As the weather heats up we are always on the lookout for how to cool down. One of the best ways that we have found is an old classic: popsicles! Homemade pops are easy to make at home and much better for you than anything you would find at the store. Popsicles are not just for kids and can be a great way for anyone to beat the summer heat. Not only are they easy to make but they are also a great use of the wonderful fruit that arrives in your Boston Organics delivery. Try them out at home; we are confident that you will find popsicles to be the best way to stay cool on a hot summer day.

Summer in New England is something special. Maybe it’s because the days are so long and the nights are so hot, or because the winter is so bitter that even a tiny bit of sun is a welcome change.

Summer is so close you can literally taste it.
Summer doesn’t officially start until next week and Boston public schools are still holding classes (thanks a lot Snowpocalypse), but our fruits and vegetables don’t seem to care. The peaches, nectarines and plums are ripening rapidly and the scallions, chives, kale and zucchini are ready for harvest.

It’s raining, it’s pouring and our farmers are breathing a sigh of relief. While these spring showers may have unhinged a few of our weekend plans, it’s a welcome storm for some of our farmers who have been fretting over increasingly abnormal weather patterns.
