With only a few more weeks left in our early bird sign up for current members, we wanted to make you all aware of a price increase once we open sign ups to the public. On Monday October 30th, prices for all shares will go up an additional 5% to accommodate inflation and to maintain fair wages for all our employees.
Ensuring fair compensation for our employees is at the heart of our mission and is one of the most important ways your membership supports local agriculture. Farming is demanding in many ways, but it shouldn’t be an economic hardship for those who wish to devote their careers to growing organic produce to feed us and nurture the land. We appreciate your understanding and your continued support.
We know that some of our our community members are facing financial hardship, and we do offer subsidized shares to those who need 50% off the cost of a share. Please fill out a request form here.
If you have further questions, please email Barbara at admin@stearnsfarmcsa.org.
