Caprese Salad Round Two...

By Anonymous -



I truly am addicted to caprese salads..  They are one of my all time favorite meals..  Yes, meals.  LOL.
Lately, my DD has been out of town, so I was eating a fresh caprese salad each night, with fresh basil from my garden.
Heirloom tomatoes, garden tomatoes, you name it, they all are fabulous on a caprese salad.. 

Slice them up, chop them up.  Slice or chop the buffalo mozzarella.  Drizzle with reduced balsamic or just pour it from a bottle..

Chiffonade the basil, and you are ready!

Get out there and make one..  Or two.. I promise you will love it!

The Produce Box vs. The Produce Aisle

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.

CSA vs. TPB: How do they compare?

Guest post from a TPB Neighborhood Coordinator A few years ago, I thought being a part of a Community Supported Agriculture (CSA) program was the best way to source my family's fresh food. It’s a great way to support a local food system: invest in the farm at the start of the growing season and get a weekly share of the crops throughout the harvest. It wasn't until a couple of years later that I joined The Produce Box and realized how much it operated like a CSA, but worked much better for my family. Wondering how they compare? Check this out: Cost. While the cost for the whole season is comparable, a CSA requires a hefty payment at the beginning of the season (or several large payments spread out over the season) to help the farmers procure, implement, and maintain everything they need for the year's crops. Paying a small enrollment fee with The Produce Box and then only when you order (every week, every other week - whatever works for you!) for a Box is much m
