Week #38 REAL Food. REAL Farms. REAL Simple. These 3 lines are on the top of our brochures.  It really does encapsulate what we are trying to do together.   In the podcast heavy world that we live in, we can now listen to the smartest doctors in the world, tell us over and over again what the keys to being healthy are. Good Sleep. Good Movement. Good Food. We can't make you go to bed earlier, but we sure can make eating your veggies easier! Enjoy THIS season...Enjoy THIS week.  How better to do that than to eat what the earth is giving us in THIS place at THIS time. Thanks for making us your choice for food, The Bird Sqad *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.
