We bet you can understand how excited foodies like us get for a holiday like Thanksgiving. We will cook and eat delicious food with our friends and family all day long and we’re planning to celebrate right into Friday too!
But before we even think about preheating our ovens, we want to make sure you and your family have everything you need to celebrate the holiday, so we’ve created a special delivery schedule.
Please check our Thanksgiving Delivery Schedule (2014) to see when you can expect your delivery.
Skipping a Delivery
Please let us know as soon as possible if you do not want to receive a delivery the week of Thanksgiving.
Our farmers are also getting ready for the holiday, and we need to let them know in advance how much they should harvest. If you decide to cancel, please consider donating your delivery to the Greater Boston Food Bank.
Donate Your Box
Once again, Boston Organics is providing you an opportunity to give fresh produce to those in need via our Thanksgiving Give-a-Box Program. Each box you donate will give a $29 box’s worth of fresh, organic produce to the Greater Boston Food Bank. The Food Bank will distribute these goods to families in our communities.
Don’t want to cancel your delivery, but still want to make a donation? No problem! Any member of the Boston Organics Community can Give-a-Box.
