Leafy greens come in all different shades, textures, and flavors, but they are all packed with vitamins, minerals, and fiber to keep us strong and healthy.
It can be intimidating for both kids and adults to try a new vegetable, but The Complete Guide to Leafy Greens shown below will help you feel confident as you cook and eat new organic leafy greens!

It’s extremely difficult to grow organic melons in New England, so the fact that this week’s Dogma Box customers will enjoy fresh organic cantaloupe from Picadilly Farm is a rare treat!

It just doesn’t feel like summer without a nice array of fragrant tomatoes on your kitchen counter, and this week many members of the Boston Organics Community will find a pint of beautiful grape tomatoes from Lakeside Organics in their weekly box!
These bite-sized tomatoes are a real treat, not only because they’re certified organic and locally grown, but because it’s been a particularly tough year for organic tomato farmers in New England. Late blight, a devastating fungal disease, has destroyed thousands of organic tomato plants in Massachusetts alone – making organic tomatoes more expensive and difficult to find.
This week’s newsletter explores the effect that late blight has had on the local organic tomato crop and explains what organic farmers are doing to contain it.
