Though it may not seem like it given last week’s snow, this week marks the beginning of spring, with the vernal equinox on Monday, March 20. Though there may still be remnants of icy cold snow on the ground this week, the produce in your Boston Organics box will remind you of the good things that come in this new season.

Since the beginning of daylight savings time, longer days have mostly meant longer evenings. The lingering afternoon sun can create a sense of abundance, of light and of time. But it can also be an uncomfortable and awkward season, with unpredictable precipitation and scraps of warmth. How many layers do I need? Darn, should have brought an umbrella.

There’s one thing you can count on in this mercurial in-between season: your Boston Organics box will keep things fun, fresh and delicious.

Early spring can be a time of waiting and excitement. Warm days are so close we can taste them and new plants stretch slowly above the soil before the real green explosion begins. It can also be a time for seeking, whether we’re looking for the first tiny blooms or chocolate eggs hidden in the yard. Don’t worry though, your Boston Organics boxes will still come right to your door, though they contain plenty of produce to get excited about.

As we transition into the new year, it’s a wonderful time for reflection and gratitude. One thing we are grateful for (besides this balmy weather) is that we’re still delivering a bounty of organic, colorful produce from right here in the Northeast. In fact, we’re delivering produce this week for every color of the rainbow.

It’s impossible to miss the plump organic tomatoes in this week’s Dogma Boxes because they’re the first locally grown tomatoes we’ve seen in a very long time.

If New Yorkers were carrots, parsnips would be the Bostonians of the vegetable world. For no discernible reason, parsnips are inhibited by a bit of an inferiority complex despite being much friendlier to the palate than the more popular orange root.
