It's Summer in New England which means it's time to grab more hot dogs and fried seafood than one person can reasonably handle. Personally, when I'm done smashing lobster rolls and French Fries into my face like a crazed Hungry, Hungry Hippo, I like to settle into a nice cobbler or short cake to really zero things out. It's simple math.

Working with other small local businesses is one of the highlights of our work. This week we are excited to team up with Carolyn's Farm Kitchen to bring her delicious pancake mix into your homes to level up your breakfast. Is there anything better than sitting in front of a giant pile of pancakes? (Am I the only one who will eat them cold, hours later? Maybe.)

It seems like eons ago that this photo was taken at our beloved old space at Foundation Kitchen. Tim and I were bright-eyed, bushy-tailed, and pleased as punch to be delivering a whopping 30 shares a week. We have grown quite a bit since then, moved into our own kitchen space and, thanks to you all, grown to doing almost 700 deliveries a week. With that growth we are also honing our processes to make them greener and more sustainable, while continuing to bring you the best food we can find! This week Shannon, the team, and I wanted to highlight some of those efforts.

This week we were lucky to partner with the folks at Urban Grape to be a part of their supper club. We packed bags of fresh pasta, burrata, baguettes and more for them to pair with wine and send off to their customers at their beautiful wine store in downtown Boston. From their site: "Urban Grape is a Black-owned and woman-owned small business dedicated to building community through beverage."

We wanted to share a few of these things with you, suggestions from the staff. It's sort of like a book club, only it's not just books, you don't have to see anyone or leave your house and you can still drink all the wine you like while enjoying them.

Often, when less well-known veggies come through the seasonal mix, we can only include them in the Double Shares given that they are very limited in quantity. This week Shannon knew it was Fiddlehead season and was determined to get them for everyone. She tracked down Fiddleheads with the ferocity of Indiana Jones seeking the Holy Grail in the Last Crusade and we hope you love them. (Can someone please tell the Millennials in the room who Harrison Ford is?)

Although we are adding some non-local items, we remain a business that celebrates all of the beautiful foods created in our local community. While rolling out these non-local items, we wanted to share a bit more about why we selected them and how we are sourcing them. Shannon, our Operations Manager and Veggie Sourcer extraordinaire, tells the story of these selections. - Erin
