Sliding Scale
In an effort to build social and economic justice, the cost of our vegetable CSA is based on a sliding scale. We believe in empowering our members to decide the share cost that makes the most sense for them.
By offering a sliding scale, it is our hope that our vegetables will be affordable for all and that we will be able to support ourselves and our employees with fair and equitable pay.
So, how do you decide which pay level makes the most sense for you?
First, consider your annual income. Do you consider your income to be low, mid-range or high?

Next, read the other considerations to determine which share fits for you and your family:
Consider paying LESS if you:
- Have high debt (medical, educational, etc.)
- Are raising children
- Have expenses related to immigration
- Receive public assistance
- Have limited access to family wealth and support during times of need
Consider paying MORE if you:
- Travel regularly for leisure
- Have retirement accounts or investments
- Have inherited wealth
* Consider joining our Contributor Share if you would like to support our equitable pay goal, vegetable donations, and reduced share CSA prices.
Equity Share members only: contact us for off-Chappy pickup or to discuss weekly payment options. All other shares must be picked up on Chappy and paid for in full upon sign up.
