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

In article <4nsrgs$4bd@cantaloupe.srv.cs.cmu.edu> ph+@cs.cmu.edu (Paul Heckbert) writes: > ORGANIC VEGETABLES & FRUITS > fresh from the farm > delivered to the CMU Child Care Center 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.
