Blueberries are back, and this week we’re getting them locally! Our good friend Read Miller of Dwight Miller Orchards in VT will be bringing us his delicious organic blueberries for the next few weeks! We will have these berries in Dogma Boxes and all fruit boxes, with pints available as add-ons.

We also have good news for all you garlic scape fanatics! After a week-long break in garlic scapes, our friends at Burke Hill Farm in Maine have enough for us to enjoy next week. Garlic scapes will be going out in boxes and available for you to add on to your order.

It’s such a joy to see more of our favorite items become available as we move further into summer. We hope you enjoy these seasonal treats!

The Dogma Box is always sourced as close to home as possible and this week’s is grown completely in-state. Now that we have reached the warm weather months in New England, there is chance for a variety of crops to grow. You can’t help but notice how vibrant the dogma box has become. It is amazing to think how close to Boston all of these tender vegetables are being grown.

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.
