Box #23

*|MC_PREVIEW_TEXT|*

Week #23 Yes, folks, we have come to the end of the line on roots.  You have been patient and we thank you for that as we obviously committed ourselves many months ago to many pounds of the sacred roots. There are still carrots this week that have some blemishes but we are sending them anyways so that you can use them as you see fit.  They are NOT factored into the cost of the box so essentially they are just a freebie that we would rather give to you than throw away and waste. Each week now we are seeing new stuff pouring in to get excited about...this week some of you will receive rhubarb, bunching broccoli, lemon balm, and chocolate mint. We ran through an entire crop of strawberries from one producer and then another producer's strawberries came on so we are still sending those out...the clamshell they come in is COMPOSTABLE! Thanks for all the birthday love you extended this week, Benji (I still love writing the newsletter) **Reminder...Our New Albany Parking Lot (Friday) is UNAVAILABLE this week so we will NOT be parking there THIS WEEK ONLY.  We have made arrangement with almost all of our regular New Albany customer for alternative pickups but just FYI!   NEWS AND NOTES:   -June is “Double Birdy” month...have you ever wanted to give someone the double birdy?!?  Us too!!  For the month of June, anyone that signs up and lists you as a referral, you BOTH get double the reward!!  $20 credit EACH to your accounts.     -Our Delivery Area has expanded!  Friends and Family that live in Newark, Heath, Pataskala, Pickerington, Marysville, Marengo, or West Jefferson??  Get them on the YB train! #SPOILER...WE HAVE SOME VERY EXCITING NEWS COMING YOUR WAY IN THE NEXT COUPLE OF DAYS AND WEEKS!!    *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.
