"This magical, marvelous food on our plate, this sustenance we absorb, has a story to tell.
It has a journey. It leaves a footprint. It leaves a legacy. To eat with reckless abandon,
without conscience, without knowledge; folks, this ain't normal." ~ Joel Salatin

Featured Vendor / Producer:
Yellowbird Foodshed
|
The Yellowbird Foodshed partners with a network of local farmers to provide fresh, quality food that is grown with intention. Their goal is to support the region by creating a sustainable food system that is locally-based and provides access to good food. They believe that you should know where your food is coming from and want to provide a clear connection from farm to fork. In response to how difficult it has become for the small-scale farming operation
to compete in today's market and how difficult it has become for members of the area to have access to local food, they have created a marketplace that celebrates and values the tireless work of regional farmers and the quality of their product. They offer source-identified food from a network of regional farms to build a food system that supports the local farmer, the local community, and the local economy.
The Yellowbird Foodshed delivers direct access to local food in a real way. It began with the question of where our food was coming from and evolved into a very simple idea, give people a place to find good food that was raised from farms in the community. They want the community to understand there is a difference between food that is grown naturally and food that is grown with industrialized methods. The industrialized food system forgets the value of food and uses monocultures that prevent variety and harsh chemicals that destroy flavor. Good food is the result of hard work and careful consideration by small family farms who take great pride in their sustainable methods in order to provide food that residents of Ohio can value. The Yellowbird believes it is time we all start asking, "Who Grew your Food?" Yellowbird wants the community to connect through local food and celebrate it.
Yellowbird works with Harvest to connect with producers to bring Harvest's customers products that may not otherwise find their way to the store. Each of the local farms that are part of the Yellowbird Foodshed are focused on sustainability and use methods that encourage biodiversity without the use of harsh chemicals. They are also located within 90 minutes from Columbus, Ohio, many centrally located.

Duck eggs win hands-down, probably because proportionally they have much more yolk (where all the nutritional goodness is) and much less white. More micronutrients, more protein, and more Omega-3s.
A few of these nutrients are particularly notable because there aren't many sources of them aside from eggs:
-
Choline is incredibly important for liver health: there's some evidence that fatty liver disease is very closely connected with choline deficiency. Egg yolks are a staple dietary source of choline (if you don't eat organ meats, they're probably by far the biggest source of choline in your diet), and duck eggs simply have more.
-
Folate, or Vitamin B9, is especially important for mental health, pregnant women and nursing mothers. Eggs are a key source on Paleo because many other sources - like beans and lentils - are out. One duck egg has over twice as much folate as one chicken egg.
Duck eggs also have other benefits as well. The whites of duck eggs may have different proteins than the whites of chicken eggs, and some people can tolerate duck eggs even if they can't tolerate chicken eggs. So if you're struggling to find good breakfast options, check with a doctor to see whether duck eggs might be a better alternative for you than chicken.

Get out and explore what's happening around
Knox County
Listed on the National Register of Historic Places, the Woodward Opera House
is situated in the heart of Mount Vernon's Central Business District. This national landmark invites you to step back in time to the mid-1800s and experience history!
While viewing the Woodward, imagine what it must have been like to perform here.
Take in the 19th century architecture, admire the original paintings still hanging
on the walls, and if you listen closely and quietly, you may even hear a
fiddle or banjo picking out a familiar tune.
Harvest @ The Woodward
Harvest is pleased to announce that as part of our Local Foods Initiative that we will begin offering various classes to the public allowing you to learn more about your food and where it comes from. Some classes may focus on helping you grow / produce / cook your own food, while others will focus on educating you on how the food that you purchase is grown / produced and brought to harvest.
Classes can be paid for by cash, check or credit card unless otherwise specified.

|
If you want to guarantee your egg nog purchase, you need to contact the store (phone, email or in person) at least one week prior to when you want it. Deliveries for Hartzler Dairy are made to the store on Thursdays. Those customers who request a "hold" for egg nog will have product put aside for them and should ask for it. All other customer's purchases will be subject to availability. The egg nog season is short and fleeting - don't let it pass you by. If you've not tried Hartzler Family Dairy's egg nog, then you don't know what you're missing!
