Week #13 RAMPS!!!   They aren’t quite scallions, they aren’t quite garlic, and they aren’t quite leeks.   BUT, they are a little of all of those things.   They grow wild in the woods and they have one or two flat, broad leaves.   Ramps are only in season for about a month (sometimes less), and both the leaves and the bulbs are edible.   Leaves and bulbs can be diced and used the same as onions, leeks, chives, and garlic.  They pair well with pasta, eggs, mushrooms, stir fry.     They also are commonly used to make compound butter or pesto.     Some of the boxes will get a pint of sweet corn this week from last year's harvest.  It will be packed frozen but by the time it gets to you, it will be thawed some...NO BIG DEAL.  You can put it right in your fridge and use it over the next week however you want.  It can be added to anything or just warm up and eat as a side dish.       Last week we did our Q1 Shareholders meeting via Zoom.     As promised, here is the recording.  We talk about how we handled the pandemic year, how we are “pivoting” in the moment, and also updates on what is coming next!   We are adding more YouTube videos every week so please subscribe and turn on notifications.     Sneak Peek at what’s to come…@ohio.carrie.cooks is coming next week to cook with us and we are going to begin to create a series of videos that will give us all some skills to make all of our food creations NEXT LEVEL!    *A foodshed is the geographic region that produces the food for a particular population. 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.
