Looking around today, you notice a few trends
happening, more people are opting for local, fresh food while having everything
delivered from clothing you can rent and return to samples of the top makeup
companies. Wouldn’t it be great if we could have both, local goods delivered
right to our house? Well, now we can with Boston’s newest delivery service-
Boson & Bale.
Created by Boston locals Michelle and Elise,
Boston & Bale was thought up after stumbling up a hidden farmers market in
Cambridge. As many small and local businesses know, getting recognized in a
world of over advertising, big box stores with lower pricing, can be pretty
tough, if not almost impossible. Boston & Bale carefully picks local
designers and companies to be included in their delivery service, and with each
month containing new products, there’s no telling what local maker you’ll
discover next. Best of all, if your more interested in a certain product or
perhaps aren’t a fan of chocolate (what?!), Boston & Bale packages boxes
tailored to every subscriber, so you’ll be sure to love (and use) every product
you receive.
If I still haven’t convinced you to try
Boston & Bale, the company is also donating 10% of their monthly sales to a
local charity or organization. Local products sent to you by a local company
who gives back to the local community, all this adds up to you being one
sustainable, local lover. And let’s be honest, what’s better than shopping and
being local? If you ask me, nothing! Why else would I write this blog?!
