We've had a wonderful streak of bountiful harvests from our local farm partners in recent weeks, and we expect the crisp vegetables continue to roll in from our New England farmers through the rest of the summer and into the fall.

The mercurial early summer weather continues to keep our organic farm partners on their toes. Gideon Porth at Atlas Farm reported that the heat caused a few rows of arugula to bolt prematurely, but the plentiful rain helped his early plantings of collard greens grow to full size in time for harvest.

Summer in New England is something special. Maybe it’s because the days are so long and the nights are so hot, or because the winter is so bitter that even a tiny bit of sun is a welcome change.

This spring our local farmers faced lengthy dry spells periodically interspersed with heavy rainstorms—making it difficult to predict which fields would need extra attention and which crops would be ready to harvest.

Summer is so close you can literally taste it.

Summer doesn’t officially start until next week and Boston public schools are still holding classes (thanks a lot Snowpocalypse), but our fruits and vegetables don’t seem to care. The peaches, nectarines and plums are ripening rapidly and the scallions, chives, kale and zucchini are ready for harvest.

As the weather warms up, spring is quickly progressing towards summer and our local harvests are becoming more and more flavorful.

Another bunch of organic leafy greens are on their way from Atlas Farm, including arugula, chard and kale. But this week those greens are bolstered by some tasty new ingredients like zucchini and strawberries!

When you joined the Boston Organics Community, you took a big step towards improving the way you eat. If you weren’t used to cooking on a regular basis, it may have required a little extra work. At the same time, you’re probably also running to the supermarket a lot less frequently.

The biggest change, however, is one you may not even realize. By filling your home with fresh, organic food, you and your family are eating healthier and making better food decisions every day.

When you surround yourself with healthy food, you’re going to eat healthy food. It may seem obvious, but these kinds of simple insights are often lacking in today’s modern diet fads.

Slim By Design is different.

Typical of this time of the year, leafy greens are in great abundance, while much of the rest of our favorite seasonal produce is still ripening on the vine. Organic chard, kale, spinach, lettuce and bok choy are all coming from Atlas Farm this week. We can't help but wonder, what are we supposed to do with all of these organic greens?!
