October is both Fair Trade Month and Non-GMO Month – a reminder for us to pause our busy lives for one moment and to reflect on the current state of our food system. With the school year in full swing and the holiday season quickly approaching, this is a good opportunity to think critically and learn more about the food we eat and where it comes from!

As the days get shorter and the nights get colder, it's easy to get sentimental for those warm summer days. And though the evening frost may have abruptly ended this year's heirloom tomato season, it also signals that a new variety of wonderful organic fruits and vegetables is on its way.

It just doesn't feel like summer without a nice array of fragrant tomatoes on your kitchen counter, and this week many members of the Boston Organics Community will find a pint of beautiful grape tomatoes from Lakeside Organics in their weekly box!
These bite-sized tomatoes are a real treat, not only because they're certified organic and locally grown, but because it's been a particularly tough year for organic tomato farmers in New England. Late blight, a devastating fungal disease, has destroyed thousands of organic tomato plants in Massachusetts alone - making organic tomatoes more expensive and difficult to find.
This week's newsletter explores the effect that late blight has had on the local organic tomato crop and explains what organic farmers are doing to contain it.
