23 January, 2018: While we like to think all our food at Clover helps the environment, there’s something special about soup. When you eat a soup at Clover, you’re giving your dollars to farmers in New England, instead of distant suppliers, cutting down on transportation costs and packaging. You’re saving energy. We use no freezers or microwaves, and all the nutrients… Read More
22 January, 2018: When you eat a soup at Clover you’re helping fight climate change. You’re giving your dollars to farmers in New England, instead of distant suppliers, cutting down on transportation costs and packaging. You’re saving energy. We use no freezers or microwaves, and all the nutrients of our veggies stay intact instead of getting lost in the cooking process.… Read More
16 January, 2018: Go soups! If you click on this post you can see my little souper hero animation. You may have noticed we’re making lots of soups this winter. And while we believe all our food helps the environment, there’s something extra special about soup. We want everybody to eat more soup. Read on if you’re interested in learning… Read More
13 January, 2018: Were you able to try a medlar this weekend? If not, we will hopefully have them at most locations Monday and Tuesday, but we can’t guarantee them much longer. Medlar mania is hitting Boston hard, as we realized when we got a very special visitor to CloverDTX on Friday. Fabricio, who leads up communications at CloverDTX, sent… Read More
13 January, 2018: Hey, Longwood. Is there any area in Boston that has fewer places to get a drink? Well, we’re about to change that. First some backstory. When we opened CloverLMA, we noticed there was NOWHERE to get a beer. Ok, there was one place. The great Punter’s Point near Northeastern — and it just closed this winter! I will miss… Read More
12 January, 2018: Who would have thought? We launched the Medlar Sandwich yesterday. And it was a blockbuster. We sold 500 medlar sandwiches, and sampled around 500 more medlars and jam to folks who were curious. This is the type of ingredient you won’t find in most restaurants, definitely not fast food ones like ours. It’s hard to find (it… Read More
12 January, 2018: A bunch of us were having a meeting about the Public Release of the Clover App, coming in mid-February. And we’re all thinking about ways to make the app fun to use. Like, really fun. We want to incorporate some elements of surprise, some elements of playfulness. Jane said, “You know you can text a pizza emoji… Read More
23 December, 2017: You think you know everything about fruits, and then you meet a medlar. It comes into season in the winter. And it needs to “blet” (or rot, or ferment, however you want to call it) a little bit before it is yummy. For this reason, medlars have been used as metaphors (kinda inappropriate by today’s standards) by many… Read More
21 December, 2017: This is Kenny. Jenny and I invited him over to CloverHUB to taste this year’s Carrot Sandwich before it formally launches today. He’s a regular customer at CloverKND, and a grad student in chemistry at MIT. We got a very poetic letter from him through Facebook Messenger a while back asking us to bring back the Carrot Sandwich. Today… Read More
14 December, 2017: You might remember our first take at hummus bowls was a disaster. If you were a Kendall customer who tried hummus bowls back in August, sorry! Packaging, operations, communications were all a mess. We regrouped, and tested them again at CloverFIN, and it was a huge success (btw, if you’re craving those hummus bowls, they’ll likely appear… Read More
