We may be moving into fall but that doesn’t mean that we are no longer getting new items from all of our wonderful farm partners. We are in that perfect time where we get to enjoy the end of summer produce and the beginning of a whole new crop of vegetables. We are happy that we have wrapped up another successful summer here and are very excited to head into fall and see all the new items that we have to look forward to all fall.

We know you’re busy. That’s why we created the Custom Box, which let’s you choose what comes in your box each week. Check out this post about how to manage your custom box so that you are able to get the most out of this new way to use Boston Organics.

Here are some tips for how to fill your custom box this week, so you can be prepared for whatever is in store, from the first week back at school, to the big game, to a hike in the woods.

We are beginning to wind down the summer vegetable season. We have had a great summer in terms of the amazing produce that we have been able to offer. As we look ahead to fall (see last year’s fall produce guide), let’s take a moment to savor some of our summer favorites, like fennel, tomatoes, green beans and plums.

August may be coming to an end but that does not mean that there isn’t still time to take advantage of all the amazing summer produce that we still have available this week. There are so many wonderful farm partners that we are so lucky to work with and the ending of one season and the beginning of another is a time to be grateful for the partnerships that we have while also getting excited about the wonderful produce to come.

Just because we are well into the month of August doesn’t mean that we are not still receiving new produce items from local farms on a weekly basis. This month we’ve got local, organic peaches, courtesy of Dwight Miller and Sons Orchard in Dummerston, Vermont.

The kids are headed back to school and that means a return to the weekday morning scramble. Don’t worry. We’re here to help. We can’t sign your kids’ permission slips or slather sunscreen on their faces, but we’ve got an assortment of snacks that are perfect for lunches or an afterschool energy boost.

They often say that before the food gets to our mouths that we eat with our eyes. All summer we have been talking about the many different local greens but now we get to talk about some different colors, blue, orange, red and yellow. These colors will be highlighted by the new and exciting local fruits and vegetables we have this week. Local vegetables have been very exciting so far this summer and they continue to be. This week also get to see an increase in number of local fruit that will be on display in many of the boxes and available as an add on.

We truly love the long summer here at Boston Organics, and not just because of the beautiful weather and enjoying all of the fun things to do around the city, or even the return of our staff’s favorite television series. Summer is when we get to really showcase all the amazing farms that we have alliances with. Unlike the characters in Game of Thrones we dont have to fear that winter is coming just yet, so lets continue to enjoy the fruits of our long summer. Much like the airing of a new episode of Game of Thrones every week we get excited for the weekly deliveries from our farm partners.

Summer is in full swing and we are fully stocked on local items coming from different farms around the New England area. It is hard to imagine that August is beginning tomorrow so now is the time to enjoy the local produce that we have available. Take a look at the ever expanding selection of produce that is available to order as an add on or give the custom box a try and put together a box of all the items for the perfect meal. We have some awesome recipes to try if you are looking for something to make for dinner or just want to try cooking with a fun new vegetable or fruit that came in your box this week.

When it comes to making breakfast in the morning it can often be difficult to find the motivation and there is never enough time before you have to rush out the door. Overnight oats can be a solution to the hectic morning routine. Prep your oats the night before and all you have to do is grab a spoon and you’re on your way to a tasty breakfast and well-fueled day. This is a nutritious way to start your day as well as enjoy some of the wonderful fruits that arrive every week in your Boston Organics box.
