Springtime is for CSA’s!

Pedal-Powered delivery for Local Farm Shares

It’s shaping up to a beautiful spring here in New England. We’re replacing our winter coats and gloves for sunglasses and shorts. If you are like us, your fridge is in some serious need of spring cleaning. Why not fill it up with fresh, locally grown produce?

Just in time for the spring, we are very excited to offer local farm shares delivered right to your door via Metro Pedal Power. Choose which CSA is right for you, and sign up through our website.

Shared Harvest CSA (winter only)

Lionette’s Market CSM (Year-Round) has developed a family legacy of supporting local farms and producers by operating a “local-only” retail store in Boston’s South End. Now offering home delivery of a variety of market share options, meat, dairy and other products.

Harvard Book Store – Green Delivery!

We have a word problem for you:

a.) Mary enjoys shopping for books by driving to the large national chain bookstore at the mall.

b.) Greg often orders books online, paying premium to expedite his orders from across the country.

c.) Sam purchases books from the Harvard Book Store website, and has those books delivered to his doorstep by Metro Pedal Power the same day he ordered it!

Which one of these book worms is making an effort to support their local economy and their environment?

The answer was recently featured in the Boston Phoenix, who picked Metro Pedal Power’s alliance with the Harvard Book Store as one of the best shopping experiences the local community could ask for. Local book lovers can order books through the harvard.com website, and their purchases will be delivered by Metro Pedal Power’s emission-free vehicles. In-stock items ship the same day.
