Local sage, thyme, rosemary, and oregano from Happy Valley Organics steal the show in this week’s Dogma Box! This mix of fresh-cut herbs adds a blast of flavor to roasted veggies, grilled meats, or homemade salad dressings.

The local season really kicks into gear next week with spring crops from Atlas Farm! Get ready for local greens and tomatoes – and check back every week to see what’s fresh and in season.
We hope you’re warming up your barbecues this Memorial Day because grilling season has begun!
A mix of fresh-cut herbs from Happy Valley Organics will make a great addition to any grilled meat or vegetable dish and with giant organic Vidalia onions in most of the boxes this week, we bet you’ll be headed out to the grill this week. While you’re there, slice up a juicy peach, nectarine, or pluot and caramelize it over an open flame – it’ll blow your mind!

This week’s Dogma Box is piled high with colorful organic fruits and vegetables from New England farms. The fragrant aroma of fresh cut dill from Hadley, MA wafts through the air, mingling with the scent of a ripe hot house tomato and signaling the imminent inception of summertime.

Dill is a particularly refreshing springtime herb. The distinctive flavor is often associated with pickles, but it can also be paired with yogurt or used in this week’s recipe for a Three Bean Spring Salad.

He’s bringing us fresh cut dill and basil for most of the boxes this week.
