Community Supported Agriculture
Morven Kitchen Garden Spring 2026 CSA is underway!
-
Enjoy fresh produce each week and support student sustainable agriculture! MKG CSA shareholders pay for 10 bags of wickedly fresh, local produce over the 10-week season. Community Supported Agriculture refers to a form of agricultural production where consumers purchase a “share” of the farm’s produce in advance to be distributed to them once harvesting later.
If you are interested in signing up for our CSA (Community Supported Agriculture) program, please check this webpage in late May/early June for updates when to sign up for our Summer 2026 CSA!

Morven Kitchen Garden’s CSA serves primarily UVA students, faculty, or affiliated, but our service is open to any and all community members! We do not refuse anyone who cannot pay, as we operate on a sliding payment scale.

MKG offers 3 distinct 10-week CSAs:
Summer Season: June — August (10 weeks)
Fall Season: September — November (10 weeks)
Spring Season: February — April (10 weeks, skips over UVA’s spring break recess)
Share sizes depend mainly on crop yield, however we have two options of share sizes available. Each bag also comes with a personalized newsletter with weekly recipes!
Full-Share: 6-8 items
Half-Share: 4 items
*one dozen local eggs are included for an additional fee
MGK’s CSA share sizes are the most beneficial for a single ordouble (1-2) person household, or a supplemental amount of fresh produce towards a larger household.
Pickup locations currently include Morven Farm (600 Morven Dr) and outside of O-Hill Dining Room (525 McCormick Rd) from 4:30—5:30 on Mondays.
Our Produce!
We grew over 40 different crops using sustainable, regenerative methods utilizing the help of student interns, Morven staff, and volunteers.
Previous shares have included root vegetables (carrots, beets, radishes, turnips, sweet potatoes, etc), greens (lettuce, kale, chard, pea sprouts, etc), tomatoes (a fan favorite!) seasonal fruits, honey from Morven Kitchen Garden, canned salsa, green onions, okra, and much more. Each season and each harvest vary, so it’s important to check when certain crops are in season.
Thank you for choosing student-grown food!
Sincerely,
the Morven Kitchen Garden Team
Thank you to our Fall 2025 season shareholders for supporting Community Supported Agriculture! We hope that student-grown produce has shown you just how good local can taste.
