arrow community cookbook! hooray!

we are so pleased that our little community cookbook is here!

filled with over 80 recipes from arrow's friends and families from far and wide, the cookbook has ideas for family-friendly nibbles, meals, drinks, and sweet treats. (plus, we love the screenprinted cover that was printed by the new athens business, double dutch press.)

the cookbook is $24 and is for sale at arrow, and also the following local businesses: avid bookshop, farm 255, & treehouse. your purchase of a cookbook supports all of the creative programming at Arrow, your local not-for-profit community space for families!

thank you to all of those who contributed recipes to this project!
