The last time we had apple cider I said it was the last time...I lied, we actually had 1 more time scheduled.
I actually drink it more this time of year than any other time because I think I need the fruit more in the dead of winter or something…(that sounds like it could be true, so let’s go with that).
Also, please remember that you are eating your medicine each week...ESPECIALLY this time of year. Your immunities, your defense system, your sense of humor (that can’t be true) are all influenced by the food you are fueling yourselves with.
This was on my favorite doctor’s Instagram stories this morning…
 
Did he see the list of ingredients in our boxes in the last couple of weeks? Because if he had, I would think that he is trying to copy what the Yellowbird Members are already doing and I won’t have it...get your own medicine doc.
News and Notes:
I have begun to send out a “Vendor Spotlight” email each week highlighting new products and the people they came from. This is also to serve as a reminder to get your store orders in by midnight on Sunday each week.
Just for reading this newsletter, use the coupon code “NEWSLETTER” when you put in your next order of $50 or more, and get $5 OFF your total!!
(YES, your weekly box counts towards the $50)
Finally, we are starting to plan for our 2020 routes. Lots of fun stuff coming as always and don’t forget that each season has some “freebie” piece of merchandise that could be coming in any box!

Bosc Pears
Storage:
If the pears are not ripe, store at room temperature in a single layer until they darken in color. Once they are ripe, store in the refrigerator where they can actually last for a few weeks. Again, if you want to speed up the ripening, put them in a paper bag with a ripe banana or apple.

Microgreens
Storage:
Keep microgreens between damp paper towels, and make sure they are cold and covered in a container. Wrapped this way, they'll last in the fridge for about a week. Keep greens covered right up until they hit the plate—this will ensure that they don't wilt or dry out during service.
Recipes: Microgreens are often used in Wraps, Sushi, Stirfry's, Soups, and Spring Rolls. Although fragile, microgreens are versatile and flavorful and can compliment any dish

Spinach
Storage:
Store fresh spinach in a clean container wrapped with paper towels. Place it in the refrigerator in the crisp drawer to save the greens for up to ten days. Containers will protect the greens from being moved around or crushed like they would in bags. Paper towels absorb the moisture, and keep your spinach fresh.
