We’re excited to announce that we are now offering Number 9 Stoneground Corn Tortilla Strips from Paino Organics in Concord, MA!

Number 9 tortilla strips have a rich, well-rounded flavor and a hearty crunch, and they can stand up to any thick and chunky salsa. Made from organic corn, sunflower oil or safflower oil, and sea salt, these tortilla strips are Certified Gluten-Free, Non-GMO, kosher, and contain no trans fats. To top it all off, they’re Boston Organics staff tested and approved for absolute deliciousness.

Paino Organics is an independently owned and operated family company based in Concord, Massachusetts. The company president, John Paino, started his career in the food business as co-founder and president of Nasoya, a company he helped grow into America’s #1 selling tofu. Since selling Nasoya, Paino has been on a mission to create healthy, great-tasting alternatives to familiar foods, such as tortilla chips and salsa.

Paino Organics’ guiding principle is that good food is one of the foundational pillars of health and well being, and we couldn’t agree more! We are proud to partner with a local family company like Paino Organics to bring you a healthier snack option.

Number 9 Stoneground Corn Tortilla Strips are now available as an add-on. You can order them here, and let us know what you think!

Happy snacking!

We have pea shoots from Jonathan’s Organic this week! We’re also excited to offer you local spinach from Dwight Miller Orchards in VT, and we still have blood oranges, honey tangerines, and Meyer lemons available. Check out this week’s newsletter!

Happy Spring!! We have Spring-dug parsnips and blue potatoes from Western Massachusetts for you this week. Check out more produce news and recipes in this week’s newsletter!

The Dogma Box contains produce that is organic and sourced as close to Boston as possible, and this week we have a nice mix of produce from Massachusetts and Vermont. We’re getting turnips and Diakon radishes from one of our key partners in local agriculture, Atlas Farm in S. Deerfield, MA. We work with Atlas mostly during the summer and fall, so we’re excited to get some of their root crops for you during the off-season. We’re also pleased to have fresh rosemary (one of the best herbs for roasting with root veggies) from Happy Valley Organics in Whately, MA.

We are now delivering fresh organic fruit to offices in Waltham on Mondays!

For businesses that would like to provide an alternative to vending machines and unhealthy snacks, Boston Organics will regularly deliver organic fruit boxes which contain a variety of fresh fruits directly to your office or break room.

The “Office Box” contains an ever-changing variety of fresh fruits that are easy to eat in the workplace, including bananas, apples, pears, and citrus or seasonal fruits.

Many people want to eat healthily and at the same time support a healthy food system; however, right now it is difficult for many people to carry this philosophy into the workplace due to the lack of convenient, healthy options.

We look forward to helping fellow business illustrate their commitment to health and sustainable practices by making organic fruit available to their employees.

If you’re interested in getting fruit for your office, Boston Organics is now delivering to businesses in Waltham on a weekly or biweekly basis, without long-term commitments or delivery fees.
