10 May, 2021: You all know how we value transparency and talking openly about everything we do, even our screw ups. So writing this note feels a bit wrong to me. These aren’t exactly secrets per se, more like a skunkworks that we just haven’t talked much about. This is going to be a long-ish post but I want to… Read More
26 April, 2021: We’re trying to figure out digital marketing. I keep feeling like I just have to hold my nose. We used a company called Marketerhire (bad name I know, but at least it saves me from explaining what they do!) They connected us with a digital marketing specialist. He’s smart and fun to work with and has the… Read More
27 March, 2021: browse meal boxes I love Katalyst’s Hopped Kombucha. I found it a year or two ago at Pemberton Farms Marketplace. Katalyst Kombucha is from Greenfield, MA, and they are buying the hops from Four Star Farms in Northfield. I grew up almost walking distance from Four Star Farms. I’ve been playing around with non-alcoholic drinks that are fun and… Read More
14 March, 2021: “I have okra. What do I make?” That was a text I sent to Pushpir back in 2015. He ran my favorite Indian restaurant (Guru the Caterer, still in operation today but under different management). We got to know one another and I would shoot him text messages when I had an ingredient so that he could guide… Read More
2 February, 2021: To celebrate the snow we’re giving everybody $10 off the Snowed in Box. Use coupon SNOWDAY10 on your app. It’s good until Sunday. We’re sold out for this Thursday, but we’re taking orders for every Thursday through the rest of February. I hear that if we sell out every week it basically guarantees a snowy Feb ; )That’s my… Read More
22 January, 2021: My sister Asa and my best friend Alex met at a Super Bowl party in my tiny apartment when I was in grad school. Ever since then (Alex is now my brother-in-law) the Super Bowl has held a bit of extra meaning for our family. We don’t miss it. And as you may have guessed, food plays a central… Read More

4 December, 2020: A quick COVID-19 update. One of our employees tested positive for Covid-19 today 12/4/20. We are thankful they promptly let us know because that’s allowing us to follow all CDC guidelines including contact tracing, cleaning, etc. Our restaurant at Copley Square (CloverBBY) will be closed this weekend for a deep clean. Unfortunately isn’t a remarkable announcement at… Read More
3 December, 2020: Did you hear the news? We’ve been cooking up our first of 3 holiday boxes.First up: a Clover Hanukkah Discovery Box. With the help of Rabbi Dolinger, we’ve been on a journey through the beautiful, symbolic, and delicious food of Hanukkah. Think sweet potato latkes with Autumn Hills Orchard apple sauce; matzo ball soup made with Macomber turnips from the… Read More
1 December, 2020: Ayr here. That’s me with my family getting ready to eat Clover Thanksgiving. We worked hard to build something that was delicious, affordable, and funneled money to MA farmers who encountered big challenges this year. Thanks to your support we were able to write checks to small businesses like Michael Docter (root veg), Ann Harris (apples), Czajkowski Farm (brussels), Plimoth Gristmill (cornmeal), Amber… Read More
