Around The Cracker Barrel - Life, Music & Community at La Posada with Cindy Barbee and Holly Doyle (Aired 09/25/2026)

This week on Around the Cracker Barrel, host Guy Atchley welcomes Cindy Barbee, Director of Marketing for La Posada at Green Valley, and Holly Doyle, Manager of Posada Java, for a conversation about the people, activities and sense of community that make La Posada a special part of Green Valley. Holly shares how Posada Java has become much more than a coffee shop. Open to residents and the public, it’s a gathering place for friends, community groups, cyclists and visitors, while also hosting live music, local artwork and special events. The conversation looks ahead to upcoming activities including Coffee with a Cop, live music performances, appearances by the Continental School Jazz Band, and a December holiday market and concert series. Cindy also talks about life at La Posada, where more than 700 residents enjoy an active lifestyle, security, amenities and the beauty of the nearby Santa Rita Mountains. She discusses the community’s nonprofit structure, strong resident involvement and plans for a new Creative Arts and Cultural Center, which is being supported through a resident-funded capital campaign. The discussion also highlights the Vensel Treasure Shop, volunteer opportunities, local artists and the services La Posada provides to make moving into the community easier—including a settling-in team that can help residents right-size their belongings, unpack and even have their bed ready for their first night in their new home. It’s a warm look at La Posada at Green Valley—not simply as a place to live, but as a community filled with activities, friendships, music and opportunities to stay connected.
