BU Farmer's Choice Boxes

HOME

Late Summer Box

BU Dining Services is partnering with Ward's Berry Farm to provide set boxes of seasonal fruits and vegetables for pre-ordering. Each week farmer Jim Ward selects a variety of local produce(most of which is picked that morning at Ward's Berry Farm in Sharon, MA) to fill the boxes. The contents of the boxes vary from week to week as the season progresses, so you not only get fresh produce, but you also gain a real feel for our local cycle of crops. You can get a good idea of the variety and quantity in each box by checking out our Facebook page, where you can view the contents lists from last season's boxes. You can also see when our crops are usually in season on the Crop Calendar page.

Answers to most of your questions about Farmer's Choice Boxes can be found on the FAQ page.
