Box #51

*|MC_PREVIEW_TEXT|*

Week #51 I have had a blast this year on the theme of Christmas Oranges. I always think of the first scene in the book Little Women when they are gearing up for Christmas morning and the gifts are so simple and practical.  Every little detail makes a difference and even though they have a scarce supply of resources, they are able to make the day festive and meaningful for everyone. Isn’t it such a blessing to be able to receive this food with gratitude?  Knowing where it came from.  Knowing the families and the hands that worked to provide it.  Tasting it with these thoughts in mind always adds to the richness of the flavor and nutrients.   We truly hope that this season brings you joy and peace at a time when it seems like those resources are scarce.  May you find joy even in the midst of sorrow, and may you find peace even in the midst of chaos.  You are loved and cherished.  You are whole. Enjoy the box this week and just know that the last item we put in it each week is our love.

The term is used to describe a region of food flows, from the area where it is produced, to the place where it is consumed, including: the land it grows on, the route it travels, the markets it passes through, and the tables it ends up on. "Foodshed" is described as a "socio-geographic space: human activity embedded in the natural integument of a particular place."[1] A foodshed is analogous to a watershed in that foodsheds outline the flow of food feeding a particular population, whereas watersheds outline the flow of water draining to a particular location. Through drawing from the conceptual ideas of the watershed, foodsheds are perceived as hybrid social and natural constructs.
