1. Read the list of goods included in next week's bag above and decide if it sounds scrumptious to you. If so...
 
2. You have between Wednesday, July 2nd, 8am until Thursday, July 3rd, 8pm during It's All Good store hours to pre-purchase the produce bag 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 and show it in order to pick up your bag. No exceptions.  You must also bring a bag to put your produce into!

3.  BRING YOUR RECEIPT  and a BAG on Tuesday night, July 8th,  between 4-7pm  to the Pick-Up site just outside the doors of the Hatfield Atrium near the Plaza cafe on the 9th floor (and close to the Bus Stop) to pick up your food. See map above.  We will have a 10 x 10 booth set up outside with boxes of produce and goods waiting for you! NO RECEIPT, NO PICK-UP. Please allow yourself 5-10 minutes to fill your own bag from the listed selections. A Food and Nutrition employee will be there to assist you.  If you do not come by 7pm, your purchase will not be filled and you will lose your money.
 

Why?
 
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.  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,
