NICE, Calif. – Featherbed Railroad Bed and Breakfast in Nice is the latest addition to the Lake County Community Co-op's growing distribution drop points in the county.

Tony and Peggy Barthel, owners of the Featherbed Railroad B&B in Nice, have offered their unique space and time to host the co-op's weekly CSA (community supported agriculture) boxes and individual item purchases from local organic producers every Thursday from 5 p.m. to 7 p.m.

Located at 2870 Lakeshore Blvd. in Nice, the drop point began July 29 at one of Lake County's most unique bed and breakfasts, nestled in a shaded lawn area on the shore of Clear Lake.

The Barthels were excited to host the site, supporting the co-op's vision for local food distribution.
