During the summer, almost all of our veggies come from Massachusetts and the Dogma Box becomes a colorful masterpiece of New England farming. With Farmers Market season on the horizon, we want to remind you that there are plenty of ways to make the farmers market work in conjunction with your Boston Organics deliveries. Check out our fresh ideas on how to get the best of both worlds in our new blog post, Getting the Most of the Local Season. We received feedback from some of you in our customer survey that you were looking for more ways to involve your kids, and we decided to make a Boston Organics Coloring Book! Our talented Fleet Manager Tom is not only the admiral of our van fleet; he’s an accomplished artist to boot. This coloring book exhibits Tom’s fun illustrations that tell the story of our service – from a seed in the farmer’s field to the bountiful food on your table. This book is great for all ages, but we think kids aged 2-10 will have the most fun with it. You can add our Coloring Book to your orders here! We’re sending out sweet Vidalia onions in almost all of our boxes this week. Spring is the beginning of the grilling season and Vidalia onions are perfect for the grill because of their larger size and sweet flavor. It’s a good time to remove onions from your no-list if they’re on it. This week’s herb is basil from Happy Valley Organics in Whately. Also in boxes this week are broccoli, kale, red leaf lettuce, and Dwight Miller Orchard’s Vermont-grown Empire apples! Fruit boxes will be getting the first of the season’s apricots as well as fresh strawberries. Our featured add-on is a 1 lb bag of dried garbanzo beans from Fiddler’s Green in Maine. Also known as chickpeas, garbanzos are a delicious source of protein for vegetarians and vegans. Since these beans are dried, they’ll need to be soaked overnight before cooking. Once cooked, you can add them to salads, make a veggie and chickpea curry, or make some tasty hummus! Check out our garbanzos and our other dried legumes here. We just heard that our trusted coffee supplier Equal Exchange is having some difficulties with their roaster. Due to this, there will be a shortage of French Roast whole and ground bean coffee this week, but don’t fret! To alleviate the morning jitters we’re bringing in EE’s Love Buzz coffee – a flavorful blend of French and Full City roasts. Find it on our Coffee Add-on page. As always, if there is ever anything missing from your order or if there is a quality issue, please let us know. We have a form on our website for you to report any produce issues you have that makes it a lot easier for us to make sure you’re getting the best possible service we can provide. Enjoy your produce and have a delicious week! Thanks!

Raw Kale Salad with Parmesan and Lemon Olive Oil Dressing Salad: salt and pepper, to taste Dressing: 1 lemon, juiced ½ cup olive oil Wash and dry the kale. Remove the stems and chop it into strips by rolling the leaves into a ball and making thin slices. Cut it all once again going in the other direction so you end up with a pile of nicely chopped greens. In a small jar, combine the juice of one lemon and the olive oil. Put a lid on the jar and shake it vigorously. Add the pine nuts and cheese to the greens and toss them to combine. Add the dressing to the greens, and again, toss to combine. Season with salt and pepper, as needed.
