Summer Fruit Start-Up – from local Farms to your local McCaffrey’s

Summer fruit is making its way to our McCaffrey’s Produce Departments by the end of May. Our two big buzzwords in our Produce Department are “local” and “organic.” As a family-owned & operated, local, independent market, we’ve partnered with a number of area growers to supply our stores with fresh produce. We’re also delineating “What’s in Season” and “Peak Season.” Or, what should be the freshest, best tasting, sweetest, ripest, and most nutritious! Look for signs throughout our produce department!

Chicken & Biscuits, Bristol Riverside Theatre, May 16, 2023 – June 4, 2023
Rivaling sisters, Baneatta and Beverly, are burying their father—but it’s the non-stop family drama that might be the death of them. Beverly just wants to show the congregation what she’s been “blessed with.” Baneatta’s youngest son brings his very white, Jewish boyfriend who is maybe . . . sort of—okay definitely—afraid of Baneatta. Meanwhile, Beverly’s daughter couldn’t mind her own business if it was on a leash.
