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. Given sufficient demand, one delivery
point will be the CMU Child Care Center in the Morewood Gardens
building at the corner of Forbes & Morewood. 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. The produce is harvested at
the Greater Pittsburgh Community Food Bank Farm, near Kittanning. Most
produce is picked the day of delivery.
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.
In addition to the CMU Child Care Center, other planned pickup points include:
Squirrel Hill Edgewood Fox Chapel Worthington
Oakmont Mt Lebanon McKeesport
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-served basis.
To receive a brochure & the Shareholder's Farm Agreement which
describes the harvest of vegetables & fruits in more detail, or to
answer any questions, call
Mike Gable at the Food Bank Farm: 412.297.3472;
or at the Food Bank: 412.672.4949.

My wife and I have subscribed for several summers 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
