Since I posted the first announcement, enough people have responded
to make Carnegie Mellon a confirmed delivery site every Thursday.
---------------
ORGANIC VEGETABLES & FRUITS
fresh from the farm
delivered to sites around Pittsburgh
For $350, you can subscribe to organic vegetable and fruit delivery
once a week, for the summer. 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.
Planned pickup points include:
Squirrel Hill Edgewood Fox Chapel Worthington
Oakmont Mt Lebanon McKeesport CMU
Shareholders can visit the farm 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 will be accepted even after June 20. 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
