Boston Organics

They are absolutely wonderful! I love how I can change my weeks/​box type/​and even add on items like milk and bread. They are also super responsive when you write to them with questions and concerns. I’ve been using them now since September and have had 2 separate weeks with items missing but they are totally accommodating and add in stuff the next week to replace the missing items.

What a cool concept! Just found these guys last week on Unilocal and love it! If you need your Organic fix and are busy these guys are your option! All ORGANIC period and the best of the best for you and they deliver it right to your door! Awesome and very happy I now know they exist here in Boston!

I absolutely LOVE Boston Organics. I have been using them on and off for at least a year or more and have never been disappointed. Their customer service is amazing — one time they left an item out so I emailed them and the next week they more than made up for it — plus they are always super nice on the phone. I am a busy working single mom so not having to worry about getting to a market is a great thing for me and my son LOVES to look in the box and see what we are getting every week. In addition, having all that gorgeous, fresh produce in the house makes us want to eat it more and not waste so we are healthier for it.
I have recommended them to multiple friends and co-​workers and none have been disappointed.

Boston Organics is my fiancé’s and my favorite thing about living in Boston. For real, we are afraid of when we have to leave because we’re not sure we can find as great a service for organic fruits and vegetables (and groceries too!).
We eat A LOT of fruits and vegetables and share the $ 57 box weekly. The produce is much more than what I could get for the same price at the grocery store (especially organic produce). Not only that, but the quality of each piece of fruit or vegetable is much higher quality, similar to if I picked the BEST two of each fruit out of the grocery store bin. If we get produce anywhere else we generally look at each other and frown because it doesn’t taste as good as what we’re used to for Boston Organics.
In addition to the great produce, there are add ons– we are addicted to the taza chocolate discs (yum, and usually one flavor is on sale each week) and peanut butter, but we occasionally get some other add ons as well. We have not tried the diary thought, as we tend to get home from work late and would not want that sitting around in the lobby of our building until we got it to the fridge.
The customer service is great as well. You can basically switch your box, update your no list or add different add ons weekly which is great since we’re not always in Boston for weekends, so can easily down grade and upgrade to a smaller/​larger box when necessary. They also will hold your delivery if you’re on vacation or won’t be home for a week so the produce won’t go to waste.
We couldn’t be happier with this service (and have been using it for 2 years), so I finally decided to write this review on Unilocal (my first one) to tell everyone how great they are– even though it seems like they have many happy Unilocalers so far.

Love it. Great quality and delivered to my door. At first when I started looking into Boston organics I thought it was a bit expensive but I’ve realized that I’m actually saving money since whenever I do go to the store, I always buy more than I need. Since I’m not at the store nearly as often, I’m not spending as much money as I was before getting deliveries.
There are occasionally things that come in the box that I usually wouldn’t eat but that has forced me to try some new recipes. I’ve actually found a few that I really like and they have become some of my new go to recipes.
Highly recommended!

I was ecstatic when tofu was added and thought I only needed soy milk to be added. Problem solved. I now blend my tofu with water to the right consistency and sometimes add a little maple syrup, I now have my soy milk. Thank you Boston Organics! Your produce is always fresh and great selections.

Excellent produce and great value. I love that the produce is organic and non-​GMO. I appreciate the flexibility in the produce and look forward to my biweekly deliveries. There is no hidden contract and you can tailor the produce boxes to fit your life!

This is an excellent service. We had our first delivery and are so pleased. The fruits and vegetables we received are fresh and top quality. This is such a step-​up from our regular grocery delivery and the prices are very reasonable.

I’ve only used this service for about a month now, but so far so good. They forgot an item once but the customer service was super helpful in responding to that. I did get a bag of green bean once that pretty much looked like it was going bad when I got it, but otherwise the veggies seem pretty fresh and of high quality. The best part is that you know it’s organic.
A wider variety of options would be great, but that’d be my only suggestion. It seems like I get parsnips every week.

It makes me sad to not be able to write a perfect review for Boston Organics because I think it’s a wonderful business. I decided to start ordering their boxes because I wasn’t including enough fruits and vegetables in my diet and how convenient is it to have someone deliver a great variety to your door? I signed up for the $ 29 ⁵⁰⁄₅₀ box every other week. The first few deliveries were wonderful, amazing quality squash, avocado, plums, peaches. However… recent deliveries have not been as fresh. For some reason the kale I get is ALWAYS wilted and not crisp, and in this box, my pears and apples were all somewhat rotten, to the point of mostly inedible. With the farmers market right in my neighborhood, I just cannot justify using Boston Organics anymore. I’m going back to picking my own produce and making sure that everything I get is of top quality, all the time.

