Turtle Box Blog

Weekly Pick for Delivery on 10-7

Each week we look to our farmers to find the best in season local and organic produce for you to enjoy. We take a lot of time to put together varied and interesting boxes, but we also make sure that it is easy for you to customize your box with exactly the items you want. 

The avocados this week will be coming from Homestead Organic Farms (Homestead, FL). They are a certified organic farm that grow a variety of tropical fruits in the summer months and green beans and other vegetables through the winter. These Florida avocados are different from the Hass avocados you might be familiar with. A Hass avocado has a buttery texture and is likely what you think of when you think of avocado. Florida avocados are sweeter with an earthy, tropical flavor. Which one is better? You be the judge!

Bellevue Gardens Organic Farm grew this week's butternut squash. There are a lot of great ways to use butternut squash, and one of our favorites it to make a roasted butternut squash soup.
