Community Supported Agriculture
Enjoy fresh produce each week and support student sustainable agriculture!
Morven Kitchen Garden Spring CSA registration is now closed.
We are so grateful to everyone who expressed interest, and together we have accepted more spring CSA members than ever before! Morven Kitchen Garden started over 13 years ago with a summer CSA program, and over the years, expanded to include the Fall season as well. Three years ago, we were persuaded to run a pilot Spring CSA season by our egg producer, who didn’t want to be saddled with extra eggs during our off season. This year, we more than tripled our membership in the Spring CSA, and were almost able to serve everyone who expressed interest. We’re looking forward to the summer, which promises bountiful harvests! We plan on offering a larger share size (6-8 items per week) during the summer, and accepting more members, so if you haven’t gotten the chance to enjoy our CSA yet, this summer is the perfect time! We will update this webpage with registration details for the summer soon.
Thank you for choosing student-grown food!
Sincerely,
the Morven Kitchen Garden Team
Morven Kitchen Garden CSA
CSA shareholders pay for 10 bags of wickedly fresh, local produce over the 10-week season. Shares include 3-4 items, and are picked up on Wednesday afternoons (4:30pm-5:30pm) from UVA grounds outside of O-Hill dining hall, with a dozen local eggs included for an additional fee. Our goal is to not turn anyone away for inability to pay and we operate on a sliding payment scale.
If you are interested in signing up for our CSA (Community Supported Agriculture) program, please check this webpage periodically for updates.

Vegetables
We grew over 40 different crops using sustainable, regenerative methods. Our aim is to provide a wide variety of produce each week, from greens and lettuce to root crops and warm and cool season favorites. We offer the option to add-on free-range eggs from our friend and backyard gardener, Tom, for an additional $65 charge.
For a list of the vegetables we grow and when they are typically available, see MKG CSA vegetables
Seasons & Share Sizes
MKG offers three distinct ten week CSAs:
Summer Season: June - August (10 weeks)
Fall Season: September - November (10 weeks)
Spring Season: February - April (10 weeks, skipping over UVA’s Spring break)
Membership includes a selection of 3-4 homegrown items, great for most of the needs of a 1-2 person household, or as a supplemental amount of produce towards a larger household.
