We price shares on a tiered sliding scale system, where each member self-identifies where they are, roughly, on the spectrum of financial access. We’ve thought about this model for awhile, but we were inspired by and give credit to Rock Steady Farm for instituting this locally (and in turn credit their inspirations and collaborators: Underground Alchemy, Soul Fire Farm, Radherb, Third Root, and the Kula Center).
Our hope is that those who have a little more, can pay a bit more, and that those who aren’t in a position to give much more can stay closer to where our pricing had been in the past.
Our 2024 pricing:
Tier 3 – $750 (7 point share) / $850 (9 point share)
Tier 2 – $700 (7 point share) / $800 (9 point share)
Tier 1 – $600 (7 point share) / $700 (9 point share)
We would like to offer the below sliding scale illustration, “The Green Bottle” to help assess where you might fit in these tiers. This existing tool isn’t perfect, but it’s useful. Please don’t stress too much about it — go with your gut and choose what feels right to you.
We also offer week-to-week shares at a discounted rate for payment with EBT – the CSA Is A SNAP program, thanks to the Hudson Valley CSA Coalition. Members can pay each week (no upfront payment needed) $16 per week, using their SNAP benefits, and the CSA Is A SNAP program will subsidize the difference. This season we have space for ten CSA Is A SNAP members. If you’re interested in using your EBT for a weekly CSA share, please email us at [email protected].
