New Menu

We hope you had a wonderful summer. With autumn approaching, it's time for Basil Tree Catering to roll out its new 2011-2012 menu. This year's menu is printed on FSC certified, 100% recycled paper. In an effort to reduce paper we have chosen to mail only to customers who have ordered within the last year. If you do not receive a paper copy and would like one, just click here and fill out our menu request form and we'll send one out immediately. Our menu will be mailed out this week or any day now but it is also available as a pdf on our website. Click here to view or print the menu.

Waltham Fields Community Farm

Basil Tree is excited to be involved in community farming at its best. Waltham Fields Community Farms promotes local agriculture and food access through their farming operations and educational programs. Basil Tree Catering is donating soup to the Empty Bowls Dinner and some of our staff will be volunteering to help on the farm this summer/fall. It is a dynamic organization and we hope you will take a look and see the great work they are doing
