Continued Reflections On East Palestine As It Relates To OUR Foodshed...
All tagged #whogrewyourfood
A few of our customers have reached out about the disaster in East Palestine. I agree that we should absolutely be concerned with how this affects our water, our land, the food grown on the land, and our animals.
Here is how I have been thinking about this so far…
Think about it...each bloom (flowers) is where the fruit (apple, peach, pear etc.) is going to grow. If those blooms come out and then freeze and are destroyed, no fruit at that spot. They do not regrow, so it can be devastating.

Why it Matters
As we pack boxes this week I think back to when we used to have to put kale, lettuce, and swiss chard in EVERY BOX, EVERY WEEK…
We have always made the growers and producers our #1 priority at the Yellowbird Foodshed. We have always known that in order for us to have food, these are the people that have to be taken care of.
No matter what you may hear on the national and world news, right here in Central Ohio we have NO food shortages because we are able to plan with our growers RIGHT NOW for the needs of our customers in 2023.
We built this company, NOT to get the consumers the best food for as CHEAP as possible, but to be a GROWER FIRST company, that builds a community of eaters around getting the growers the MOST money possible for the wonderful bounty they are bringing to our homes each and every week right here in Ohio.
The world is NOT getting MORE stable.
