Refunds or Cancellation

Due to the unpredictable nature of well, nature, we are unable to offer refunds or cancellations. The Homestead Share is like a CSA share in that each member signs up in the beginning of the year to receive the benefits and accept the risks of farming/homesteading. If in any case you are unable to use your share, you can sell or transfer it to another person.

All mentoring and homestead products will be available one Sunday per month from May-October for $495.
