Week #20 We finally reached the beginning of the flow of FRESH, SPRING, OHIO food.   Remember, not EVERYONE will get all of this YET as we are just getting started...but also remember, we will be rolling these goods out from here on out so just stay involved and you will ALL get yummies in your tummies.    Here is what is coming out of the ground. Asparagus Strawberries Slicer Tomatoes Swiss Chard Curly Kale Lacinato Kale Lettuce Green Onions Collard Greens   This should begin to awaken your pallet to the fresh flavors of the season! PS - You can also add these to your order anytime you want to make sure you get some    IMPORTANT ANNOUNCEMENT TIME:   For the month of June we will be doing a DOUBLE Referral bonus...should we call it the “Double Birdy”?!   Meaning...each person that signs up for a YB order, and puts your name down as their reference, BOTH OF YOU WILL GET $20 added to your accounts...NO LIMIT!!   Let me suggest a line to use on your friends and neighbors…”Try the YB for a week...it’s only $25 for the awesomest produce you can find from OHIO growers...like literally, we know the actual growers and our money goes straight to them.  It’s like going to the farmer’s market only you don’t even have to leave your house (if you don’t want to).  We will both get a FREE week of deliveries (basically), and then after that you can quit if you want.”     **See “Puppy Dog Close Sales Technique”     You are going to start to hear stories and headlines around the shortage of food that we have coming this year.  I have already seen multiple restaurants putting out notices that they do not have chicken wings, and there are surely more to follow...and we know what happens when supply goes down...$$ go UP! Remember when you hear these things that this is everything that we have been saying for years and that there is no need to worry.  We are NOT part of the commodities market that treats food and animals like they are factories.  Keep your head on straight and keep buying and eating with conviction.   Memorial Day Meat Bundles...add your favorite playlist and cold beverage and your weekend is taken care of!   *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.
