Mission
Boston Organics is committed to delivering fresh organic produce to our customers each week, while focusing on convenience, variety, and value. As we grow we strive to respect the environment and to support local farms, local businesses, and fair-trade practices.
Values
Sensible Fuel Use:
Our delivery routes are mapped out for our drivers prior to their departure from our warehouse, so that we can deliver our produce boxes in the most efficient manner possible.We also ask that our drivers shut off their vehicles whenever possible, so that we can keep our emissions and fuel use to a minimum.
In 2009 we became proud owners of a cargo bike and we use it to make deliveries close to our warehouse!
Composting & Recycling:
We work with Save that Stuff to recycle our recyclables and to compost whatever we can. The compost that is picked up from Boston Organics eventually makes its way to Rocky Hill Farm in Saugus, Massachusetts.Save that Stuff Recycling Report 2008

Distributing Food Responsibly:
Each time that we order produce from farms and wholesalers, we keep our orders as trim as possible, to minimize the potential for food to go to waste.At the end of each week we distrubute leftover produce amongst Boston Organics employees, and donate any additional produce to Food for Free.
