Highland Park Drop-off

Map

Location

- Highland Park, Pittsburgh
- The drop site is located at 5637 Rippey Street. It is close to the Home Depot off of Penn Circle.

Basic Description of this Drop-site Program

We determin what we have ready and available for that week. We then hand pick the produce, wash it, bag the parishables (lettuce, spinach, green beans...etc), and fill each personal crate to the correct amount depending on Regular or Advanced Membership. Next we deliver it to the designated drop site. Early in the season it is very difficult to produce enough diversity of crops to fullfill all of the choices therefore we do supplement with local free-range eggs, honey from the bees that pollinate our crops, homemade jams/jellies, and local organic cheese.
