2024 CSA Add-Ons

As a member of Urban Roots CSA, you can sign up in advance for many delicious weekly add-on items from our farm and other local producers to your share.  Visit our Partners & Producers page to learn more about our local partners. 

Signing up in advance is the best way to reserve add-on products and get them for the best price. These items may be available at weekly pickups, but the only way to lock in a dozen of the best damn eggs each week or a tasty loaf at the lowest price is to sign up in advance. And prices are discounted for advance add-ons as well. 

Description and specifics of each add-on product and pricing are listed below. Members are welcome to add-on multiples of any single items (i.e. 3 dozen eggs, more than one loaf of bread, etc.) -  you can indicate this when filling out the form. All discounts will reflect on the invoice sent to you.

BREAD NOTE: Bread shares are available at THURSDAY PICKUPS ONLY. Sign ups go directly to Ursa Bakery, which is why they are not included in the Add-Ons section of our form. To sign up for a weekly bread share, click here.

  • 16 weeks - $22/week, $352/total

    This year, we are changing things up a bit from previous years flower shares. The share will be 16 weeks of the most popular staples - sunflowers & dahlias. For $22 per week, you get 2 large bunch of sunflowers or dahlias or maybe even one of each to take home.

    We really hope we’ll also have a large variety of the other types of flowers we grow. We’re sure many of you have a favorite besides dahlias or sunflowers and we have not got rid of them! We’ve just noted these other types are more, shall we say, subjectively enjoyed than the ever-popular sunflower or dahlia.

    So we will lower the cost and duration of the flower share, focus it on those two types, and cross our fingers for a wide variety of blooms available for all at pickup for purchase using credit. You can get a flower share and also get more flowers at pickup each week. But if you do not like sunflowers you should not get a share, just get your other flowers at pickup…. But who doesn’t like sunflowers! And we are growing more and more types of dahlias than ever.

  • 21 weekly distributions - $8/week for rotating, $4/week for baguette or $12/week for both

    NOTE! Bread shares are only available for Thursday On-Farm pickup.

    Claire is an amazing baker and a passionate advocate of local farming. She has also been part of our CSA since the very beginning.

    At Ursa Bakery, she uses mostly natural yeasts, mills her own flours from local grains, and is an advocate for heirloom strains of grains in a world where foods, and in particular wheat and grain, are increasingly bred for mass consumption rather than flavor, health or quality. And, oh yeah: Ursa Bakery was named Best Bread in Pennsylvania by Food and Wine Magazine in 2022! It’s nice when folks who share our values are also incredible at what they do. Her bread is a rare gift for which we are beyond grateful.

    Sign up in advance to lock in one (or maybe 2?!) of Ursa Bakery’s divine bread loafs in your share every week. You can select rotating loaves, which vary by week, baguette, OR BOTH! Rotating will mostly be sourdough, with occasional yeast bread and include omni, hundo, seedy, and sesamo.

    Sign up and find out why like half of our members pick up on Thursdays!

  • 21 weeks -$7/week, total $147

    The best eggs you'll ever taste from truly pasture-raised birds at Horseshoe Ranch, one of Urban Roots’ original partners. Deep orange yolks, strong shells: they have an integrity that makes every egg from the store seem fragile.

    Eggs are a particularly opaque business. Most eggs are pretty much the same right? When you touch one of these, it is so abundantly obvious how different it is. Should we eat organic or pasture raised? Is cage free almost as good as pasture raised? The answers range from disappointing to frightening. And we try to make a practice of never scaring customers into eating local.

    Bryan and Brittney don’t want to scare you either. They used to be vegans, until they decided to spend their lives modeling how eggs should be raised, with respect for the birds, the environment and the consumer.

    If we were birds, we wouldn’t want any other farmer. And we never want to eat another egg.

  • 11 weeks distributed bi-weekly - $22/week, total $242

    The cheese in this share is truly ridiculous, especially at the price. Really can’t say this enough: if you eat cheese ever, you should get this.

    Delicious types of cheeses from Birchrun Hill Farm that change every other week. Birchrun Hills Farm is a family-run dairy in Chester County, raising Holstein cows to make their fresh cheeses.

    If your family is cheese-lovers, this is a must have add-on. Cheese varies every other week starting the first week of the CSA. Each share includes two types of cheese, avg. 6-8 oz. of each. Types include: feta, halloumi, cheddar, pimento, blue, forage blanc, camembert and more specialties. It makes every single thing better, and is the key to the CSA salad becoming the easiest and most delicious part of your week.

  • 18 weeks (3 weeks off during season) - $23/week, total $414

    Mycopolitan Mushrooms are grown in a specially outfitted warehouse in Philadelphia, by our friends Brian and Tyler and their team. His subterranean farm uses earth's thermal mass to buffer temperatures, which means less energy and more chemical-free mushrooms. Growing hyper local ensures the mushrooms are at peak freshness. They sell to some of the finest restaurants around, and the quality is truly on another level.

    Brian is a passionate genius of mushrooms, constantly improving his production and facility to keep up with his latest learning. One of the things that impressed us the most, beyond the generous quantity and amount of care that go into each shares, is how he keeps learning and improving. It seems like every week we get to try a new best, as he refines growing and harvest conditions in pursuit of the perfect mushrooms.

    These shares are a steal. You always get three kinds, and 1.5 lbs always seems like way more than you thought it would be, in a good way, which is good because they are nutrient-dense superfoods, and we’d be wise to eat them as much as possible.

    Each share includes a 1.5 lb mix of 2-3 types of specialty mushrooms every week for 18 weeks. Varieties include King Trumpet, Black Pearl, Chestnut, Shiitake, Blue Oyster, Pioppino, Lions Mane, Maitake, Beech, and Enoki.

  • 18 weeks (3 weeks off during season) - $13/week, total $234

    Enjoy the best sweet peach & apple varieties from Frecon Orchards Farm. Based out of Boyertown, Frecon Farms has been growing some of Pennsylvania's finest tree fruits and berries since 1944.

    Every week you’ll receive a 1/2 peck bag of specialty peach or apples that are ideal for eating and/or baking. So you’ll get a little over five pounds of fruit every week.

    Favorites have included: juicy Honeycrisp and Amrbosia apples for eating, Macintosh and other culinary varietals that stay crisp in pastries and pies; donut peaches that literally taste like cotton candy, and all types of other peaches from clingstone to freestone that leave your chin covered in the sweetest juice.

    Hard to get all these vegetables without any fruit people. We might give you a melon or a watermelon in your shares, but the apples and peaces from Frecon make such great combos with our veggies.
