How?
To become a member, all you need to do is buy a share.
How much?
This year, we are again offering the Hampshire Vegetable CSAs on a sliding scale. Please refer to this graphic that explains how to figure out where you might fall on the sliding scale. In addition, below is a way to think about the sliding scale in terms of groceries.
The point of a sliding scale is to increase access for all. Those who are able to afford to spend more on a share, help subsidize those who aren’t able to afford the base cost, and therefore more people are able to access our beautiful, fresh, healthy Hampshire vegetables!
When deciding on your share price, a good point of reference may be thinking about how you purchase food on a weekly basis:
- Do you struggle to pay for both groceries and other basic necessities such as rent and utilities? Is it often too expensive to buy fresh vegetables? The low level share might be right for you.
- Do you budget for your groceries, yet are able to get the food items you want each week? The base level share might be right for you.
- Are you able to buy groceries without having to think about the cost much, including fresh vegetables, special treats, and going out to eat? The high level share might be right for you.
Fall Share: A twelve week fall share costs between $288 - $552. Free shares are available for students living in mods. (One free share per mod.)
