Pay What You Can to participate, for all of our workshops & classes.
Currently our class retail value is $36 per person. With our Pay What You Can, flexible pricing, we invite you to engage with our classes & workshops with a solidarity mindset. Solidarity means coming together to ensure everyone has access to what they need ~ in this case farming, gardening, and food-related education at a local, organic teaching farm ~ at an affordable price for them.
Everyone deserves access to healthy food.
We invite you to consider solidarity in deciding what you will pay today.
Consider paying less if you:
+Spend time worrying about securing the things you need
+Don’t have reliable transportation to fresh food
+Are supporting dependents
+Have significant medical debt or don’t have health insurance
Consider paying retail-value or more if you:
+Spend little time worrying about securing necessities
+Own your own home
+Have retirement/investment accounts/inheritance
+Have significant discretionary income – travel, dining out
+Have a relatively high degree of earning power (or other privileges you may have associated with race, gender, citizenship status, class background, sexual orientation, gender identity, physical ability)
