Sliding Scale & Contributor Memberships
It is core to our mission to offer affordable access to nutritious, locally sourced produce to as many people in our community as possible. Read on to learn more about the different options we offer to make our produce shares more accessible and how you can contribute to these options. See the infographic for more information!
Sliding-Scale Pricing
Slide Up or Slide Down!
We offer Sliding Scale discounts up to 20% AND Contributions of up to 30% during check out. The discounts are for CSA members whose financial circumstances would prohibit their participation in CSA. (For instance, members who may be supporting children, struggling to maintain access to healthcare or housing, or navigating significant debt.) Sliding up the scale at check out and contributing more than market price helps share the cost of the discounts we offer to community members.
We ask you to practice mindfulness as you choose your share, as this supports our efforts to ensure an equitable and accessible experience for all. If discounts up to 20% still do not bring our CSA shares within reach of your family, please see CSA is a SNAP & Sponsored Share Page to learn more about alternatives that offer smaller weekly payments.
Payment Plans are available on Full Season Shares
Paying the full cost up front supports the farm in purchasing seed, soil and paying for all the labor that takes place in the months leading up to the harvest. However, we know that paying in full can be a barrier to some individuals. We have a Pay-in-4 option for our Full Season Half Shares and Whole Shares. If you need additional or alternative payment plan, please email HelloCSA@farmproject.org for assistance.
