- Toggle down the item(s) you do not want in your box

Purchasing Additional Items
Want to order additional items to be included with your share at pickup?
With just a few clicks, you can add a credit or debit card (securely) on file in the CSAware system, which will allow you to pre-purchase extra items which will be reserved and ready for you along with your share each week, making your pickups fast and easy! That means you won’t need to worry about sell-out of your preferred items.
Order window is Friday afternoons to 2pm Monday for the current week.
NOTE: ANY orders made after 2pm Monday will be added for the following week.
How to:
- View your weekly box by clicking your hyperlinked name in your Friday email
- Save any changes to your weekly box first

- Browse for add-ons and be sure to ‘Check out’

RVA Vacations and Make-Ups
Have a vacation planned? Need to change your pick up location for the week? No problem. You can easily use the CSAWare system to re-schedule your share or change your pick-pick up location to accommodate your busy life, but you are responsible for scheduling that vacation in advance in the share administration system.
It is part of your commitment as a Farm Share Member that you are responsible for picking up your share each week (or making arrangements for someone else to do so on your behalf) and that you are responsible for notifying Agriberry Farm IN ADVANCE if you will not be able to make your pickup. With that said, we understand just how hectic life can be.
If you find yourself in a bind and are about to miss your pickup, you can reach out (csa@agribery.com) to us for assistance, and we will try to help you receive a make-up.
Important: Providing Agriberry Farm with notice that you need to reschedule your pickup before the week’s shares are planned is essential to making our program successful.
IF YOU ACCIDENTALLY MISS A PICKUP
Please reach out via email to csa@agriberry.com by Friday 10am of the current missed week.
All makeups will need to be scheduled and picked up from our Saturday Farm Store in Hanover, VA (6289 River Road, 23069) between 10am – 4pm.
NO Makeups available for Drop Locations
- Midlothian Good Health Herbs
- Ashland Caboose
- Mechanicsville at Lee Davis Pharmacy
