Matt regularly appears with Jordan Rich on “Connoisseur’s Corner” which airs on WBZ AM 1030 (http://boston.cbslocal.com) weekdays at 11:55 AM.
The following is a “script” for one of Matt’s forthcoming segments:
The old song says “amber waves of grain…from sea to shining sea,” but what would you say if I told you that the next revolution in farming and the greatest potential for feeding this great nation was in Millis, MA?
As the nation’s largest vertical grower, Fresh Box Farms is revolutionizing and leading the movement by producing Kosher, non-GMO greens in stackable units, thereby saving space, soil, and vital supplies such as water. Their environmentally-friendly and economically-stable methods allow them to bring their great greens to people and places that may not have been so privileged before, including many of the urban areas that have been plagued with so-called “food deserts” and a lack of healthy food. Though their products are available in stores, they can also be ordered directly from the website which also offers simple but enticing recipes for salads, main courses, and even smoothies.
So while the hydroponic industry in MA may be growing for other reasons these days, it is good to know that we can get some great greens even without a doctor’s note (but with his or her blessing).
