Want affordable, healthy, fresh fruits and vegetables on a regular basis?

Sign Up Now!!!

 

The Grub Box is a modified CSA (community supported agriculture) program that allows residents of West Oakland to subscribe to a seasonal, culturally appropriate bag of organic fruits and vegetables from our Farm and Gardens and other small farms on a weekly or bi-monthly basis at an affordable price.

There are 2 types of subscriptions:

1) West Oakland Resident Box (We now accept EBT!)

Available to those who live, work, or worship in West Oakland, resident grub boxes are provided at a low rate, $12/box, and are delivered to key sites in West Oakland for you to pick up.

Come visit our stands, sample fresh fruits and veggies, and taste sample dishes and recipes, and learn more about health and nutrition. Click here for Resident grub box information or contact Outreach Coordinator Erica Torrence.

Every TUESDAY our youth interns run two Grub Box Distribution Sites.  Pick up your Grub Box at:

936 Brockhurst: between Market and San Pablo - from 3:00pm until 5:30pm 

DeFremery Park Recreational Center: 1651 Adeline St. from 5:30pm - 7:00pm

2) Sponsorship Box

Be a supporting member of our low-income Grub Box program and sign up as a sponsor. Purchase a weekly or every other week subscription and you will not only receive high quality fruits and vegetables but also support a West Oakland family to receive their produce at a discounted rate. Distribution sites are Tuesdays at 936 Brockhurst from 3:00-5:30pm; DeFremery Park Recreational Center (1651 Adeline St.) from 5:30-7:00; and 1043 54th St (off San Pablo) from 3pm on, until April 28th, 2009.
