Add-On Shares

If you can’t get enough of local food, think about signing up for one or more of our add-on shares! Some of these shares are produced by us and others are sourced from local, vetted growers. You may buy them in addition to your CSA or on their own. Add-on members also get 20% off produce and 10% off eggs!

Types of Add-On Shares

WEEKLY These shares start the same week as the veggie CSA and unless noted, run the full 22-week season (unless otherwise notesd) with no hiatus weeks:

  • Berry Share - from Agriberry and their partner farmers, all Virginia and North Carolina farms. Each week, you will receive a farmer's choice combo of pint-, pound-, or half-pint- containers (usually 2 per week but sometimes 1 and rarely 3) of strawberries, blueberries, blackberries, raspberries, or a mix. This share runs 12 weeks only, from the beginning of the veggies CSA in May until mid summer.
