As we start out on the post-Locavore blog journey, we’re taking the blog in a new direction. We’ll try to focus on new businesses in and around Somerville or lesser-known gems that you SHOULD know about. We’ll also be keeping the posts much shorter and more frequent. So with no further ado….
- The New Amsterdam Project is a bike-powered delivery service that has been in the news alot lately. They are members of Cambridge Local First, and we’re looking for ways to partner with them as well. Check out their latest offering, which may be a great solution for you: Local Delivery from the Harvest Co-op
- Did you know we have a Fair Trade Chocolate Manufacturer in Somerville? Taza Chocolate is a member and have a very cool outlook on business. I encourage you to check out their website and their products. You can find them in a lot of local businesses, including Grand, Dave’s Fresh Pasta and True Grounds.
- Soon to be member, Methok just opened in Union Square @ 62 Summer St. Tsering Lha, owner and operator, has brought us an amazing collection of handcrafted products from Tibet, India, Nepal and many other nations. Check them out here …and if you’re wondering: Methok is the Tibetan word for Flower.
That’s all for this time. As always, if you want to recommend a business, add a comment!
Keep it local – Keep it fresh,
Joe

Hi Joe,
I’d like to recommend the newly relocated Bowl and Board. It is a family owned business. You should talk to the owner, Mark about his focus on buying local and leaving a small footprint. Great stuff!
