🧮 The Math Behind Our Prices

📊
100 members

Our target community

📅
48 weeks/year

Deliveries

💷
£11.81 break-even

Minimum to survive

£56,700 ÷ 100 members ÷ 48 weeks = £11.81 break-even

£10.50 solidarity minimum = We take a small loss to help you

£11.81 = Break-even (farm survives, no fair wages yet)

£15 standard = Minimum wage for farmers

£20 supporter = Fair wage + helping subsidize others

Above £20 = Really helping both farm and those in need

⚠️ Important: Our £45,000 farmer wages = £21.60/hour GROSS (before tax, pension, holidays).

Take-home is closer to £15-16/hour - barely a living wage for skilled agricultural work.

This system relies on honesty:

Below £11.81 = we subsidize you (that's okay if you need the help). At £15 = minimum wage. At £20+ = you enable solidarity pricing for those in genuine need. Please choose based on what you can truly afford.
