onions are red

and spicy too

take one from your box 

and put it in stew

Peppery, crisp red onions...a diversity of colors is great for your microbiome health and feeds a variety of beneficial bacteria in the gut!

We deliver this week with red onions, purple or red daikon, rainbow carrots, green hydro lettuce, yellow lemons, red Fujis, and more microbe-feeding fruits and veggies! Count up colors as you menu plan--aim for at least 20 different shades of whole foods each week, if not twice that (red rice and purple potatoes count). 

Check out our new producer, Hei Hei Kitchen. Their kimchi is phenomenal--the perfect amount of spice lingers after each satisfyingly crunchy bite.

Chef Meagan is back this week! Order up here.

"Sometimes I open my

mouth and the truth,

it just comes out!"

-Lemon Breeland, Hart of Dixie

To tell you the truth, these lemons are the purtiest thing since springtime. More truth: you'll love them in your box! Organic, juicy and as sweet as a lemon can get, without sacrificing the sour. Pucker up and share one with your sweetheart!

Real food = real love. 

open your farm share

don't be afraid to stare

at your navel orange

Thanks to Sam Putt's citrus grove, you've got a taste of summer to sweeten your winter. And some vitamin C to boot! We make it easy to find your citrus groove, even with snow on the ground. 

The small print: Contrast these amazing tree-ripened navel oranges grown in the Putt family's orange grove with fruit that is gassed or dyed to ripen or show color--you won't believe the difference! 

Make a customized flexi box for your sweetie! (Available at yellowbirdfs.com EVERY Thursday through Sunday--just add to your cart, customize, and be sure to hit save.) Remember...order this week for delivery by Valentine's Day! 

Real food = real love. 

SAVE THE DATES, OR EAT THEM. 

Either way, you've got a taste of summer to sweeten your winter. It's your date with destiny.

Here's a dates snickers recipe for a healthy treat this Valentine's Day! And don't forget some chocolate for your sweetie!

Chef Meagan is back...check out her offerings here!

GARLIC 

TO WARD OFF:

-COLDS AND FLU

-UNWANTED ATTENTION

-VAMPIRES

(Use wisely!) 

You won't want to miss the power of garlic this winter--press a clove (or more) into your eggs, soups, and even sandwiches! Just give yourself some time to "air out" afterward. Even when keeping you at arm's length, everyone will be impressed by your good health!

Chef Meagan is back! She's got quiche, parmesan pasta, a grain bowl, oatmeal bake, sriracha buffalo chicken, Asian chicken noodle soup, and more--check out her offerings here and bon appetit!

PURPLE SUN WHEN YOU NEED IT MOST

(created with 40% of daily RDA of vitamin C per serving and more antioxidants than other varieties too)

When you cut into a purple potato from your farm share, you'll be surprised at the golden inside but happy to hear the "crunch" as you slice. My personal favorite potato, purple sun has great storing, mashing, roasting, and saute-ing capabilities. Well, you are the capable one in the kitchen--but it is the one making potato dinner possible, along with our fabulous growers, Yellowbirdies who packed the boxes, and drivers who deliver them! 

TURN UP THE BEET

(chiogga and gold beets in boxes this week)

Start out 2026 with a quiver in your liver! Folate, manganese, copper are all showcased in vibrant reds, oranges and even stripes. Shown to help:

-lower blood pressure

-reduce inflammation

-improve athletic performance, brain function and digestive health...

BEETS pack a powerful punch! That's why they're in your box--after they take the short truck ride from YB you need them in your belly.

The Evercrisp.

A superhero variety cultivated in Pataskala, Ohio by Lynd Fruit Farm, with an "in-your-face candied-apple sweetness" and "a background tang and monstrous crunch" (Bloomberg panel of taste testers). This cross of Fuji's tartness and Honeycrisp's sweetness boasts longer storage life and improved texture than either "parent" variety.​

Enjoy this "localest of local" apples, developed right here in Licking County and grown by Bauman Orchards, in your YB share this week! And in this classic, simple apple crisp.
