Our CSA exists because we believe a truly sustainable food system cannot be built within an extractive market model. In today’s food economy, low prices often come at the expense of land, farmers, and agricultural workers.
With solidarity-based pricing, we consciously choose a different path. You choose the price of your vegetable basket based on your financial situation. If you earn more, you can pay more — and by doing so, you directly support members with fewer financial means while helping ensure a fair income for the farmers.
As self-employed growers, we aim for an average net wage of €25/hr (after having subtracted 40% for taxes, insurance, holidays, sick days, and pension). This corresponds to a weekly basket supplement of 7-10€/basket.
We invite you to reflect on what you earn (net) per hour and what feels fair for the people growing your food. By choosing your price consciously, you help build a food system based on care, access, and shared responsibility rather than competition.
If the minimum price is not accessible to you, please reach out - every year we make solidarity shares available, also thanks to contributions in the solidarity range by members. Like this, good food remains within reach for all.

Some guidelines:
We consider +0 - +2 € / basket the minimum: choose this price if you earn a small salary only.
Choose +4 € / basket if you earn a modest salary.
Choose +7 - +10 €/ basket if you earn an average or slightly above average salary. This supplement represents a 20-25€ net wage.
Choose +15-+20€/ basket if you earn a salary that's significantly above average.
