Boston Organics Blog | Fresh. Organic. Delivered. (97)

It is the last week of June. The warm weather and persistent rains have paid off. Look at this week’s luscious local box! Your boxes are filled with every shade of green. You’ll be happy eaters knowing how full of nutrients these tasty items are.

Fennel is a true gift of the season. This licorice-flavored bulb makes for elegant dishes. Slice it into thin strips or shred it with a mandolin for a more delicate bite. Try using fennel with tomatoes and seafood or put it in a cous cous salad. Use the long, vibrant fronds as garnish. If you have a yummy fennel recipe that you would like to share feel free to post it on our Facebook page or tweet it to us @BostonOrganics!

We recently celebrated our 10th anniversary with a big party here at our warehouse in Charlestown! Despite a rainy Saturday, we transformed the inside of our warehouse into a farmers market with hay bales, flowers, music, incredible food, and lots of smiling faces! It was such a pleasure to share this occasion with our customers, friends, family, farmers, and community members.
