Our Local Dogma Box includes organic fruits and vegetables sourced as close to Boston as possible throughout the year. Similar to a CSA or farm share, this box is filled with the best organic produce from local and regional farms and brought right to your door each week.

There is so much amazing organic produce in this week’s Local Dogma Box that it’s hard to know where to begin. Atlas Farm has an incredible fall harvest of leafy greens and root veggies, and the fresh basil from Happy Valley Organics is out of this world.

But the real showstoppers are the local organic cranberries from Jonathan’s Sprouts (formerly Joanthan’s Organic). Harvested from a network of small organic bogs on Cape Cod, these are the freshest cranberries you can find.

This week’s Dogma Box contains:

  • Arugula – Atlas Farm (S. Deerfield, MA)

Not familiar with that strange bulbous root in your box? That’s probably kohlrabi, a descendant of wild cabbage and a very versatile vegetable. Here are 5 ways to cook kohlrabi, plus a special recipe for this week’s Dogma Box customers: Stir-Fried Rice Noodles with Kohlrabi and Basil.

This week’s Dogma Box includes some of the cold weather root crops that we’ve been enjoying throughout the winter along with fresh flavors of cucumbers and Jonathan’s Munchin’ Mix of sprouts!

Why isn’t there more variety this time of year?

Sourcing locally can be a great challenge during the springtime in New England. We’re currently in a transitional period for local produce, as farmers are preparing for the local season ahead and most crops haven’t started yet. While this means we have a ton of great local produce to look forward to, in the interim it can be difficult to find a wide variety of crops to include in the Dogma Box. Fortunately, over the next few weeks we will start to see more signs of spring with fresh herbs and more veggie varieties as they come into season.

We hope you enjoy this delicious bounty of New England farms!
