Restaurants and Stores
Since 2001 Blue Heron Organic Farm has been selling high quality certified organic produce to local chefs and store owners. We began with a few restaurants including Rialto at the Charles Hotel, and now sell to over a dozen fine restaurants and stores in the Boston and Cambridge area as well as the surrounding suburbs. Thank you for your interest in local, organic produce and for supporting small farms. If you are a returning chef please let us know if there is anything specific you would like for us to grow for you this season. If you haven't worked with us before please look over the following list of availability and, if interested, send me an email. We look forward to doing business with you,
