We are deeply saddened by the tragic events that happened at last week's Marathon, and our hearts and thoughts are with everyone impacted by the acts of violence. We want to do what we can to help. The One Fund Boston, an initiative put forth by Governor Patrick and Mayor Menino, is raising money to help those families most affected by the tragic events at the Boston Marathon. Boston Organics customers are now able to donate to One Fund in $5 increments as an add-on. We will be matching the first $500 donated. Thank you for your help!

We hope everyone had a happy Thanksgiving holiday! We've got lots of great veggies this week along with some special fruits, including persimmons and Ataulfo mangoes! It's also the last week for cranberries, and we still have some of our holiday produce and pecan add-ons for your cooking needs this holiday season. Check out the newsletter!

Happy October! October is shaping up to be quite a busy month with the Boston Local Food Festival and the Boston Vegetarian Food Festival coming up soon. We're also celebrating Non-GMO Month and Fair Trade Month with a sale on Equal Exchange coffees, teas, and chocolates throughout October!

October is Non-GMO Month!

We are excited to announce that Boston Organics will be participating in Non-GMO Month 2012 this October!

Non-GMO Month is an opportunity to coordinate our voices and our actions, so that we can stand up loudly and clearly for our right to know what's in our food, and to choose non-GMO foods.

Genetically modified organisms (GMOs) are plants or animals created through the process of genetic engineering. This experimental technology forces DNA from one species into a different species. The resulting GMOs are unstable combinations of plant, animal, bacterial and viral genes that cannot occur in nature or in traditional breeding.

Congratulations to all of our Boston Organics customers who participated in the Summer Sweepstakes! Thank you for your enthusiasm and for your ongoing support. After weeks of challenges and bonus points our intern has finely (and finally) combed through every social medium to tally the total points earned. Using state of the art technology, our marketing department enlisted the help of a computer and science to pick our winners. We are thrilled to have had so many dedicated contestants and hope you had as much fun as we did playing the sweepstakes all summer long!

We recently celebrated our 10th anniversary with a big party here at our warehouse in Charlestown! Despite a rainy Saturday, we transformed the inside of our warehouse into a farmers market with hay bales, flowers, music, incredible food, and lots of smiling faces! It was such a pleasure to share this occasion with our customers, friends, family, farmers, and community members.
