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. Please complete the following Maple Mountain Homestead Share Membership Application by May 25th 2024 to sign up. Purchase before May 25th 2024 and a complimentary farm stay in our new off grid geodome will be included*! Maple Mountain Homestead accepts cash, check, credit card or Venmo. We look forward to helping make our community more resilient and self sufficient!

*Geodome is completely off grid, so be prepared to glamp in style! Free night will coincide with one of the open Saturdays before Homestead Learning Day.
