Week #26 Blueberries, Sweet Cherries, Summer Squash. Does it get much better than that?! Last week we went blueberry picking, and it just reminded me yet again how awesome it is that together we have built this foodshed. Where we can support our friends and neighbors in doing what they love (growing food!) all while getting the best, freshest, and most nutritious food on the planet. HAPPY START OF SUMMER! Ps. We got our first egg from our flock this week!!!!! 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. NEW!
