Pick Your Own Farm Membership is ***Open for 2024***
Price: Sliding Scale $20-$400
(we expect most people will pay between $150-$250)
See HOW TO USE THE SLIDING SCALE (and then sign up)
Harvest Times: Tuesday/Wednesday/Saturday 11 am-6 pm
Season: May-October
What: Certified organic botanicals— see the list below. We plant, water, tend, and weed— and you harvest. You’re invited to our beautiful hill-top farm fields to bask in the abundance.
Who: Local makers, cooks, and herbalists who want to have a closer relationship to the plants that they work with (and build community with the people who grow them)
(Maybe also your kiddos, partners, or friends who also want to come harvest with you.)
How: We'll provide an orientation and map of the fields before the season starts and email you once a week to let you know what's in season. The plants are labeled in the fields. This season, we will also be setting up a small processing space for people who want to make medicine while at the farm.
Self-Management: You determine how much you might like to harvest, how often, and what that feels worth to you— you set your own price, and you can come as much as you’d like.
Mutual Aid: We are in relationships with a few local mutual aid herb groups, and you’ll be able to help contribute. If you are a mutual aid group, sign up for a solidarity share (no cost) and email me— we can make plans for you to come harvest/stay here if needed.
Coming from afar? Email to ask about camping options.

Caveat: We can't guarantee that you'll get every plant you want exactly when you want it. We'll do our best to make sure that there's enough for everyone, but the nature of both farming and community is that we can't predict everything.
