Choose a price point: Together we can create food access
As a community interest company, one of Soul Farm’s core values is to make good food accessible to as many local people as possible. Fresh food, grown without sprays, is for everyone - not just those who can typically afford it. This is why we offer our veg boxes on a tiered sliding scale. We ask you to choose a price point based on your income and your access to resources. We’ve given guidance below but recognise that you’re the only one who can really assess your situation. We just ask that you give it careful thought. Higher tiers subsidise food for our lower income boxes and for people facing food insecurity.
Higher income - pay it forward
You might be a high income household (guidance £50k+ per year household income). You may comfortably meet everyday costs, have savings and go on holidays. By paying a bit more, you are subsidising low income boxes and funding full paid options for those in need. You are also fully supporting all the true costs that go into growing and supplying the veg in your box. Thank you for helping us create access to our food.
Upper income - pay it forward
You might be an upper income household (guidance £40-50k per year household income). You may be able to comfortably meet everyday costs and have savings. By paying a bit more, you are partially subsidising low income boxes and contributing to full paid options for those in need. You are also fully supporting all the true costs that go into growing and supplying the veg in your box. Thank you for helping us create access to our food.
Medium income - cost price box
You may be a double income household but on minimum wage or a one income household on a middle income wage (guidance £20-30k per year household income). You may be able to meet everyday costs but you may not have savings. This box fully supports all the true costs that go into growing and supplying the veg in your box. Thank you for helping us continue to grow food while looking after local land.
Low income — subsidised, reduced price box
You are on a low income and may struggle to meet everyday costs (guidance less than £20k per year household income). You may have one minimum wage in the household. This box is subsidised 45% by other members of the veg box scheme. The money you pay contributes to the growing and picking of the food, but it doesn’t cover other aspects of running the Community Interest Company, packing and delivering your box. Thank you for helping us continue to grow food while looking after local land.
Solidarity veg — fully subsidised veg
Our higher and upper income tiers help us fully subsidise food for people who cannot meet their everyday costs and may be facing food insecurity. We fulfil this through donations to local food banks and limited no cost box memberships.
