Jesse H. Jones Park & Nature Center: Get Back to the Area’s Roots

March 24, 2015 by

The Jesse H. Jones Park & Nature Center is a 300-acre nature preserve that offers area residents a place to enjoy nature — free of charge. The diverse landscapes throughout the spacious park include white sand beaches that border Spring Creek, wet swamps, and a hardwood forest, and there are more than 6 miles of wheelchair-accessible pedestrian trails that wind through each unique area.

The Jesse H. Jones Park is unique because of historic areas like the Redbud Hill Homestead, a recreation of a 1920s-area log cabin and homestead, and the Akokisa Indian village, a recreation of a local tribe’s village from the colonization era. Nature lovers will enjoy observing the different plant and animal species that call the park home, and if you want to learn more, there's a nature center on site that hosts many displays and mounted specimens of native plants and wildlife.

Throughout the year, you’ll also find annual festivals, nature camps, and clubs held throughout the preserve.

Between the Oaks Farm: Growing Local, Organic Produce for Your Family

October 28, 2014 by

Between the Oaks Farm believes that food is at the center of family and community life, and this local farm strives to provide the healthiest and most sustainable farm-fresh produce possible to Kingwood area residents.

Between the Oaks works according to the model of community supported agriculture and encourages customers to buy a membership in the farm. Essentially, your membership entitles you to a share of the farm's weekly harvest, which you can pick up at the farm itself or have delivered directly to your front door. Each week you'll get a box full of whatever crops are currently at their peak, which means the produce you receive will rotate as each crop comes into season. Enjoy lots of lettuces and crisp greens in the cool spring, tomatoes and corn during the hottest summer months, and then root vegetables, pumpkins, and other winter squashes as the weather cools down.
