At Yellowbird we usually have a Kalebration of some kind going on. Good food, good times.
But sometimes spring is also a good time to re-kalebrate and think about what's important. What are we putting in our bodies to help them reset? Let's get some greens going on.
We've got the gift of kale in your box for YOU this week!

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!

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.

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.
