Vegetation

With the farmer's markets winding down for the season (some will continue til the end of this month, but that's about it), it's time to start thinking about where to get good produce over the winter.
There are a couple of non-supermarket options, the SoWa Market will have some foodstuff after Oct 31, but not much fresh, and then there are rumors about a winter market in Somerville, but so far they're just rumors.

And that brings me to what I've found to be the best option: Boston Organics. They are an amazingly affordable, weekly or biweekly delivery service for organic fresh fruits and vegetables. They deliver to most places in the Boston area, in reusable boxes, and everything is really fresh and yummy.
They let you pick how much produce you want, the proportion of fruits to vegetables, and foods you absolutely do not want to receive. There are also some "add ons" that you can order, like bread and cheese and chocolate, and you can adjust your order up until the day before you get it.
All of the products they sell are sourced as close to Boston as possible, and are organic. In the dead of winter, they will send you bananas that are not from New England, but they will also send you wonderful bunches of kale, potatoes, all kinds of produce from close by.These guys are a great service, I get the $29 box every other week and it's perfect for the two of us, we almost never go buy other fruits and veggies.
