How to get a Passover Box from Clover

Kiernan March 9, 2026

Every year, just after Valentine’s Day, we start getting the same question in from customers: Will there be a Passover Box this year? Sometimes the pleas are more direct, sometimes more colorful. The glories of the mushroom Chopped Liver and romesco spread on matzoh are a common theme. An NYC-based friend of mine, Sarah, often DRIVES UP TO BOSTON to claim one! So I’m happy to report, yes, the box is now live! We’ll be delivering 2 days this year – March 30 and March 31.

Espresso Cupping with Derek from Speedwell

Kiernan February 19, 2026

Last week, Derek from Speedwell Coffee came to our weekly General Manager meeting to teach us all about espresso via a cupping session. “Cupping” is a methodical way of learning about the flavor, aroma, and body of coffee beans and involves smelling and tasting the espresso through a series of precise steps: pouring perfectly-temperatured water over dry grounds, creating a crust at the top of the cup; breaking the crust and raking a spoon through the crust just so; slurping (and thus aerating) the finished brew. Roasters will often use cupping to test out new beans. My favorite part was Derek’s fervent…

Clover@TD Garden in January!

Kiernan January 13, 2026

if you tune into the Bruins vs. Red Wings game tonight (1.13) at 7:30, you’ll be seeing Chickpea Fritters, Fresh-Cut Rosemary French Fries, and the Clover logo all over TD Garden. Clover was chosen by TD Bank for a “Small Business Takeover” of the arena! Plus, if you’re coming to TD Garden tonight or anytime in January– we’ve launched a 1-month pop-up at Balcony 302 on Level 7, so you can watch the Celtics or Bruins with a Mushroom Popper and Kevin’s Chocolate Chip Cookie in hand.

Welcome the Sonoma Chickpea

Kiernan September 9, 2025

Ever since joining Clover, I think a lot about chickpeas. A. LOT. I think about the nutty-buttery flavor they have raw, the deep savory edge they get when cooked, their creamy richness when blended up in our housemade hummus. I think about their protein punch (one cup = 14.5 grams of the good stuff, 20% of your recommended daily amount), their high fiber, iron, and Vitamin B count. I think about how pretty they are, with that distinctive curved ridge and little pointed peak that tells you this ain’t any old bean: THIS IS CHICKPEA.

Julia Child, veggie-style

Kiernan August 5, 2025

August 15th is Julia Child’s Birthday, and the Clover kitchen crew decided there was no more fitting way to honor our former neighbor than with a French-inflected meal box packed with Julia-inspired fare.. Our neighbor? Yes! Julia lived in Cambridge about one mile down the road from CloverHUB and shot her famous TV shows right from the kitchen of her house—but don’t try to pop in now: her kitchen was disassembled piece by piece and shipped off to the Smithsonian. Inside the Julia Child’s Birthday Box you’ll get…

“Luke, I am your Clover”: Our Star Wars Box Strikes Back

Kiernan April 25, 2025

May the 4th is Star Wars Day. Whatever your Star Wars is—new episodes of “Andor,” hate-watching Jar Jar in the prequels, or reveling in the Luke-Leia-Han classics—you’re going to need a full day of intergalactic treats fit for bingeing. Enter, our May the Fourth Box. Every year we tweak this box a bit. This year features the return of a much-loved classic: our Bantha Meat Gyros! (For the Bantha unacquainted, click here.) Also in this year’s box:

Meet the Mushroom Popper

Kiernan January 15, 2025

Once designated the “Best Sandwich in Boston” by Boston Magazine, we’re bringing back one of our most popular seasonal specials. While long-time Cloverites will know it as The Bridgewater, it’s now going by The Mushroom Popper (or M-POP, as it’s designated on our internal systems.) Inspired by the unforgettable jalapeño poppers once served at The Charlie Horse Tavern*, The Mushroom Popper features crimini mushrooms from Rhode Island Mushroom Co, fried to perfection then glazed with our kicky honey-sriracha sauce. We lighten it up with ribbons of…

Why not throw a party this New Year’s?

Kiernan December 28, 2024

New Year’s Eve is no time to be buried in the kitchen, so we pack our NYE Box with Clover fan favorites that come together fast and encourage a night of Finger-Food Feasting. Can you think of anything better than digging into bubbling hot Brussels Sprout Cheese dip on a freezing cold Boston night? Or scooping up our bright nutty Romesco sauce as the clock ticks to midnight? And our breakthrough Carrot Lox will have you resolving to spare more salmon in the year ahead.

The Brand New Sweet Potato Box

Kiernan October 15, 2024

When we were thinking about what special seasonal veggies to build new fall celebration boxes around, one tuber spoke to the Clover Chefs above all others: Beauty, thy name is Sweet Potato. We get our Sweet Potatoes from the best producer in the world—Ray Young at Next Barn Over Farm in Western Mass. Ray’s sandy soil is so perfect for growing sweet potatoes, they call it “sugar sand.” Next Barn’s sweet potatoes are complex, nutrient-packed, and beautiful.

A is for Apple Box

Kiernan October 9, 2024

Right when I finished the final bite of my Apple Box last year, I started to think about when I could order it again. I love apples in the fall, but when I’m meal-planning, I usually opt to just pack the apples as they are—crisp, round, and raw. The Apple Box opened my eyes to using Apples as an ingredient.
