NEW SLIDING SCALE CSA COST:
For the 2025 season we are introducing a sliding scale pricing model for our CSA shares.
Use the framework below to help determine where you fall on the scale - scroll down to sign-up!
(sliding scale language adapted from Hadassah Damien)
Consider paying less on the scale if you:
​
- are supporting children or have other dependents
- have significant debt
- have medical expenses not covered by insurance
- are eligible for public assistance
- have immigration-related expenses
- are an elder with limited financial support
- are an unpaid community organizer
- experience discrimination in hiring or pay level
- are descended from enslaved and/or Indigenous people
Consider paying more on the scale if you:
​
- own the home you live in
- have investments, retirement accounts
or inherited money
- travel for recreation
- have access to family money/resources when needed
- work part time or are unemployed by choice
- have relatively high degree of earning power due to level of education (or gender and racial privilege, class background, etc.)
