Oasis Farm & Fishery is excited to continue offering our affordable veggie share, a box of locally-grown, seasonal produce. This program aims to conveniently increase Homewood residents’ access to healthy, fresh foods while supporting local community-based organizations that prioritize grassroots engagement and environmental justice.
Each Deeply Rooted Veggie Share box, prepared and delivered on a bi-weekly basis, will include a curated selection of in-season fruits and vegetables grown by The Bible Center’s Oasis Farm & Fishery Chatham and Grow Pittsburgh. Veggie Subscription customers can expect 8 to 10 produce items in each box weighing in at 4 lbs total and valued at approximately $25.
The Deeply Rooted Veggie Share will operate from May 13, 2022 to November 4, 2022. Customers have the option to choose between a full share, which will receive twelve boxes over the course of the 6 months, or a half share, which will receive six boxes of produce over the course of six months.
We believe that access to fresh, healthy food is a right and should not be limited by economic status. It is with this in mind that we offer a sliding scale of payment options. All The Deeply Rooted Veggie Shares will receive the same amount and quality of produce (5 lb box containing 8 to 10 items valued at approximately $25) regardless of the price you pay, but community members are provided with the opportunity to participate at the level of financial commitment they are comfortable with.
