Week #29 Hey folks! Benji is driving a route today, so the newsletter is brought to you by me (Erin). If you've ever reached out to Yellowbird- 99.99% chance it was me on the receiving end of that message- so HI! We're SO grateful for your continual support, and hope you're loving the start of summer veggies: Blueberries, Plums, and Blackberries- DOES IT GET BETTER THAN THAT? (If you don't get enough of a berry fix in your share you can always order them here!)   BLUEBERRIES PLUMS BLACKBERRIES ALSO, we've added a cool feature on our site- a weekly recipe page (updated every Thursday) that will feature a recipe and all of the Yellowbird Goodies you'll need to make it. Last week we featured Spicy Fish Tacos, and stay tuned for this week's recipe we'll release tomorrow!  And lastly, we're updating the store with new cool products every day so be sure to check out our new stock on our featured tab. CHECK OUT THE COOLNESS:   Enjoy these summer days, hold your loved ones close, and make a lot of food that doesn't need to be cooked in a hot oven! <3 Erin *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. Arugula Chef's Harvest LLC Blackberries Rhoads Farm Inc.
