We’re delivering a zesty box full of yummy summer foods! As colorful a mix as it is nutritious, this week’s box balances savory and sweet with fresh blueberries, corn on the cob and broccoli crowns. Atlas Farm has uncured Spanish onions for us this week. These onions need to be refrigerated since they are not […]

What makes an orange orange? Well, technically the English word for the color wasn’t recorded until several centuries after the fruit appeared in Europe, so orange is the color of the fruit and not the other way around. An orange (the fruit) is a hybrid between a pomelo and a grapefruit. The first oranges were, […]

I am really excited about the Dogma box. I wish I could take credit for the name and the concept, but I learned that another “box” company in Denmark has been offering one for years… I think the Dogma box will help serve as a reality check for the current state of the local food […]

When life hands you lemons… It’s a pretty good day, actually. We are talking about Meyer lemons. The gorgeous and sweet-tart citrus that can’t help but bring a smile to your face. Little globes of sunshine, Meyer lemons are actually a cross between a standard lemon (Eureka or Lisbon) and a mandarin orange. The Meyer […]

The organic Maine wild blueberries from Burke Hill Farm are finally in! But maybe only for this week. Maine wild blueberries are the best kind of blueberries and one of the true highlights of summer in New England. They’re not like the ones you find at the supermarket.
