Throughout the year, members of the Boston Organics Community are able to enjoy locally grown produce thanks to the effort and expertise of our dedicated farm partners. The relationships our purchasing team has built over the years help bring our customers closer to the source of their food, and help to strengthen our regional food system. Last week, some of our staff had the opportunity to pay a visit to some of these hard-working farmers in western Massachusetts to learn about their operations and even taste some of the delicious produce members of the Boston Organics Community can expect to see in their boxes this week.

Throughout the year, Boston Organics’ network of farm partners supplies us with fresh, local produce. We are grateful for all of these relationships. One special star of the summer local season is Atlas Farms, which keeps the Boston Organics Community in summer squash, poblano peppers, fennel and more greens than you can shake a stick at. We have worked with Atlas for more than ten years, and look forward to continue to collaborate to strengthen our regional food system.

This August, champions will converge in a single location to demonstrate their ability to withstand the most grueling challenges of endurance. They will amaze onlookers with their grace and tenacity as they compete for the ultimate prize: to be chosen first for your dinner. The place: your Boston Organics box. The champions: the abundant fruits of New England’s local season. Grab your napkin and wave it high in support of your favorite produce, whether it is sweet, succulent watermelon, kickin’ jalapenos or some underdog competitor waiting to take you by surprise.

We may think of winter as the season for movies, when the news is abuzz with Oscar speculation. But during the summer months, Boston offers free outdoor movies that are almost as abundant as delicious local greens. You can catch anything from Zootopia to Raiders of the Lost Ark all across town, from the Hatch Shell to Assembly Row. Make sure you have everything you need for your sunset movie picnic by getting it delivered right to your door. Don’t forget the popcorn!

Fresh from the Farm: A New Partner & Summery Add-Ons
Tomorrow night, July 19th, we celebrate the Buck Moon, which is the full moon that occurs the time of year when male deer begin growing antlers. The moon is also described as the Thunder Moon since it appears in the height of summer thunderstorm season. In keeping with the mid-summer theme, boxes this week will be booming with a bounty of produce, many of which are being harvested from right here in New England.
