How to Pack a Healthy School Lunch (Your Kids Will Actually Eat)
Mention school lunches to a parent and you’re guaranteed to get an emotional response. We all remember the barely edible “food” that our own school cafeterias served, and while some schools are doing a better job of providing their students with tasty and nutritious lunch options, packing a lunch is still the best way to make sure our kids stay energized and ready to learn all day long.
Making healthy lunches for your children also teaches them positive eating habits for the future. But when it comes to school lunches, there’s nothing worse than having your kid throw out a meal that you spent money, time and energy putting together.
With junk food more accessible than ever, we want to make sure our kids are eating right when we’re not there. Below are five tips for packing a healthy school lunch that your kids will actually eat.

Stone fruit has an element of nostalgia, bringing to mind memories of sweet, sticky hands on a hot summer day—picking through pint containers of little yellow-orange fruit at the farmers’ market and popping open vats of aromatic preserves put by for colder times. Luckily, we don’t have to wait until peak summer in New England to enjoy organic stone fruit season!

Long, warm, sunshine-filled days have put a spring in our steps and smiles on our faces! And you know what they say about spring rains bringing flowers! This mercurial weather surely has us thinking about all kinds of seasonal produce to savor. It's that time of year when we say goodbye to beets and hello to asparagus, rhubarb and strawberries! Some customers are already asking about tomatoes. Did you know it takes between 60-100 days from planting to harvest a local tomato. Today's work will be August's bounty!
Our Spring Produce Guide will tell you all about the produce you can expect to see in your box this season, as well as what to do with it.

Fresh organic herbs are easy to enjoy on their own, with their leaves of many shapes and sizes, and distinct fragrances that make you want to walk around with a bundle tied to your nose. But it can be hard to keep track of them all, and to figure out how to use them while the tender leaves are still fresh. Boston Organics is here to help you keep these flavorful plants straight so you can use them with ease.
