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
