It may be hard to tell beneath several layers of scarves, jackets, and coats, but spring has officially arrived. Over the next few weeks, our farmers will be working earnestly in their fields while we patiently await their first harvests of the new season!

In the meantime, farmers like Doug Coldwell at Happy Valley Organics and Michael Docter at Winter Moon Farm continue to bring us their fresh and colorful winter bounty. Read this week's newsletter to see what's good in this week's boxes and find the link to our latest blog post about the collapse and repair of our iconic cargo bike.

We have plenty of green to go around this week with chard, lettuce, cucumbers, kiwis, Bartlett pears, and zucchinis going out in a number of boxes. We even have a new variety of radish from Winter Moon Farm, the Green Meat Radish.

Keeping with the theme, this week’s recipes are all green too. Learn how to make our Very Green Lentil & Chard Soup and how to make pesto without any basil! Check out the newsletter to see what's new and fresh at Boston Organics this week:

When you open your box this week, you might think that you accidentally set your clocks to summer. But don’t worry, you didn’t “spring ahead” too far, you’re just looking at greenhouse-grown basil from Happy Valley Organics.

We’re in the exciting process of reviewing last year’s produce with our growers and planning ahead for the upcoming local season. This week brings beautiful watermelon radishes and beets from Winter Moon Farm along with potatoes and purple top turnips from Nature's Circle Farm - both local Massachusetts farms.

But as the local supply starts to dwindle, we're expanding our add-on offerings to help you get a little more variety during this time of the year. In addition to our add-on staples like milk, eggs, bread, rice, pasta, quinoa, and more, we've now added a few exciting produce add-ons to brighten up your boxes. Check out this week's newsletter to find out what they are!

In spite of nasty weather across the country, some special organic citrus survived the freezes and have made their way to Boston Organics!

Blood oranges are one of our most delicious and colorful citrus fruits. Officially known as Moro oranges, one slice down the middle reveals how this fruit got its sanguineous nickname. High concentrations of anthocyanin, a pigment commonly found in flowers and a powerful antioxidant, gives the Moro orange its vibrant, blood-red flesh.

With fewer seeds than most oranges, it’s hard to find a tastier organic snack than blood oranges. Check out this week's newsletter to read more about our mid-winter citrus jubilee and find out what other fresh, organic produce is going out in boxes this week!

This is the time of the year when eccentric-looking root veggies abound. Red Fire Farm is bringing us a big harvest of organic celeriac, and we're excited to have this quirky root vegetable going out in a number of boxes this week.

You'll fall in love with celeriac, this Valentine's Day. But be careful, there are many things that you can say to your celeriac that we recommend you don't say to your Valentine. For example, "Your rough and hairy exterior makes you unappealing at first glance, and I'm intimidated to have you in my kitchen." Seriously, don't say that to your Valentine. Also, don't be intimidated.

Instead, read the newsletter and become an expert on celeriac. Also learn about local basil, crisp watermelon radishes, and the Fair Trade chocolate hearts that you can add to your boxes this week!

They say that when life gives you lemons, you should make lemonade. But when Boston Organics gives you Meyer lemons, you should make a risotto, a raw kale salad, or candied lemon slices. Read this week's newsletter for recipe ideas, and learn about our Meyer lemons, Mung bean sprouts, and collard greens.

Also get the details on our free film screening & discussion on GMO labeling in Massachusetts, and see what's in this week's boxes!

Super Bowl Sunday is almost here, but last week’s bone-chilling weather makes us wonder if “Bowl of Soup Sunday” might be more appropriate. We have lots of great soup-making ingredients in the boxes this week - Yukon Gold potatoes, beets, parsnips, cabbage, and more. Check out the newsletter for Super Bowl snack recipes and tips for a super bowl of soup.
