Box #33 Corn and Blackberries again…#sorrynotsorry These blackberries are the example of how each year is different.  The strawberries were a bust this year for a few different reasons but these blackberries just keep on giving so we are just going to let them...keep on giving. This video makes my heart swell with pride...my 12 year old son Acie composed this with 175 individual camera shots. **also hit subscribe when you are there as we are wanting to produce more YouTube content on our YB channel We just got in some ridiculously cool cutting boards and pizza peels...VERY LIMITED AMOUNT.  Maybe grab it now for a holiday gift later? We also got a replenishment of the frozen black bean burgers from Shagbark (both flavors)...and remember...these are a YBFS EXCLUSIVE...there is literally no one else on the planet selling them.   This week you will have A HOT PEPPER...actually, they are not that bad but didn’t want you to bite into it thinking it was sweet.  The Hungarian Hot Wax Pepper is the long, lime green looking thing and is a wonderful addition to your fresh salsa’s to add a little stank. Finally, for this week...last Monday we released this episode of our podcast where I interviewed Kendyl and Andy from Three Creeks Organic Produce on the south side of Columbus.  If you ever wonder what the lives of our growers are like, and the things that they have to deal with day in and day out, this is a great starting point.
