		ORGANIC VEGETABLES & FRUITS
		fresh from the farm

		delivered to the CMU Child Care Center

For $350, you can subscribe to organic vegetable and fruit delivery
once a week, for the summer.  The closest delivery point will be the
CMU Child Care Center in the Morewood Gardens building at the corner of
Forbes & Morewood.  The produce is harvested at the Greater Pittsburgh
Community Food Bank Farm, near Kittanning, and delivered the same day.
A subscription "share" will amply supply the weekly vegetable component
of a diet for 2 adults & 2 children: about a bushel box a week
(12"x12"x18").  The delivery season is mid-June through late October.

This year, the planned crops are:

    corn	tomatoes	lettuce
    beans	peppers		spinach
    peas	potatoes	cucumbers
    broccoli	melons		many types of herbs

and more than 20 others.

Shareholders can visit the farm anytime throughout the season.  Half
and partial shares can be privately arranged by groups or individuals
but the "share" itself must be purchased in full from the Food Bank
Farm.  Subscriptions are available on a first-come first-serve basis so
sign up now.  To receive a brochure & the Shareholder's Farm Agreement
which describes the harvest of vegetables & fruits in more detail, or
to answer your questions, call

    Mike Gable at the Food Bank Farm: 412.297.3472;
	    or at the Food Bank: 412.672.4949.

In addition to the CMU Child Care Center, other pickup points include:

    Squirrel Hill	Edgewood	Fox Chapel
    Oakmont		Mt Lebanon	McKeesport

My wife and I have subscribed for several years and we can vouch for the
quality of the food -- far tastier than your typical supermarket produce.
Please do not email me questions, however; I'm the messenger.   -Paul Heckbert

According to Mike Gable, they have not yet committed to using the Child Care
Center as a drop off point---that decision will depend on whether there is
sufficient subscriber interest.
