Over the summer, we held a friendly competition for members of the Boston Organics Community with 8 fabulous prizes from some of our favorite local companies. Last weekend, one of our lucky winners redeemed her prize: a personal cooking experience with Chef Ryan Redmond.
Chef Ryan is an excellent cook, a fantastic teacher, and an all-around great guy. He holds a Professional Chef’s Degree from the Cambridge School of Culinary Arts and has taught cooking to children and adults for many years. With his own company, Field to Fork, Chef Ryan combines his passion for good food and learning into personalized interactive dinner parties.
Chef Ryan worked with Becky, winner of the June Summer Rewards Prize Drawing and a veteran member of the Boston Organics Community, to create an amazing menu using fresh seasonal produce from Boston Organics.
The gourmet six-course menu included many new and creative dishes, but it was designed in a way so Becky could recreate all of them in her own kitchen after the party was over.
On Sunday afternoon, Becky invited a group of friends over to her house to cook with Chef Ryan. Together, they roasted potatoes with an avocado and pumpkin seed sauce, fashioned corn tortilla tacos with braised pork shoulder, pickled radishes and a black bean puree, and created exotic popsicles with pineapple, chile, coconut and Taza chocolate!
Through all the food, wine, chatter and laughter, Chef Ryan Redmond shared some of his distinguished cooking techniques with Becky and her guests. By the end of the evening, their minds were as full as their bellies — inspired by the hands-on experience of communal cooking.
To learn more about Chef Ryan Redmond and his company, Field to Fork, visit www.chefryan.org. If you’re interested in hosting your own interactive dinner party, shoot him an email and let him know you’re a member of the Boston Organics Community!

Join the Juicing Jamboree!
It’s a fact that Americans don’t consume enough fruits and vegetables. Even with a Boston Organics subscription, it takes time and a conscious effort make sure you eat your USDA recommended 5 servings of fruits and vegetables every day. That’s why many members of the Boston Organics Community enjoy the simplicity and convenience of juicing.
With a quality juicer, you can easily extract the vitamins and minerals from fresh fruits and vegetables, helping your body absorb them more quickly. Plus, fresh homemade juice is unpasteurized, which means it maintains more of these natural nutrients.
You can also control everything that goes into your juice, so you can add an extra head of kale and keep out the sugar – or replace all the kale with a few heaping tablespoons of sugar if you prefer!
The Breville 850-Watt Juicer
As part of our Summer Rewards Program, one lucky Boston Organics customer will be selected to receive a brand-new Breville 850-Watt Juicer at the end of this month!
This high-end juicer is largely considered one of the best introductory juicers on the market. It’s multiple speeds and large feed tube make it easy for you to effortlessly extract nutrients from all of your fresh fruits and vegetables, and the accompanying recipe book will make you a master juicer in no time!
This centrifugal juicer draws the juice out quickly and separates the pulp into a large 2.5-liter receptacle, which means you can juice large quantities without interruptions. If you want a little extra fiber in you diet, you can add some pulp back into your juice or save it for added texture and flavor in soups, pasta dishes, and baked goods. Because the moving parts easily disassemble and are dishwasher safe, cleanup is speedy and painless.
How to Win:
If you want to increase your chances of winning this juicer, you can begin by referring friends to Boston Organics through our Refer-A-Friend Program. For every friend you tell about Boston Organics, you’ll automatically receive 10% off your next delivery and get an extra entry in our monthly Summer Rewards drawing!

We All Scream for Ice Cream!
There’s no better way to beat the heat this summer than with a few free scoops of Ben & Jerry’s ice cream! At the end of July, our friends at the Boston scoop shop will give one lucky Boston Organics customer over $100 worth of Ben & Jerry’s ice cream cones and cakes. You won’t have to choose between Chocolate Therapy, Chunky Monkey, or Triple Caramel Chunk – you can get all three and share with your friends!
Why We Love Ben & Jerry’s
Ben & Jerry’s doesn’t just make incredibly delicious ice cream, they make it in the best possible way. Almost 35 years ago, Ben Cohen and Jerry Greenfield helped pioneer the socially responsible business movement when they opened a small New England ice cream shop that dared to care about more than just making a profit.
Like Boston Organics, Ben & Jerry’s is a certified B Corporation – a new kind of business that uses the power of business for good. Together, we take care of our customers, our employees and the environment. Ben & Jerry’s sources their ingredients intentionally and responsibly, and in recent years they have led the charge for mandatory GMO labeling laws in Massachusetts and beyond!
You can visit the Boston Scoop Shop at 174 Newbury Street.
