Places to get vegetables during Shmitta Year in Jerusalem

If you want to observe Shmitta, there are a few places that you can get fruits and vegetables.  One way is to buy a subscription to אוצר הארץ  http://www.otzarharetz.co.il/  I bought this, and the vegetables are in good condition, You can go to a selected list of stores to get them. You get a a book of coupons and a magnetic card.  The coupons are good the whole year if you misplace them for a month. :)
You pay for the vegetables a lump sum for the whole year.  I got the lowest amount, 600NIS. We seem to need just about 50 NIS a month so it works out.  The stores are mostly little corner stores that I don't usually go to, so it is good for them to get new customers for other items as well. Most of the time the vegetables are well labeled so you know what you are buying.

I saw this when I was out doing errands, I'm thinking of calling them to see if they are Shmitta or not.   They seem to give out on Wednesdays.


Of course you can go to your local supermarket.  Yesh Chesid in Givat Shaul, has vegetables from outside of Israel, and also Nochri. they are in good condition and there are still a few types of fruits like pears that are harvested from last year.  The vegetables are well labeled.
