Box #9

*|MC_PREVIEW_TEXT|*

Week #9 After being sick in bed for a week, this week's box looks so important in terms of the nutrients we need in our house to get on the mend. Anymore, the oranges and apples don’t even make it to the weekend.  That’s just an easy lunch for the kids along with some chicken broth and cut-up carrots. The onions and garlic go in absolutely everything, (even if they don’t belong) as they have so many healing properties…if you ask my wife, garlic could literally save the world..AND HAS! We are eating so many soups that the spinach and Asian greens disappear into that abyss…if they do happen to make it until midweek they are no doubt landing in a batch of stir fry. After that, it’s just a matter of how many sheet pans of root veggies can we possibly prep?  Notice I said “prep” and not “consume”?  The reason being, we can consume them faster than we can prep them so it’s really just a matter of time…who has any in our house?? If you do, you better get over to that cutting board and start cubing! Folks, I am convinced by everything I see around me that we are in the right place at the right time.  Our foodshed is secure, our flavors are bumping, and our health is more robust than it has ever been.   That doesn’t happen by accident. It happens because #wearethefoodshed What's cool this week?!  All your St. Paddy's Day needs!     North Country Berkshire Mardi Gras Andouille (Links) Spinach Wraps Saint Patty's Cumberland Sausage Potatoes Sauerkraut   *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.
