General Details for both Feasts:
Suggested Donations:
We prefer that folks pay in advance. This helps us pull off our portion of the cooking and preparations with greater ease.
We offer a sliding scale to honor the wide range of incomes in our community and to be as accessible as possible. Please pay in accordance with your means---the lower range covers costs, the mid range helps us keep the workshop sustainable, the upper end allows us to offer the workshop to a greater number of people.
You may also choose your own donation outside the range of the scale. Please determine a fair price that is both affordable for you and honors the value of this work. No explanations necessary.
Suggested Sliding Scale for the Fall Walk
(Summer is free!)
