Fall Veggie CSA Shares

The Fall Share is an extension of our main-season Veggie CSA program. It’s also a great option for prospective members to try out the CSA program for just a few weeks.

Start Date & DURATION

The 2024 Fall Share will run for 7 weeks, Oct 7-Nov 24.

What's in it? 

The items available in the share will be predominantly: different types of greens, radishes, turnips, peppers (until frost) beets & carrots (later in the share), potatoes, sweet potatoes, winter squash, and possibly more.

Half-share members will receive 6 items, and Full-share members 10 items, each week in their share. In general, members will get to choose all items, but it may be that the first 3 items are "Farmer's Choice," just like the summer share.

Below are the anticipated Fall Share pick up locations, but they are subject to change (some locations change hours or close for the season). Note, you can also pre-order additional items (like beef. pork, eggs, dairy products & grocery items) to your pick up. Preorder by noon on Thursday.

Fall Add-on Shares

We are offer a few of our most popular add-on shares during the Fall. These will run for the same duration as the Veggie shares and must be picked up at your default location (unless you contact us).

  • Cheese Share - 1 soft cheese (chevre, feta, etc.) from Caromont Farm and 1 hard cheese from Shenandoah Valley Family Farms (cheddar, swiss, gouda, etc.)

  • Mushroom Share - choose 1/2 lb or 1 lb per week; farmer’s choice mixed mushrooms from Madison Mushrooms or Schofield Farm

  • Fruit Share - seasonal tree fruits from our local/regional partners: apples, pears, Asian pears, and occasionally specialty items as they become available.

Other perks: farm access and discounts! 

Current-year CSA members (any veggie OR add-on share) get 20% off vegetables and 10% off eggs. These discounts are in effect for the calendar year during which you are a member. Members are also welcome to enjoy the farm, whether that be through pick-your-own, walking, picnicking and more.

FAQs

What if I go on vacation during the Fall share? You can send a friend or family member to pick up in your place. Due to the more limited selection of Fall produce and the shortness of the Fall share, we cannot accommodate double ups.

Can I access the Pick-Your-Own? Yes, PYO is available to Fall members until frost.
