Boston Organics Blog | Fresh. Organic. Delivered. | Organic Squash (2)

With the arrival of the summer solstice last week we can finally announce that summer is here! As we enjoy the abundance of summer sun, the variety of produce in boxes continues to grow as well. With all that sun comes the welcoming of a favorite item, summer squash. On top of that we will continue to offer cherries as an add on and we will have sweet and delicious pea shoots coming to us from Jonathan’s Sprouts. If you didn’t get a chance to order some of the wonderful garlic scapes last week have no fear: they are still available so give them a try. Oyster mushrooms round out the new items that you might see in your delivery and the variety this week is Italian Oyster.

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.

All the snow we’ve gotten in the last couple of weeks has us looking at things in a new way. Snow-covered streets seem suddenly different, and the landscape keeps shifting as the snow melts, revealing things that were buried. As snow piled up, or got packed down into slippery ice, reliable paths suddenly seem strange. This shift in perspective can help us recognize what we usually take for granted, and look at them in a new light. This week, we are looking at things sideways and reconsidering familiar foods.

New Year’s eve can be a roaring fun time, but we know that we need some seriously delicious snacks to help us make it until midnight. Keep your party and table lively with help from Boston Organics. Enjoy the party, skip the grocery store.

This week is full of surprises, from mischievous ghouls jumping out at unsuspecting passerby to surprising identities revealed beneath Halloween masks. With changing seasons and ever-colder weather, this is also a time for turning inward, for reflection, and maybe there are surprises to be found there too. At the very least, there may be a surprise inside your Boston Organics box – in the form of new produce and add-ons.

Halloween is still a week away, but here at Boston Organics, we’re feeling some anticipatory giddiness at the prospect of spooky fun and, we’ll admit it, cauldrons of sweets. But you don’t have to follow our bad example—there are plenty of tasty ways to incorporate fruits and veggies into your Halloween party or ghostly goody bag. Your green Boston Organics box is full of delicious produce that you can turn into tricks or treats (or both) depending on your kitchen’s magic. It may even help change your ideas of what counts as a treat.

The temperature might be dropping, but our growing partners here in the Northeast show no signs of slowing during the late harvest season. In addition to seasonal roots (carrots, beets and radishes) and Brassicae (kale and cabbage), you’ll come across some fun and unique treats, too.
