Why Sliding Scale?
Allandale Farm has always been a place for community building, education, and fun. By offering sliding scale payments for select community events, we hope to greet even more members of our community at on-the-farm workshops, field walks and and other gatherings throughout the season.
How does it work?
For now, only select community events will be offered on a sliding scale. We hope to expand this offering in the future as we build a more robust community events calendar.
If an event is offered on a sliding scale, the event description will make note of it.
In the description, we will name the true cost of a ticket, which factors in all the expenses of running the event.
We will also name the scale (e.g. $5-$40). While you are welcome to pay more than the upper limit, the lower limit is the minimum required to attend the event.
Sliding Up? When you reach checkout, you’ll see the true cost ticket price listed and a box to write a “Pay What You Want Additional Amount”. The true cost ticket price will be added to the number in that box to calculate your total cost.

need more guidance?
Wondering if you should slide? Consider this: A sliding scale is a tool for building economic justice. If implemented effectively, everyone pays a similar percentage of their income for the same products or services. Can you comfortably meet your monthly expenses? Consider sliding up. Are you choosing between registering for a farm event and another expense? Consider sliding down. It’s helpful to consider both your class background and earning power when choosing your payment.
