2024 shares now available!
Our regular season runs from June 5th through November 2nd. Members can either sign up for a full share (20 pickups) or a half share (10 pickups). Pickups are available on Wednesdays or Saturdays. Sign up here!
At each pickup, members can expect to receive between 5 and 7 types of certified organic vegetables, and enough food to make two large vegetarian meals and sides for a week. Members will receive an email a day or two before pick up to let them know what will be in that week’s share.
what’s in a share?
Each week Hearty Roots harvests a balance of organic salad greens, root vegetables, cooking greens, herbs, and other seasonal produce. Here are a few examples of what your share might look like throughout the season:
Spring: Arugula, Baby Lettuce Mix, Beets, Cauliflower, Japanese Turnips, Kale, Radishes
Summer: Bell Peppers, Carrots, Fennel, Garlic, Potatoes, Sweet Corn, Tomatoes

A Weekly Share is designed for a medium sized household that cooks regularly, or a small household that cooks a lot of vegetables. A Bi-weekly Share contains the same amount of produce as the Weekly Share, but pick-ups occur every other week instead of every week. Smaller households and members looking for a smaller quantity often opt for a Bi-weekly Share. The vegetables are harvested the day before you receive them, so they will remain very fresh in the fridge until your next pickup!
SHARE PRICING
Vegetable, Fruit and Egg Shares from Hearty Roots Farm
The egg shares come from Heaty Roots own pasture-raised hens and are available in dozen or a half-dozen shares, picked up weekly or bi-weekly. The hens live out on the pasture, foraging in the grass, which gives their eggs amazing, nutrient-rich orange yolks. Read more about our eggs here.
Fruit shares (only available during the regular season) include two fruit items per pick-up. Hearty Roots source the fruit from a handful of orchards and fruit growers in the Hudson Valley.
Fruit availability varies from season to season. In summer you can expect peaches, blueberries, pears, nectarines, raspberries, cherries, and plums. In the fall, the share includes many varieties of apples, pears, cider, and more
While Hearty Roots sources organic fruit when they can, there are very few certified organic fruit options in the Hudson Valley. Most of the fruit is grown conventionally, by farmers we know and trust.
Weekly Vegetable Share (20 pickups) | $37/pickup ($740/season)
Bi-Weekly Vegetable Share (10 pickups) | $39/pickup ($390/season)
Egg Share | $7.75/dozen or $4.50/half-dozen
Fruit Share | $15/pick-up ($300/season for weekly share or $150/season for bi-weekly share)

Membership Fee
There is a one-time membership fee of $25 that will be due at sign-up for all members, whether paying in full or in monthly installments. This money helps keep your CSA running! These funds are used by the East Williamsburg CSA core organizers for various materials and expenses that arise over the course of the season. Any funds not used are then donated to local community organizations at the end of the season. This membership fee is required in order to join this CSA. When you sign up for your share, the membership fee will be in the shop beneath the “Add-on Shares” section. Please make sure you add the East Williamsburg membership fee to your cart before you check out. If you do not pay for the membership fee when you place your order, your card on file will be charged for the amount of the membership fee prior to the start of the season. Please reach out to us at csa@heartyroots.com if you have any questions.

PICKUP SCHEDULE
The season runs from June 5th through November 2nd. Within that period, members can choose:
Weekly Pickups
Biweekly Pickups (every other week)
There are two biweekly schedules available. "A Week" members start pick-ups in the first week of the season; "B Week" members will start picking up during the second week of the season.
Check the full pick-up schedule before you sign up! Biweekly members will not be able to switch back and forth between A and B weeks during the season.
Pickups are available on either Wednesdays or Saturdays. Members can switch between Wednesday and Saturday pickups, as long as you stay within your “A Week” or “B Week”. Changes must be made by the Sunday before your pickup.
Wednesdays: 6:00 - 7:30pm @ Red Shed Community Garden
Saturdays: 10:00am - 1:00pm @ Red Shed Community Garden
There are two holiday weeks this season when no shares will be delivered: the week of July 4th and Labor Day Weekend (July 6th and August 31st).
Members may choose up to two additional "vacation" weeks, to make sure the CSA schedule fits your personal schedule! Members who choose to use these two optional vacation weeks will be credited for the value of the unused share, to be put toward their next CSA installment payment or CSA purchase. These changes must be entered by Sunday before your pickup!
ready to join? here’s how!
You can sign up for your share here! We use GrownBy software for our CSA member management. We love GrownBy for two reasons: it allows you to check on your pick-up schedule and to change pick-up locations and dates, and it is software designed by a farmer-owned cooperative that was founded by Hearty Roots’ own Lindsey Lusher Shute! It works great as an app from the Apple or Android app stores, or can be used in a web browser.
If you purchased a share from us last year, you should already have an account set up. If you are a new member (welcome!), you will need to create an account as part of your purchase. Once you are logged in, you will be able to make all of your selections (choosing vegetable and/or egg shares, weekly or bi/weekly, and your required membership fee) before checkout. If you have any questions or need any assistance, please contact us at csa@heartyroots.com.
We look forward to providing you and your family with our fresh, delicious produce this season!
