To support sustainable food systems, eating organic is pretty much a slam dunk – right? By choosing organic foods, consumers can look forward to increased ecological biodiversity, healthier soil and water, and an absence of GMOs, synthetic pesticides and fertilizers.
But the lifespan and, as a result, the impact of our food doesn’t stop there. Between the farms and our forks are vast systems responsible for the movement of fresh food all year round. And right in the midst is Boston Organics!

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!
