After a long, hot summer, the cooler temperatures of the last week have offered something of a reprieve, and an opportunity to pull out our fall jackets, flannel shirts, and woolly socks.

Tonight is the first debate between presidential candidates Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump. This much-anticipated face-off and the hotly contested primaries have dominated the news and conversation for months. Here at Boston Organics, we’re counteracting the stress, tension and noise of the election the best way we know how—cooking  with fresh, organic ingredients. A side benefit of this method of coping is that it leaves the Boston Organics Community well-nourished and ready to be engaged citizens, whether by simply voting or getting involved in the campaign for a specific candidate or ballot question.

A weekly update from Boston Organics.

Though January may be a month of cold, quiet and subdued colors, the produce Boston Organics is delivering this week didn't get the message. This week's boxes include tasty treasures like crisp butter lettuce and intensely red blood oranges. We are grateful for all the nutrients packed into these brightly-colored foods, helping keep us healthy and well even when it's gray outside.

It's now December, just weeks away from the official start of winter. Hanukkah's begun. Holiday shopping is in full swing. And an onslaught of Christmas carols ushering you through every public space is unavoidable. So does all of this mean that we're officially finished with the local growing season? Nope. Not even close.

A weekly update from Boston Organics.

Author Faith Baldwin once painted a rich portrait of autumn, describing how it "[burns] brightly, a running flame through the mountains, a torch flung to the trees." The same goes for the fields in which our farm partners' crops grow. And this week we're taking some of fall's fiery enchantment, packing it up and bringing it to your doorstep.
