Topic: Organic Eggplants

You've probably heard it said: what grows together goes together. Well, what does that mean?!? Basically, that most vegetables, and fruit for that matter, that grow during the same season taste good together! Think summer's tomatoes, zucchini, basil, peppers, corn and eggplants (and peaches) or fall's squash and sweet potatoes plus sturdy greens and shitakes or spring's onions, spinach and potatoes. Our mouth is watering just thinking of the variety of dishes that can be made the current season's bounty of wonderful produce, everything from pastas to stir fries to frittatas to salads.

Dips and spreads make the best kind of party food: they’re easy to prepare, feed a crowd, and if you choose wisely, good for you. However their star power extends well beyond bashes - packing lunches is easier and snacking is healthier when you’ve got a delicious dip on hand. And if you toss them on the table during dinner prep, they’re a great way to reduce pre-meal whining too.

Blueberries are blue, sweet potatoes are sweet (though not actually potatoes), peaches are peachy but eggplants?!? Where did they ever get that moniker? While it's possible to make a delicious eggplant omelet, a hen's contritbution is required!

Our customers do not need to choose the Dogma box to support local farmers. Though there is no legal definition for the term "local", at Boston Organics we take a more regional approach by sourcing much of our local produce from the northeast region (Massachusetts, New Hampshire, Vermont, Maine).

Let's take a peak into our Standard and Specialty boxes this week to find out which have the most local produce!

Our Dogma Box includes organic fruits and vegetables sourced as close to Boston as possible throughout the year. Similar to a CSA or farm share, this box is filled with the best organic produce from local and regional farms each week.

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!

A weekly update from Boston Organics.

Even though it gets dark before we even head out for our evening commutes, we love this time of year because the longer evenings mean we can get away with putting on our PJs earlier, curling up on the couch with a book or eating comforting foods. The good news is that even though winter is almost here, we never have to sacrifice freshness and quality in the foods we most enjoy.
