During last week-end’s torrential rains in Somerville, Taza Chocolates got flooded out. What makes this especially painful is they just completed a costly renovation/upgrade of their facilities. They are on the mend, but need our support.
We plan to offer a special promotion next week.
In the meantime, you can visit their website to learn how you can help now…

We’re psyched to announce that we’re offering two new add-on cheeses from Maine’s Longfellow’s Creamery! These cheeses are handmade in small batches at Second Chance Farm in Avon. Second Chance Farm is Animal Welfare Approved.
Tumbledown Mountain Tomme – A raw milk cheese that is rich, earthy, and buttery! It is great with crackers or bread, but also melts beautifully and makes a wonderful grilled cheese!
Grafton Notch Gouda – A dense aged raw milk cheese.
We love ‘em, try them out!
We received this picture of a "modest carrot" from a Boston Organics member last week! This carrot came to us from Wintermoon Farm, in Hadley, MA, and we have some excellent add-on rainbow carrots from them this week!
