We discovered Justin Klaassen, a product developer and father of two who lives in South Boston, when he started tagging us on Instagram, where he posts under the name @hoppybeerman. Always the posts would feature a beer next to some fruits or vegetables that he got in his Boston Organics box.

A couple of years ago, Joy Huang started her Instagram account (@joyosity) to share photos of her culinary creations and travel explorations. Last year, she challenged herself to post one recipe photo a day. Since then, her audience has grown and she now has over 6,000 followers.
She says joining cooking clubs on Facebook (like the Food52 cookbook club and baking club) gave her a lot of inspiration for what to make. Occasionally some of her posts would be picked up by other larger accounts like @Food52, @marthastewart, @thekitchn, @foodandwine, and @thefeedfeed which brought a lot more exposure to her account. One unique aspect of her Instagram photos is that they are all taken and edited with her iPhone.

Coley took over as the marketing manager at Boston Organics in the summer of 2017 after working for a handful of local tech startup and, before that, as the marketing manager of a grocery co-op in Tucson, Arizona.
The weather outside is frightful and if you're lucky enough to be home from work, you're probably wondering what to do with yourself. Here are a few suggestions from your friends at Boston Organics. (Note: If you did make it in to the office today, numbers two, three and six are still totally doable -- five, too, if you have a long enough lunch break, a carrot for a nose and sticks for arms.)
