We were honored to receive recognition as a finalist for the Metro Boston GreenBest 2011 Award at the Boston GreenFest this year. The award was presented by Metro Boston and Jim Hunt, Boston’s Chief of Environmental and Energy Services, in an effort to recognize the most exemplary and environmentally responsible exhibitors. The 2011 Boston GreenFest was a wonderful celebration of environmentally-focused businesses, services, and lifestyles, and we look forward to participating again next year!

This past Saturday, we had the pleasure of co-hosting a cooking class called “Cooking Outside the Box with Boston Organics” at the Boston Center for Adult Education. Our culinary guide Chef Bernard Kinsella put together an excellent menu of delicious, healthy recipes that incorporated the produce from last week’s 2/3 Vegetable Box. We chopped, we baked, we laughed, and we learned how to make great-tasting dishes from simple, fresh ingredients. Oh, and we ate tons of great food!
Chef Bernard’s Menu:
If you missed out on this class, be sure to stay tuned for details about the next cooking class with Boston Organics.
We’re always looking for new ways to help you make the most out of your produce. Do you have a suggestion for a class or event? Contact us and let us know!
