23 January, 2018: We’re testing Justin Kelly’s suggestion for a sausage egg cheese breakfast sandwich at CloverHFI for a few more weeks. If you’re curious to try the next iteration of Impossible meat, head over to Central Square and give it a try. We may ask you to voice your opinion about whether this belongs on the menu everywhere at… Read More
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
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
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
14 December, 2017: We had a really incredible response to the Winter Moon Roots CSA. We had hoped we would sell 100 shares for Michael and his farm; final numbers are coming in at 300. Thanks to everyone who signed up – you’re all helping support organic farming right here in Massachusetts. The first pickup is Monday, December 18, from… Read More
6 December, 2017: That’s a Spicy Coconut Lentil soup being built at Clover Burlington the other week. We’re rolling out a few changes to the menu tomorrow. We’re hoping they make you love Clover more! If you stop by, help cheer on the crew. They’re adjusting to a lot of changes (where to put things, what time to prep things.)… Read More
21 November, 2017: We’re a few years into the project of using Clover as an outlet for local grain. We started by buying flour from Maine Grains and baking thousands of pita daily. By the way, if you’ve been upset by the pita from New York, our bread oven is back up and running as of this morning!!! Breakfast is… Read More
20 November, 2017: Ray, farmer at Next Barn Over, has been planting garlic. You can grow garlic too. Separate the head into single cloves. You leave the skin on each clove, and plant it. This won’t work with grocery store garlic, because those are sprayed to stop the clove from sprouting. So find some garlic from a farmer you trust.… Read More
