Week #23 Friends, Folks, and Fam, This is our time. We are looking at fields full of plants that you and I will be eating over the next 6 months. Peppers both sweet and hot, Eggplant, Blueberries, Okra, Greens, Onions, B-Sprouts, Taters and Maters, Sweet Corn, Melons and many more. I hope that you are enjoying your experience each week eating what we have put in the ground together. I used to say all the time, “This is your company!” Let me reiterate that statement.  We exist to serve YOU.   We want to bring you what you want, when and how you want it.   We are constantly adjusting our methods to better serve you, OUR FOODSHED. What can we do better? What are we doing right? What are we missing? Please continue to inform us on how we can create a company for you unlike any other in existence. #wearethefoodshed #whogrewyourfood #yellowbirdfoodshed *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. LOCAL FOOD!
