October is Fair Trade Month - What is Fair Trade?
October is Fair Trade Month - The concept of Fair Trade can be traced back to 19th century Europe. Gaining commercial success in the 90's with a labeling program, the Fair Trade movement has become fragmented and confusing. In this post we explore the history, why all Fair Trade labels are not the same, and why business pioneers in the movement like Equal Exchange and Deans Beans are focusing less on labels and more on business transparency.

Direct Trade Taza Chocolate; the best local chocolate!
Taza Chocolate makes high quality stone ground chocolate in their factory in Somerville, MA. Located less than 3 miles away from us in Charlestown, the aroma of chocolate practically wafts all the way to our warehouse.

This Thursday, September 22 is the autumn equinox, when day and night are the same length. (Approximately. We're mostly interested in the poetics.) This event marks the beginning of fall, and the ever-decreasing daylight as we head toward the winter solstice, the shortest day of the year. The balance of light and dark at the equinox got us thinking about other opposing pairs. Read on to see how we're bringing together all sorts of opposites in the kitchen using produce from this week's boxes.

A weekly update from Boston Organics.
With another foot of snow expected in Boston this morning, winter really isn’t messing around, but neither are we.

A weekly update from Boston Organics.
A thinning word-of the-day calendar and temperatures that regularly dip below freezing are sure signs that winter is approaching, but one conversation with any of our farmers is all you need to confirm that autumn is on its way out the door.

The sure signs of spring are finally in abundance! Doug Coldwell at Happy Valley Organics in Hadley, MA has been mighty busy lately. He’s bringing us fresh cut dill and basil for most of the boxes this week. He’s also offering our customers beautiful potted basil plants so you can grow organic herbs in your own kitchen or backyard!
This week’s recipe for Grilled Vidalia Onion and Peach Salad is a simple spring dish that combines some of the best seasonal items in this week’s boxes.
Read this week's newsletter to see what's fresh and in season. You'll also learn about Taza Chocolate and our May Summer Rewards Prizes!
