Shine Farms! They have an amazing array and pickup in Church Hill at Pizza Bones on Thursday evenings. Lots of good options depending on size, price and length.

This sounds really good, the price doesn't look too bad either. Do you use them and if so what option did you go with?

Yes, I used them last year and it was great! Anything additional is 15% off as well. I went with the farmer's select half size option last year and again this year. They also have a "people's choice" option which is essentially a gift card to use anywhere they set up shop for 15% as well.

If I'm reading it right, the price of the half-size option would just be a one-time fee to cover all 13 weeks right? I may wind up going for it, the location is super convenient too

Yes, one time fee and you get to pick up a weekly box for the duration!

Hi I’m interested in this too! I looked at the website and was a little confused, so the “people’s choice” is just a down payment to get 15% off? Or do you get to choose a number of produce depending on your size csa?

Yes looks to be a down payment, but I like having the farmers choice so didn’t look too into it. Either way they’re great!

I use Shine as well, came here to say I really like them. I've used them the past two years, I did a full share my first year and a half share this past year.

This year I'm trying the people's choice for the first time, since I travel for work a lot and wouldn't be able to pick up a box every week. I was always pretty happy with the mix in my box, and enjoyed the discount if I wanted to supplement anything.
