for $10!

I just mix two patties with Honest Kitchen Base Mix and top it off with yogurt or cottage cheese (whole fat).  Yes, my dog eats better than me.

This last time when I went to pick up the food, I saw some very interesting “art” at Rudgear Park & Ride, some teenagers must have left behind. It’s beautiful, isn’t it? LOL!

Fringe brings freshness to WC floral scene

IMG_3819 (1)Fringe Flower Co. in Walnut Creek is not your typical flower shop. With their unique designs, highly-green approach and free delivery to the nearby Kaiser hospital, Sarah and Jeanne do everything differently.

They were two florists who met by chance, conquered a big wedding together, and then decided they wanted a brick and mortar location in the area.IMG_3818

Last year, they founded it and opened up Fringe next to George’s Giant Hamburgers. And now, they’re really in business.

Both Sarah and Jeanne are from the Bay Area and are committed to a holistic business. They source their florals from premium flowers and local IMG_3820growers. Additionally, they work with recycled containers, compost, and deliver leftover florals to community groups, among other philanthropic efforts.

If you ever need a floral arrangement for an event or a wedding, make sure to give them a call! Deliveries can be made online, over the phone or via walk-in, and Fringe specializes in weddings, events, and corporate accounts.

They are open Tuesday-Friday from 10 a.m. – 6 p.m. and on Saturday’s from 10 a.m. – 5 p.m.
