Share options, Season dates & Cost
3 TYPES OF SHARES are offered
Main share of vegetables, fruit and supplements
Fresh vegetables, greens and herbs along with fresh fruit in season and ½ doz eggs each week plus cheese, bread, dried fruit and staple grains and legumes in rotation to round out the share providing whole foods for a balanced diet. About 80% of the vegetables are from the Kimberton CSA farm and others are from organic growers in our region. Regarding fruit, we do our best to provide as much Biodynamic and organic (not IPM) fresh fruit which can be up to 10-12 varieties over the course of the summer/fall and 3-5 throughout the winter/spring (however, this can be unpredictable in the changing climate.)
Main share without bread
Bread is included in the main share (above) an average of 2 times every 4-5 weeks. The "No Bread" option is the regular main share with all supplements except for bread for those who, for whatever reason, do not wish to receive it in the CSA share.
Looking for wheat-free bread alternatives?
There are 3 varieties that can be ordered separately if desired: Spelt, Rye, and Gluten-Free (which is made from millet, tapioca, quinoa, brown rice, buckwheat, chia seeds). Varieties with Biodynamic whole wheat and organic white flour blends can also be ordered separately.

Veggie / Fruit Only
This is the same seasonal fresh vegetables and fruit that come in the Main Share. Perfect for those who want a smaller share or prefer only the fresh food with none of the supplemental eggs, cheese, bread and dry goods.
HALF SHARE
For a half share, we recommend the BI-WEEKLY option which is receiving a full size share every other week. For those who prefer half share every week, a private arrangement can be made to split a weekly share with a partner.
We have 4 "SEASONS" for which you may register:

FULL YEAR Discount
For those who register for our main share for the full CSA year, we have a special offer - $100 discount for weekly and $50 discount for bi-weekly which is built into the price in the chart below. This is a commitment to the farmers, to your own health and eating habits, and to the School of Life organization that administers the program. This refers to the Summer and Winter seasons combined i.e. June to the following May for a total of 50 weeks.
