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.
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.
