Week #16 This is the time of year I get really excited for - the start of Spring! Spring had always been my least favorite season growing up (so. much. rain.), but now that I really understand the fresh food cycle I realize those cool temps and rainy mornings are what marks the start of an incredible year of food. Ps. Here is our new puppy who has filled our hearts but deprived our sleep so this is the shortest newsletter ever. She enjoyed some farm fresh kale yesterday and hopes you do, too! Happy Wednesday! Erin What's cool this week?!  Organic Nut Milk Bags! Works great for OAT milk and CASHEW milk   *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.
