Sliding Scale & Equity Pricing:
Red Root works with a wide range of partners — from grassroots orgs to government agencies — and we believe cost should never be a barrier to local food solutions. I offer reduced rates for farms, BIPOC- and women-led organizations, and grassroots groups doing vital work with limited resources.
If cost is a barrier — tell me. We’ll find a way.
