Our 2024 FARM SHARE Registration IS NOW OPEN!
Each week we send an email letting you know what to expect in your Farm Share. This is an example of summer produce.
We are pleased to offer our produce through a Farm Share Membership Program (formerly Community Supported Agriculture) Members purchase a share in the season’s harvest and receive a weekly allotment of produce throughout the year.
Our Farm Share is meant for families with vegetable-centric diets who are committed to preparing meals at home at least 4 days per week. Further, you must be open to trying new types of produce and experimenting with new recipes.
Our program can be customized…don’t like something in the week’s share? You can trade it out for something you love! We also offer flexible monthly payments.

By submitting a deposit or Farm Share payment, you are agreeing to the following:
By purchasing a share in the Shenandoah Seasonal CSA program, I have accepted the terms of this membership agreement. Members of the CSA will receive a weekly share of produce, varying in size depending on the time of season. One aspect of CSA is that members support their farmer by sharing in the inherent risks of agriculture (poor weather, drought, crop failure, etc.) and the rewards (organic, exceptionally fresh vegetables, the bounty of a good season, etc.) involved in farming. CSA farmers purposely plan for such contingencies; the farmers use growing techniques that protect the harvest to minimize the risk and optimize the rewards. On the whole, members will get a wide variety of vegetables in plentiful amounts. I understand this principle and agree that there is no guarantee on the exact amount or type of produce I will receive in my share. By becoming a member, I agree to support the farm with timely payments. If I choose to be a monthly subscriber, then by signing this agreement, I commit to paying the monthly fee of $140 for the full program period of 12 weeks for a total amount of $420. I understand there will be an additional 3% processing fee for online credit card payments. I commit to picking up my share(s) weekly and I understand that if I, or someone I designate, is unable to pick up my share(s), they cannot be saved. I understand that my contribution as a member is utilized as seed and spring start up funds for the farmers and therefore my CSA membership fee is nonrefundable.

“Eating organic, local food, grown with love, is a huge priority for our family. The choices we make today, not only affect our health, but also affect the planet. We need to be good environmental stewards and joining a CSA is an important step in the right direction. We are showing our daughters that by investing in one another, we are investing in our future.”
Shenandoah Seasonal Farm Share FAQ
How does the program work?
The Shenandoah Seasonal Farm Share will have a Spring, Summer and Fall program, each offering 12 weeks of organically grown vegetables and herbs. Pick up will take place weekly on Saturdays at your preferred location.
Our program is farmers market style, meaning you will have the option to pick your own produce to ensure your family receives the perfect amount of produce. You will not receive a prepackaged box.
Each week you can expect to find 7 varieties of produce and herbs depending on season and availability.
How does the Farm Share payment work?
Farm Share payments are collected in the winter/spring prior to your first pick up date. The program is essential to kickstarting our growing season by providing seed money. You have the following payment options: pay in full or be a monthly subscriber. We accept check or online payments. If you choose to be a monthly subscriber than you commit to paying the monthly fee of $140 for the full program period of 12 weeks for a total amount of $420.
Can I split a Farm Share with someone?
Yes! You are welcome to split a full share with a friend, neighbor or family member. In fact, we encourage this if this is your first time as part of a CSA program and you are nervous it will be too much food. We recommend you do this by working out a schedule where each share comes every other week. All we ask is that you let us know so we can put you both on our email list.
How many people will my share feed?
Because our program is farmer market style, you will have the option to cater how much produce you take to meet the demand of your family. In general, we say that a full share will feed a family of 2 to 3 people who like to prepare meals at least four times per week. Our goal is to provide you with an amount and variety of veggies so that you will not need to supplement your produce with trips to the grocery store.
What types of veggies can I expect to see in my share?
Spring Roots and Greens Program - Salad Greens (spring mix, arugula, zesty mix), Cooking Greens (chard, kale, collards, Asian greens), scallions, carrots, beets, radishes, turnips, sprouting broccoli, lettuce, spinach
Summer Bounty Program - tomatoes, eggplant, cucumber, peppers, potatoes, beans, garlic, cabbage
Fall Harvest Program - all of the above plus winter squash (butternut, pumpkin, delicata)
What does it mean to eat seasonally?
Eating seasonally means you will receive veggies depending on the current growing season. Below is an example of what you might find in your seasonal basket throughout the three seasons. You won't find tomatoes before July!
SUMMER
1 head of lettuce, 1 bunch swiss chard, 2 lb. cucumbers, 2 lb zucchini/squash, 3 lbs tomatoes, 1 qrt. cherry tomatoes, 1/2 lb. bell pepper, 1 head garlic, 1 bunch basil
FALL
1 bag lettuce, 1 bunch kale, 1 head cabbage, 1 bunch leeks, 1 bunch carrots, 2 acorn squash, 1 head garlic
What if I go on vacation?
If you go on vacation during a pick up week you are welcome to have a friend or neighbor pick up in your absence. Unfortunately we cannot extend the season for absences. If you travel a lot, consider splitting a share with a friend, family member or neighbor. Nine times out of ten we are able to alternative pick up dates when our seasonal farm stand is open.
