Part 2 of our FAQ!
Question: what kind of food is it? Answer: we love doing fun stuff and exploring new things, so our menus are eclectic. See for yourself by scrolling through the invites in our posts. 1/2 of our founding team is gluten-free, so we always have good GF options. Often, we also have vegetarian and vegan options. And not that bullshit where they just substitute processed garbage - real, intentionally crafted options. Questin: how much food do you serve? Answer: we usually serve enough that there are several people who can't eat it all. Which is great, because I eat what they don't want. It's not weird, it's waste reduction. Delicious, delicious waste reduction. Imagine you are at a medium-fancy restaurant. Not fancy enough that the host gives you snide looks of you come I wearing jeans, but more like a good farm-to-table. You get a salad, appetizer, entree, dessert and drink and end up paying about $60. It's about that much food. Q: I can donate money or time? Whaaaat? Answer: we all need to pay bills, so we are grateful for monetary donations. However, your donation doesn't have to be money! We are standing up against the profit-driven market economy we find ourselves stuck in. We love the idea of gift economy, and believe people should have access to high quality local food no matter what they can offer. We also run Locavore Regenerative Farm and the Growcery suburban farms. There are ALWAYS projects going on and help wanted. Want to help us plant or weed? We'd love that! Have any skills? Carpentry, marketing, construction, photography, sewing, and many other talents could be helpful to us. Question: how much should I donate? Answer: when we first started, we had a reccomend donation of $10. We've had other reccomended amounts over the years - but really, we want to do away with any expectation of amount. Our events are F - R - E - E. If you wanna donate whatever spare change is in your pocket, that's fine. If you were totally blown away, and compelled to contribute your life savings of $300, then great! You can even donate in multiples od pi. Just don't donate negative dollars. That would be bad.
