2009 has been a great year for local food. At Boston Organics, we were able to more than double our direct purchasing of Massachusetts’ and regionally grown organic produce. We were able to do this primarily through pro-actively working with select farms. Because of your support we were able to accurately place and in some cases pre-pay for many of this past season’s crops as early as last winter. Many growers have taken notice and recognize Boston Organics to be a meaningful and reliable business partner. We expect to offer even more local and regional fruits and veggies in 2010. Ultimately, it is your underlying support that makes this all possible. We sincerely thank you for helping make 2009 a successful year. We look forward to serving you in 2010!
