We've got the gift of kale in your box for YOU this week!

Hug a carrot.
Thursday is International Carrot Day, a worldwide party for our often taken-for-granted, steadfast orange friend. From their start in Afghanistan in 900 A.D., carrots have been full of vitamin C and K, zinc, phosphorous, calcium and of course, beta carrot-ene! Eat a carrot from your farm share--your heart, liver, kidneys, immune system, bones, skin, and eyes will all thank you!
Look for CARROTS in the fall-apart vegetable beef soup recipe below!
What are we doing here???
Ever wonder what in the world we are all doing?
Well, here are some things we KNOW about ALL of us in the foodshed:
1. We want to get good, FRESH food into our homes.
2. We want to support local farmers who grow good, FRESH food.
3. We want to make and eat good, FRESH food! (Or get meals delivered from one of our featured chefs, many of whom prepare meals right in our own Woodward Kitchen!)
At least there are some things in life that can stay simple!
Consider swiss cheese crisps this week from our featured vendor, Bunker Hill Cheese.

What's a parsnip?
It's the root vegetable friend you never knew you needed, the soup companion and roasting buddy who won't let you down.
It may be a pale, nuttier cousin of the carrot but packs a punch with magnesium, calcium, and vitamin C and is surprisingly high in fiber and protein to keep blood sugar steady. More on parsnips here.

DELI SLICED HAM AND TURKEY NOW YOURS AT YB!
Growing up on lunch meat sandwiches, it has been a real bummer not being able to eat them the last 10 years. No one that we knew was using intentionally sourced, pasture raised animals to create a sliced ham or sliced turkey product.
Enter The Butcher and Grocer, the butcher who knows quality meat (On Insta).
They were able to take our trusted pasture raised turkeys and pigs and give us these wonderful products that take us back to the days of our youth when mom would slap a couple pieces of ham or turkey on some bread, smother in mayo, and then send it at room temperature in a brown bag with us to school.
Needless to say, this is that experience, ELEVATED about 10 notches.
HAM HERE
TURKEY HERE
MORE TURKEY CHEF MEAGAN STYLE
PRODUCE FROM YOUR BOX AT A GLANCE:
watercress
orange carrots
Shiitake mushrooms
grapefruits
Evercrisp apples
yellow storage onions
AND...
PURPLE SUN POTATOES.
See Grilled purple potato salad recipe below!
Purple suns are high in vit C and carotenoids, and NYT describes them as having a "full earthy flavor that hints of hazelnuts."
