In return for paying upfront, Market Share customers get discounts on organic produce grown at the UCSC Farm.

Join the 2023 Center for Agroecology Market Share Program and receive discounted organic, UCSC-Farm grown produce all season long. Market Share customers pay upfront for produce from our Farmstand, which takes place in the Cowell Ranch Hay Barn on Thursdays from 12:30pm to 6pm June 22 through October 5, 2023. 

Market Shares are similar to a prepaid gift card; customers pay upfront and then can choose any quantity and variety of produce offered at our Farmstand each week. Customers can choose from the following pricing options: $125 for $150 worth of produce (average of $10 per week, $25 savings); $200 for $225 worth of produce (average of $15 per week, $25 savings); $325 for $375 worth of produce (average of $25 per week, $50 savings). We also offer reduced cost options.

By participating in the Center for Agroecology Market Share Program, you make the choice to support local agriculture in a substantial way. By committing to a season’s worth of produce grown at the UCSC Farm and Garden, you support us with a market we can count on and plan for. In exchange, you get produce that is picked fresh for you and quality, nutrition and flavor that is unmatched! Your support of the Center for Agroecology Market Share Program helps us to steward our campus sites and train the next generation of farmers, gardeners, and food system activists through our educational programs.
