I have been wondering about a fair way to do something like this - and this (with modifications) might work for us. We have been selling one size of share, and charging aproximately $25/week/share. Some people complain it is too much, others complain it is too expensive, or not enough, and some we can please no matter what we do. So we were thinking that this year we would offer 1 share size about 1/2 the usual, and then if a couple wanted, they could purchase more than one share. This would bring the products down to about 7 or 8 pounds a share, and a lot less work for us.
Since we take a majority of our shares to the farmer's market, the option of having a "choice" table just didn't seem doable. But maybe the answer is to give share holders a "certificate" or an option at the farmer's market (no cost, just the option to choose from the "extras" that we plan on selling anyway.