We are huge fans of Boston Organics. We get the $ 29 ⁵⁰⁄₅₀ box delivered every other week and it is always met with enthusiasm. Everything that comes in the box is the best version of whatever it is. Our twins race to the box to get the fruit because it is so fresh and so delicious. The delivery has encouraged us to try new vegetables. New house favorites thanks to boston organics are kohlrabi, rutabaga, and celeriac to name a few. Our 6 yr old twins are big fans and because we’ve been getting this delivery for a few years now, are very used to trying new things. I felt compelled to write because everyone was raving over last nights zucchini, so tasty. Thank you boston organics for great produce and great service!

This is such a great company!
I get the $ 29 ⁵⁰⁄₅₀ box biweekly and it is more than enough for my two person household. There is a lot of variety and it forces you to try new things, which I love. I almost never buy produce anymore unless I am looking for something very specific. After the first few weeks, I have set up my «no-​list» so that almost everything that comes is either new for us to try or something we know that we will enjoy.
The customer service is great! I had ordered some red grapes as an «add on» item to my box one week, and they sent me an email a few days before letting me know that they were out of them. No biggie, you have to understand when you are dealing with fresh vegetables and fruit. They let me know that not only would I not be charged but they would also send green grapes in my box for the inconvenience! Wonderful! They are also super nice on the phone and will help you with anything you need.
I love Boston Organics! It’s everything that I like — local, organic, sustainable, and delicious!

This is the best. No packaging. All organic. Delivered to your door. Great quality. Great value. A+.
This is the best way to get healthy for real.

I order the $ 24 «SMALL BOX» every other week. It’s the perfect size for solo cooking and has an equal balance of fruits of veggies.
I just moved in December and two of my roommates share a weekly $ 29 box. I was about to begin a «spending fast» (
) and needed to cut bought-​food (take out, etc) COMPLETELY from my budget.
Getting a green box of food every other week curbs my spending so much, you wouldn’t believe.
TWO FAVORITE FEATURES OF BOSTON ORGANICS
–the «no» list
–the bevy of recipes (
)
I just made some carrot and cumin soup last week. Awesome :)
Customer service is GREAT.
Four stars because once I got some bad lettuce. Nobody’s perfect :) I should have called them, though, because I’m sure they would have given me some chard or something. Love them!

I used to like Boston organics, and now I absolutely love it. They’re food is always so fresh and delicious, and tends to keep longer than I’m used to with grocery produce. The delivery is great and they are nice enough to climb my ricketty old staircase to delivery right to my back door.
What really made be fall in love though was this week when they didn’t deliver two kiwis that were supposed to come in my box. I sent them a quick email to request that they just put some in my next box, but instead they brought me another box that same night. Inside there were half a dozen kiwis, two pounds of potatoes, and a pound of broccoli just to make up for one little mistake. I couldn’t be happier with the service, quality of food, and convenience. It’s absolutely worth the price.

I have genuine and heartfelt love for Boston Organics. I’d wanted to sign up for the service for years, but at the time I lived on a tiny street in the North End in a building without a lobby. When I moved to a bigger building in Brookline, one of the first things I did was sign up for Boston Organics.
I signed up for the Dogma Box, which, for $ 29/​month, includes at least eight unique fruits, vegetables, and/​or herbs, sourced as locally as possible. The furthest I’ve seen, even in the dead of winter, is Quebec and New York, which is a vast improvement over California, Florida, or even international produce. The dogma box is one of the cheapest options and it is still too much for one person (try as I might!), and I only have it delivered every other week. That said, the abundance of root vegetables this winter has been my friend, as I can store most of them for weeks, if not months, in my fridge.
The variety in the local box (and I’m sure even moreso in the regular boxes) has been wonderful, and I’ve tried countless new vegetables because of Boston Organics: garlic scapes (amazing in a pesto), black radishes, sunchokes, celeriac, and so on and so forth. While I can’t wait for the variety and abundance that spring will bring, even winter has been great, learning how to make delicious root vegetables (and the occasional head of cabbage or kale) work for me. Learning to eat seasonally hasn’t been easy, but Boston Organics has made it so much easier.
As for their customer service, they score highly there, too. I’ve forgotten to put my box out numerous times (I recently collected three boxes, which it is not in my best interest to do, given that I live in a studio apartment) and the couple of times I’ve called to apologize/​explain, they’ve been understanding and genuinely don’t care, so long as you return them eventually. I sent them an email asking if I could expect to see any fruit in the dogma box, and received a prompt (within the hour) response telling me I’d see some apples and pears in the fall, but that was pretty much it. I responded saying that I’d hoped to see some berries in the spring and summer but it was by no means a dealbreaker, and I ended up receiving blueberries at least three or four times over the summer. I don’t know if my email had anything to do with the change, but I was happy nonetheless.
I strongly believe in eating local and organic food, and Boston Organics makes it easier and more affordable for a wider audience in the Boston area.

