Shares sizes and schedule

2024 main season CSA shares run for 18 weeks and will begin the week of June 9th and
run through the week of October 13th,
with one week off for the 4th of July (6/30-7/6).

Our Share Sizes


We offer small and regular sized CSA shares on a weekly or every other week schedule (see tables below), as well as a magic market card which lets you shop at the market whenever you like.

 

Regular CSA share

  • Geared to feed two veggie lovers or a family of two adults/two kids

  • Expect about 8-13 varieties of produce each week

  • Most popular share for splitting between neighbors and co-workers

Small CSA Share

  • About half the size of the regular share

  • Perfect for people who want fresh produce every week but not SO much

  • Usually 5-8 varieties of produce each week

  • Covering your staples but not as much of the oddball produce

Magic Market Card

  • Ideal for people who want to be connected to the farm but have busy summer schedules that don’t allow for a normal CSA share

  • Market shares go on a debit type card that is loaded at a 10% discount and then used at any of our farmers markets at any time of year. For example, you could pay $270 for $300 of credit on the card.

  • These cards never expire so your balance will just roll over year-to-year.

Fall share

  • Available for 4 weeks starting right at the end of the main season

  • Shares include a variety of greens, herbs, onions, garlic, cabbage, winter squash and storage roots like carrots, beets, turnips, daikons and more

  • Shares are between a small and regular size share for the first three weeks and then you get a mega-gigantor share in time for Thanksgiving with plenty of stuff that will store really well

  • This share runs all the way through the end of market pick-ups so we have other options for pick-up and delivery the last couple of weeks of this share.
