Baked sweet potatoes

By Anonymous -
There is nothing like a sweet potato, baked, with butter and cinnamon.

So easy and so good for you (well, the potato is, not sure about the butter!)

All you have to do is wash the potatoes, and wash them well if you plan on eating the skins!


Poke a few holes in them.

Wrap in foil, I always make a big bunch of foil at the top for easy transporting.

 



Place on the grill.  They have to bake about an hour on the grill, depending on the heat and how big the potatoes are!



If you are just going to microwave, depending on the size, it will probably take between 8-12 minutes, for 2.  This also depends on the size of the potatoes and the strength of the microwave.

Unwrap, slice open, slap some butter and cinnamon on the top and gobble up!





:-)

Enjoy!

The Produce Box vs. The Produce Aisle

By -

If you’re trying to decide if a Produce Box membership is for you, you may be wondering, “Can’t I get this stuff at the grocery store? And is it cheaper there?” Well, the answer to both those questions would be sometimes. The grocery store doesn’t always have everything the farmers of North Carolina can offer.  And sometimes, you may not like the reasons WHY the grocery store is cheaper. Farmers make pennies per pound from the grocery stores, and they often have to wait 30-60 days (or MORE!) to get their payment. At The Produce Box, we pay every single one of our farmers when they deliver the food to us.  In addition to this, the produce at the grocery stores often comes from across the country (1500 miles on average!) or even other countries, and has traveled for days or weeks to get to you -- it's definitely not the most fresh choice or LOCAL by any means! Keep in mind, too, that by buying from us, you’re also supporting their effort to DO GOOD in our communities.

Growing Practices in NC: What do They Mean?

At TPB, our conviction is to BUY LOCAL FIRST, above all else. We advocate for supporting our NC farm-partners, and every week, we choose to buy from our neighbors, rather than ship products from California or other countries, organic or not. We are transparent about our farmers' practices, and leave it up to our members to determine their value system as it relates to buying organic, pesticide free, local, etc.  Here's a quick run-down of several farming methods and classifications you may see at farmers' markets, grocery stores and on our weekly menu as well. We identify these growing methods if they are applicable on the website ordering page:  ORGANIC:  This certification prohibits the use of chemical fertilizers, various synthetic substances, irradiation, sewage sludge, or genetically modified organisms (GMOs) in organic production.  It also prohibits antibiotic and synthetic hormone use in organic meat and poultry, requires 100% organic feed for organic
