After-Hours Produce Pick-Up Newsletter 
Greetings!
 
The OHSU Farmers market is thrilled to finally bring you the new Produce Pick-Up program. Thank you for your interest. July 8th will be the 1st pick-up after the Tuesday Farmers Market.
 
Why this program? Many of our busy staff at OHSU cannot make it to the market from 11:30-3:30 but want to support local farmers and bring home some fresh goods. This program will ensure a better sales day for our vendors and make the most seasonal, fresh, delicious food accessible after work. There are a few important details to know in order to make this a smooth and delightful offering. Please read on .. for the how, where & when!
Enjoy!
How the program works
Canvas Bag
Each week the Farmers Market manager will work with vendors to select items for a bag of local products, including mostly vegetables & fruit and occasionally bread, cheese, pesto, eggs, flowers and other goods available at the market, depending on feedback from participants. Cost of the bag is $17.
 
1. Read the list of goods that will be in the July 8th bag in the following  newsletter and decide if it sounds scrumptious to you.
 
2. You will have between Wednesday, July 2nd, 8am until  Thursday, July 3rd, 8pm to pre-purchase the produce bag at "It's All Good" on the 9th floor of south hospital. You can also purchase a canvas market bag with the OHSU Farmers Market Logo there for $12 to use as your produce pick-up bag (comes with a thermal insert). If you would like one of the $4.00 or $5.00 or $6.00 offerings, tell the cashier to add that to your bill. 1st week limit is 100 bags and 100 of each of the $4, 5,& 6 offerings. You must purchase a full bag to get one of the $4, $5, or $6 offerings. You cannot buy those offerings alone. YOU MUST KEEP YOUR RECEIPT AS PROOF OF PAYMENT.
 
3.  BRING YOUR RECEIPT  and a BAG on Tuesday night when you come to pick up your food. NO RECEIPT, NO PICK-UP. Please allow yourself 5 minutes for you to fill your own bag from the listed selections. A Food and Nutrition employee will be there to assist you. 
 
Where to go and when
You must be available to pick up your food on Tuesday afternoons from 4-7pm just outside of the Hatfield Atrium's Plaza Cafe, near the South Hospital Bus stop. We will have a 10 x 10 booth set up outside with boxes of produce and goods waiting for you! If you do not come by 7pm, your purchase will not be filled and you will lose your money.
Your feedback will help guide our selections, so please let us know your thoughts and which products you are most interested in. Thank you again for your continued support of locally produced foods. Your purchase promotes the health of our future.
 
Sincerely,
