The organic Maine wild blueberries from Burke Hill Farm are finally in! But maybe only for this week. Maine wild blueberries are the best kind of blueberries and one of the true highlights of summer in New England. They’re not like the ones you find at the supermarket. They’re smaller and have an intense flavor. They’re amazing and great for baking, making smoothies or sprinkling on your breakfast cereal.

2009 has been a great year for local food. At Boston Organics, we were able to more than double our direct purchasing of Massachusetts’ and regionally grown organic produce. We were able to do this primarily through pro-actively working with select farms. Because of your support we were able to accurately place and in some cases pre-pay for many of this past season’s crops as early as last winter. Many growers have taken notice and recognize Boston Organics to be a meaningful and reliable business partner. We expect to offer even more local and regional fruits and veggies in 2010. Ultimately, it is your underlying support that makes this all possible. We sincerely thank you for helping make 2009 a successful year. We look forward to serving you in 2010!

Michael Pollan’s most recent book In Defense of Food and article in the New York Times hit on a key but underlying theme about what Boston Organics is partially about; encouraging and supporting a lifestyle of eating and preparing simple ingredients. While living in San Francisco from 1995-2002, I underwent a lifestyle transformation. Part of that transformation included eating more healthy foods thanks to a home delivery service called Planet Organics. I had always considered myself a healthy person that exercised regularly and ate a balanced diet.

We are really excited about the local, organic strawberries. At a recent meeting I attended, I brought over one package each of the local and California strawberries.
