Featured Item
Sweet, fragrant, and wonderfully juicy, mangoes bring a tropical flavor to this week’s box. Although they prefer warmer climates, mango trees can grow in San Diego’s mild subtropical pockets—particularly in protected locations with plenty of sun and little frost. Enjoy mango fresh, blended into smoothies, tossed into salsa, or paired with lime and chile.
TipKeep firm mangoes at room temperature until they become slightly soft and fragrant. Once ripe, refrigerate them and enjoy within about five days.

Supporting local farms helps preserve a diverse food system, one with more varieties, greater resilience, and more possibilities for what can be grown close to home.
