54: How to Create Add-On Shares for Your CSA

54: How to Create Add-On Shares for Your CSA

April 29, 2020 by Corinna

If you’ve been doing a CSA for a few years, you may have considered adding on additional “share-types” to your product suite.

Also known as “add-ons,” these share types can help elevate your branding, get you more customers, and make you more money.

But they can be a tricky animal. In this episode, I walk you through how they work on our farm. And I share some questions you should think through as you navigate these new waters.

Hit play and let’s get started!

Some of the resources mentioned in this episode:

  • Find my Facebook group for farmers! I jump in here every week to teach farmers tips and fundamentals of marketing.
  • My CSA Membership Academy — This tool has been a lifeline for my CSA members, and the price goes up in a month. Join this online library on a monthly or annual basis and get access to the “success path” I’ve created for my CSA members to help them become really good at using their box.  I have a lot of farmers who purchase the Academy to help them get ideas and templates for their own training system. Join now for a month, and cancel anytime! The price will be going up in April, 2020, so lock your price in by ordering this month.
  • Want to use my 40-page A to Z Vegetable Storage Guide for your farm this season? It includes an entry for every vegetable and fruit we might provide to our customers, including storage and freezing instructions, as well as cooking tips. I use this guide as the primary email lead generator on my website. But it’s also a gift I offer to my CSA members. When you purchase this digital file, you’ll receive an unbranded PDF version of this comprehensive storage guide so you can literally just attach it to your email as-is. You’ll also receive a copy of the digital Master File shared with you on Canva. So you can take the file and customize it however you want. This product comes with lifetime permission to photocopy, digitally share, modify or cut-and-paste the guide for your own marketing purposes. To see the first 4 pages of this guide free, click here.
