Support Small Businesses: Introducing The Bites of Boston Fall Flavors Box
Here at Bites of Boston Food Tours our mission is to support other small, local businesses just like ourself, and in fact our entire business model runs on that mutual support. Covid-19 has had a HUGE impact on us and all of the small, local businesses that we work with to run our food tours. As things have progressed we could not just sit back and watch so many small, local, Boston businesses continue to suffer and we wanted to do something to help.
Thus, the Bites of Boston Self-Care Box was born. Our first Bites of Boston Box was a huge success and was received very well by the community who was also looking to support small, local businesses.
Since then we have launched three other boxes: the "Beantown" Coffee Lovers Box Collection, The Black-Owned Boston Business Box, and the Local Mocha S'Mores Gift Box.
Of course, we couldn't stop there...
We are excited to introduce you to our fifth "pivot project" box, the Bites of Boston Fall Flavors Box!
Created during quarantine as a way to support our fellow local, small business owners, the Fall Flavors Box is our fifth in the collection of Bites of Boston Boxes!
With the desire to capture the many flavors of fall that we know and love, we have hand picked each of these special items to curate this special box and bring the flavors of fall right into your home.
The Fall Flavors Box includes six thoughtfully chosen items from small, local businesses in Boston to help you get your fall fix all day long and keep you going as we continue to weather a global pandemic. This box is a great way to treat yourself or to gift to someone who's a fellow fall-lover.
The Bites of Boston Fall Flavors Box includes the following items:
Soy Wax Candle in 'Oh My Gourd!' Scent by Cannon Candles
Founded by Madison Cannon
Coming from Connecticut, Madison began candle making just for fun and to get a little creative. She develops educational leadership initiatives in higher education in Boston and has turned an after-work hobby into a side hustle. When she's not working her 9-to-5 or making candles from her home in Medford, she's baking for Deep Cuts Deli & Brewery in Somerville.
This pumpkin, chai, and vanilla scented candle brings all the warmth and spice of fall into your space.
Gourmet Assorted Fall Marshmallows by Sweet Lydia's
Owned by Shannon Arenburg
Shannon Arenburg is a second generation business owner of Sweet Lydia's. Enrolled in the Baking and Pastry program at SNHU, she became Sweet Lydia's first intern in the early days of the business, working alongside Lydia. Over the next few years, Shannon continued to work and learn from Lydia while she completed school. She took some time away to learn from other pastry chefs in Boston and even studied abroad in Florence, Italy. But, once Lydia was ready to pass on the business to someone else, she knew Shannon was the right candidate. Coming back to Sweet Lydia's felt like coming home.
The assorted fall marshmallow pack includes two of each of the following flavors: pumpkin spice, apple cider, spiced chai and caramel. Amazing in a hot drink or made into a fall-themed s'more!

Founded by Jason McCrea
A scientist with a background in chemistry and an abiding appreciation for natural ingredients, Jason McCrea is a man possessed by the single, simple idea to make the best caramel in the world—nothing less.
