Best of Boston 2022 - Best CSA
HOLY SH*T, you guys! We were named Best of Boston for Best CSA!
Wowweeee are we excited. It's a nod to all of our partners - farmers, growers, and producers - and to this amazing community of supporters. It's also a well deserved high-five to our intensely dedicated, hard-working team. A huge thank you to everyone who makes this possible. Shucks, you're just the best.
From the folks at Boston Magazine:
"Attention, proud commitment-phobes and control freaks: If you’ve previously held back from buying CSA shares because you didn’t want to get stuck in a fixed subscription term — or with mystery boxes of useless items — know you can skip weekly home deliveries from Family Dinner any time. Or just treat it like a grocery-ordering service, with single, customizable shipments of everything from butter to blueberries to ground bison from small New England farms that share your fiercely independent streak."

Incontrovertible Proof That Fall is Here?
This week the Topsfield fair kicks off to the delight of thousands of fairgoers and the general grumblings of grumpy locals such as yours truly. If giant pumpkins, fried butter on a stick and twirling rides that will push the limits of your intestinal fortitude aren't your thing, may I suggest some farm events?
Our friends at Iron Ox Farm in Hamilton, MA are hosting a pop up market; pottery, plants, pizza and snacks on the front lawn of their beautiful farm.
Next weekend Brookford Farm is hosting their Pumpkins and Puppets event. Pack the kids into your sensible Subaru and head north for some wholesome farm fun.
When the moon hits your eye...
It's pizza week here at Family Dinner which has a singing the ole Dean Martin chestnut "That's Amore" (yes, we are very, very old). I feel like everyone knows the first line, "When the moon hits your eye like a big pizza pie, that's amorrrreeee".
But the latter verse, which is just as bizarrely iconic, is lesser known:
"When the stars make you drool
Just like a pasta e fasule, that's amore"
