Fourth of July Picnic Essentials From Local, Independant Farms

Summer farmer's markets are what our foodie dreams are made of. And, for the Fourth of July, nothing could be more appropriate than supporting locally grown, natural farmers and artisans who are making better food for our families their life's work. It turns out our obsession with farm-fresh produce is actually quite patriotic!

Fresh, local summer farm food is perfect for every kind of classic Fourth of July gathering. We're turning to the farm stands and delivery services like Out of the Box Collective for chicken that's raised free-range without hormones and veggies grown GMO-free. If you're not accustomed to eating local foods, this summer holiday makes a great excuse to get involved! 

We're spotlighting Out of the Box's 4th of July delivery box as a fun and genius way to get started with plans for the holiday. The box is packed to the brim with good eats from great sources: corn on the cob, barbecue chicken and watermelon from local farms, plus recipe ingredients for making a few new classics like roasted mushroom burgers, and nicoise salad. Here are all the details...

We're supporting dozens of small-scale local farmers and artisans committed to sustainable practices as stewards of the land. These farmers and artisans are today’s beacon of freedom and independence from a food system that is sometimes less than ideal. Celebrate Independence Day this year with locally sourced organic food and support the mass migration back toward healthy, local, naturally grown foods!

Our Independence Day Box negates every worry you may have over frankenfoods and processed ingredients. We love providing our delivery boxes throughout the year, but it's especially fulfilling on the 4th of July, knowing that families are able to more easily source and support small farms and safe and natural foods we're all trying to eat more of these days. Getting everything you need to cook with in one box is a fun lesson for kids on farming and cooking too! Let's celebrate our right to make healthy choices about your food, in the true spirit of American liberty. Happy Independence Day from Out of the Box Collective![olists num=1][olists num=2]
