FOMWS MT. WASHINGTON PRODUCE COLLECTIVE

In 2009, FOMWS created the Mt. Washington Produce Collective. The Collective is a group of caring parents and neighbors which supports classroom gardens, campus beautification, and sustainability projects at the school through the sale of weekly produce boxes filled with healthy pesticide-free fruits and vegetables.

The Produce Collective is a subscription program, where members receive a weekly box of farm-fresh produce delivered directly to the doors of Mt. Washington Elementary school.  Sign up in advance online at www.eroots.org and order your box in weekly or bi-weekly (every other week) installments.

Boxes will be available for pick-up outside the Parent Center every Thursday from 2:30 to 6:00. For just $23.00/box you receive:
  • fresh, locally grown fruits and vegetables for your family;
  • fun recipes centered around the contents of your box (delivered electronically via a weekly newsletter);
  • $3.00 from each box goes back to support our school’s classroom gardens, campus beautification and sustainability projects; and
  • a portion of your purchase helps provide education and food access initiatives for families of modest means. A great value for you, your family, and your community. 
 Sign up today at www.eroots.org. Join us on Facebook at Mt. Washington Produce Collective. Also visit our garden committee Blog (Click here). Thank you for supporting our school!
