Q: What does Pay What You’re Able mean?
A: In an effort to make sure that all our food and programming are affordable and accessible to all who want to engage, we ask that you pay a price that is comfortable to you and your situation. We have learned that when we all share as we’re able, we all truly can have what we need.
Q: Can I just stop by the farm and visit?
