Workshops & Classes
Pay what you can to participate, for all of our workshops & classes.
Currently our class retail value is $35 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)