Let me preface my review by saying that I just got my first delivery from BO so I havent been with them any length of time. However, I am SO happy with the product quality and my box arrived right at my door inside my apt building. Another person gets deliveries here so I guess thats how they got in but either way, it was really nice of them.
I think the price is solid. Some product/​foods are a tiny bit more expensive but it’s worth it. For example, I believe I can get organic eggs for 3.99 at TJ but they are 4.60 from BO. BUT they are local so in this economy, where I am fortunate enough to have a job, I feel good about supporting our local economy.
Definitely love their «no food» list and «add ons»
Also love that their magnets tell you how to store produce– i wasnt sure on some things like butternut squash and it definitely helped!

I ended up cancelling my Boston Organics service because I just wasn’t enjoying it as much as I should be. I think I had one too many weeks of receiving produce that’d be going south two days after I got it and sometimes I just can’t cook that fast — my delivery day was Tuesdays, but I do most of my cooking Saturday — Thursday, so it just didn’t mesh well with my schedule.
I will say, however, that their customer service is absolutely top notch. Whenever I had a problem — even when it was MY fault (I really did think I saved my updated no list, I swear!) — their response was always prompt and professional and always in my favor, even when I admitted my mistake in contacting them once. You really can’t beat it.

I am thrilled with my decision to have Boston Organics deliver fruits and veggies to my door every Tuesday. The produce has been wonderful and fresh, and I’ve loved trying out the new recipes the come in the e-​newsletter. I can’t stop telling people about Boston Organics and encouraging them to sign up.
I have never done anything like this before, but I have friends who get produce through farm shares and the like, and they wind up with four pounds of zucchini that they have no idea what to do with. I love that I get a wide variety of fruits and veggies so I can make a lot of different things. I love, love, love Boston Organics!

Boston Organics is my latest food crush, and I can’t sing its praises more highly.
I drool at the thought of joining a CSA, to belong to one of those communal agro-​societies and eat local/​sustainable/​seasonable deliciousness. This is the food I thrive on. Except — I’m single and I don’t have a car, so picking up deliveries and trying to consume all the food that comes with a CSA, even shared, is a near-​impossible task.
Enter Boston Organics.
For just $ 29 every other week, I can get the Dogma Box in the summer (that’s locally-​sourced organic fruits, veggies, and herbs), and in the winter months I can still have produce delivered right to my door that, while less local, is at least diverse in product and still Organic. Also, considering that I barely went grocery shopping before because of the time it takes up, how heavy groceries are and how puny my muscles are, I ate out more than I wanted and cooked less than I wanted. The produce I get lasts me the full 2 weeks so it rounds out to only being about $ 15/​week for a ton of fruits and veggies, I can get add ons of tea and bread and eggs and flour and granola and pickles and CHEEEEEESE so I *still* hardly need to do any grocery shopping beyond nabbing a few staples.
I change my box often to keep up diversity, I nab add-​ons often, I update my «no» lists (I don’t like tangelos, i’m sorry!), the customer service department is friendly and responsive when I get a squished kiwi, and the delivery guy is gracious when I answer my door, disheveled in a bathrobe, having just completed belting a Rebecca Black parody for my students, as he turns the key.
A++++ Boston Organics. I heart you, and my banana bread, and my omelets, and my roasted veggies, and my salads with homemade vinaigrettes…
