How the summer flies

But June is for blueberries

Smoky, dusty blue 

​

What do Yellowbird and blueberries have in common? =Your farm share!

​

Exploding with that sweet but subtle flavor, and sporting that dusted-on-like-chalk-pastel, perfect, purplish color, these are blueberries you won't want to miss! 

*Your super secret blueberry recipe found only here:

Preheat oven to 350.

Open your farm share.

Eat one blueberry, then another.

Repeat until gone.

Turn off the oven.

Wish you had ordered two farm shares.

When garlic is green

Don't be so blue

Peel and slice it up

And put it in risott...oo?

It's super good for you

Oh well. It doesn't have to rhyme to be yummy.

These stalks are harvested before the garlic bulbs form. Peel any outer layers off and slice into circles until the leaves get tough.

Radishes are back

French breakfast crunch comes alive 

Week 14 clockwork

Last year French breakfast radishes made their appearance this very week! Enjoy them raw in salads, chunked in soup, or even sliced thin and sauteed in coconut oil. It's the time of year you can get away with soup OR salad...if it's too cold or warm outside, just wait a minute.

Ancient Wisdom from Benji (from 2021)

Let's start with something we are getting this week from Bradwood Farm up by Ashland, OH. They have been a longstanding partner of the Yellowbird and each week they pull their delivery van in on Tuesdays at about 2 pm...they are always excited to show us the plants they have grown for you and this week is no exception. 

Dandelion Greens

"Dandelion's name comes from a Latin word meaning 'tooth of a lion,' and was given to describe the plants jagged long leaves."

"The young leaves of the plant lend a hint of bitterness to a green salad...as the warm season progresses the more bitter the foliage becomes, making it more suitable for wilting or using in soups or stews."

"The dandelion has always been prized for its medicinal use. It is used as a mild laxative, a diuretic and to aid digestion (including supporting the liver), and is very high in vitamins A and C, and high in iron and calcium."

REMEMBER: As whole food, plant-forward eaters, we are literally taking our medicine each day depending on what we decide to eat. Your choices for this spring are either connecting you to yourself and to the earth and to healing, OR they are moving you away from that connectivity.

Since this email is going to only those of you that have already chosen to stay CONNECTED to the earth through real, local food, I am preaching to the choir, I know. 

Just keep at it. I know that sometimes our food choices can feel like they are repetitive or bland (especially in the winter), but the earth is giving us EXACTLY what we need at the right time. Keep treating yourself well as winter turns to spring and I promise you that asparagus and strawberries will be back around soon!  (Just this week we got a request for more variety in the mini box, which is coming--this can also be solved by moving up a size, or ordering a flexi box available Thursdays through the Sunday night deadline). 

AND we've got your Easter Essentials ready! 

Bauman Orchards' Granny Smith

=not your average Granny

We've got your Easter Essentials ready! You're one click away from real food delivered to you from local farms and businesses committed to clean eating. It doesn't get any easier than this!

my potato is purple

=antioxidants

Yes, purple suns' royal shade comes from anthocyanins--disease-fighting antioxidants. These potatoes are also loaded with fiber, vitamin C, and potassium that help fight inflammation and slash risk of heart disease. Purple on the outside, crisp and golden on the inside. You've got something special in your box this week!

I'm strong to the finich

'cause I eats me spinach

Crisp, lovely spinach...GO GREEN. 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.
