Frequently Asked Questions

What is a sliding scale payment system?

A sliding scale payment system is a flexible approach that allows individuals and families to pay for our CSA shares based on their financial means. The cost of participation can be adjusted to accommodate different income levels, making it more accessible to a diverse range of community members. We use an honor system and do not require any financial information. We trust that our community members will make the right choice for themselves and the community.

Why do we offer a sliding scale?

Everyone should have access to healthy, organic, and regeneratively-raised food. Farming in a way that is good for the land costs more to produce high-quality and nutritious food. By offering a sliding scale, we hope that our vegetables will be affordable for all and that we can support our farm and employees with living wages. By offering a sliding scale, we aim to break down financial barriers and foster inclusivity, ensuring that more people can benefit from the bounty of our farm.

How does it work?

Our sliding scale is designed to be simple and transparent.

When you sign up for our CSA program, you will find a range of payment options. We provide suggested payment amounts based on the cost of production, but you have the flexibility to choose a level that aligns with your financial situation.

Whether you choose the higher end of the scale to support others in need or opt for a lower payment to make the program more accessible for yourself, we appreciate your commitment to our community and regenerative agriculture, and we trust you will make the right choice. 

Join us in building a healthier, more connected community through our CSA program. Together, we can cultivate a future where everyone can enjoy the benefits of fresh, locally sourced food.
