Why We Love the Black Krim Tomato

Among the many heirloom varieties we grow, the Black Krim Tomato holds a special place in our hearts. Not only does it boast a deep purplish-red hue and striking green shoulders, but it also offers a rich, smoky flavor with a hint of saltiness. This unique combination makes it perfect for slicing onto sandwiches or adding complexity to salads and sauces. Furthermore, its juicy flesh and thin skin make every bite a burst of flavor. Growing the Black Krim is a joy for us, as it thrives under the care and attention we give to all our heirloom varieties.

ยฃ56,700 รท 100 members รท 48 weeks = ยฃ11.81 break-even

ยฃ10.50 solidarity minimum = We take a small loss to help you

ยฃ11.81 = Break-even (farm survives, no fair wages yet)

ยฃ15 standard = Minimum wage for farmers

ยฃ20 supporter = Fair wage + helping subsidize others

Above ยฃ20 = Really helping both farm and those in need

โš ๏ธ Important: Our ยฃ45,000 farmer wages = ยฃ21.60/hour GROSS (before tax, pension, holidays).

Take-home is closer to ยฃ15-16/hour - barely a living wage for skilled agricultural work.

This system relies on honesty:

Below ยฃ11.81 = we subsidize you (that's okay if you need the help). At ยฃ15 = minimum wage. At ยฃ20+ = you enable solidarity pricing for those in genuine need. Please choose based on what you can truly afford.
