11 September, 2020: When COVID hit I got the chance to step back and look at Clover in some very high-level ways. I realized something in those first few weeks that felt like a bit of a revelation for me.A Clover Meal costs approximately $10 If we take away the ability to choose from a range of options it would… Read More
8 September, 2020: As we say every year, a big thank-you to Sharan for coming up with this crowd favorite back when he was an intern in our kitchen. The Sharan is Sharan’s take on an Indochinese dish he grew up eating called Gobi Manchurian. A spicy, peppery, sweet spread, fried cauliflower, Napa cabbage slaw, and puffed rice noodles. You… Read More
31 August, 2020: On Thursday, Clover Boxes traveled south! We put out the call to Providence, hoping to get about 15 orders, and ended up sending about 40 boxes to Rooms and Works and CIC PVD. Thank you Barry for helping put this together and making everything run smoothly. We’ve been really interested in the idea of doing buying clubs… Read More
27 June, 2009: Colin made this up for us. Pretty fun. So for all of you wishing you had your own Clover truck, just hit print and pull out your scissors. Read More
29 August, 2020: Tomatoes are beautiful right now. We did a whole week of tomato recipes on In Ayr’s Kitchen. This picture is from the Canning episode on Thursday. You can watch them all on the Youtube channel or on the website. Read More
25 August, 2020: Early this morning we got a delivery of Union Square Donuts to the HUB. All the donuts have gone out at this point, so if you snagged a meal box, let us know what you think of it (and the donuts). If you want to try a meal box and this colorful donut sweetens the deal, you… Read More
24 August, 2020: We had a few issues with the Youtube stream, so we’re posting the gazpacho video here too. Sorry if you tried to watch but were unable to. If you’ve never had Gazpacho, it’s a Spanish chilled soup that’s perfect for this time of year. Tomatoes, onions, peppers, zero cooking. We’ve been making it ever since the truck… Read More
19 August, 2020: Fruity, mild, spicy, sweet, savory. I didn’t know there were so many types of peppers until I visited Kitchen Garden Farm. If you signed up for a Seasonal Meal Box, you’ll see two surprises: Bulgarian Carrot Peppers (can you guess which ones those are?) and Trinidad Perfume Peppers. Thanks Tim and Caroline for growing these beautiful peppers!!… Read More
11 May, 2012: This is a T-shirt I’ve been wanting to do for a long time. Mostly because I love rhubarb so so much. But I’m not very happy with how it turned out. Notice how large the food icon is on most of our shirts. On this one it’s pretty tiny. Which is really too bad. I’ve also heard… Read More
10 August, 2020: These yummy cookbooks (from our friends at Juliet in Somerville) will be tucked into all Clover Meal Boxes for the next few weeks. The recipes are all about cooking with the changing seasons. If you haven’t browsed the meal box menu in a while, visit the Clover App and be sure to change your location to CloverBOX. Read More
6 August, 2020: Our At Home Meal Box program now has drinks! We intended to launch these a while ago, but we were waiting for these nifty space-saving drink bags to arrive. We made 3 versions (an Iced Coffee Box, a Slightly Sweet Drinks Box, and an Unsweetened Drinks/Tea Box). They’re $35 each and will get you about 12 beverages.… Read More
31 July, 2020: Starting tomorrow, all the Clover Meal Boxes will have a little gift from the Mass Farmers Market – $10 to spend on produce. If you get one, head out to a Boston area farmers market (there’s a list in your box of which markets are participating), exchange it for a voucher and let us know what you… Read More
24 July, 2020: Since we can’t ask for your feedback in person, we’ve been doing online surveys of those of you who have bought Meal Boxes. One of the things people said in our last customer survey was that they wished the boxes changed more often. I guess we did train you all to expect that as Clover customers :… Read More
12 May, 2009: This is Thomas. He flew in from Paris to interview for a job. I told him before we came that this is a minimum wage position. He said OK. I said it again. He said OK. Thomas has been working at the Rose bakery in Paris (I’ll have to check it out next time I’m there), and… Read More
22 July, 2020: Lucia, Ayr, and I were talking recently about older forms of marketing: posters, flyers, mailers, word of mouth. What people now call grassroots. And it made me wonder – we’ve been looking for a couple things lately – can our community provide? So I put out a couple of “calls for help” on social media this week.… Read More
