Charlestown Firm Extends Produce Business In Town

The following press release was submitted by Boston Organics. It was edited only for format.

With increasingly busy schedules and the abundance of unhealthy foods available in offices, it can be difficult to maintain a healthy lifestyle in the workplace. Boston Organics, an organic produce delivery company based in Charlestown, is on a mission to help local Charlestown businesses improve the health and happiness of their employees by delivering boxes of fresh, organic fruits to offices on a regular basis. 

With a mission to provide easy access to healthy food, Boston Organics has been delivering organic produce to households across the Boston area since 2002. The company recently began providing fresh fruit for offices as the demand for healthy snacks has increased in the workplace. For businesses that would like to provide an alternative to vending machines and unhealthy snacks, BostonOrganics regularly delivers organic fruit boxes which contain a variety of fresh fruits, including bananas, apples, pears, and citrus or seasonal fruits. 

“Many people want to eat healthily and at the same time support a healthy food system,” says Jeff Barry, Founder/Owner of Boston Organics. “However, right now it is difficult for many people to carry this philosophy into the workplace due to the lack of convenient, healthy options.”

Providing healthy snacks at work not only improves employee health; studies have shown that healthy workplace initiatives can increase productivity and improve a business’ bottom line. “We want to make it easier for companies to illustrate their commitment to health and achieve the important goal of improving employee productivity and loyalty,” says Barry.  

Boston Organics sources a variety of fresh fruits and vegetables from organic farms throughout New England. During seasons when sourcing local organic fruit is difficult, Boston Organics sources fruit from farms outside the northeast that follow organic and fair trade practices. In addition to fruit, Boston Organics offers local specialty items such as organic chocolate, nuts, coffee, and tea. 

Boston Organics is now delivering to businesses in Charlestown on Mondays, on a weekly or biweekly basis, without long-term commitments or delivery fees. Interested businesses can find more information and sign up atwww.bostonorganics.com/office.
