CSA Boosters and Pork Share

The Strawberry Boost
 – $135.00

Unlimited private pick your own strawberries throughout our strawberry season. You may come out as often as you would like during open hours. There is no limit on your take for the day for your household.

  • For CSA members only: You must purchase a full or medium CSA share to have this boost.
  • Limit one trip per day
  • Strawberry season usually starts around Mid-May (give or take a few days) and runs for approximately 3 weeks.
  • We intend to be open every day, as long as picking is available.

The Strawberry Boost is for pick your own strawberries only. It does not include pre-picked berries. This boost is for members, who like quantities of berries, and enjoy the outdoor experience. You can come multiple times throughout the strawberry season. It is excellent for families. It is not intended for people who do not want to pick berries or cannot pick.

With this share, you don’t have to worry about eating most of your berries on the way home or your kids picking too many! – You can come back again and again or take a few buckets home to preserve for future use.

We want CSA members to feel free to make a day out of it. You can bring a picnic, take a nature walk, or just come out for a quick picking. We will provide the buckets each day.

Come have some fun filled afternoons at the farm!
