FOR MEMBERS · JOIN BY 30 SEPTEMBER TO SHAPE THIS SEASON
Stewardship at My Little Farm
You can already buy from the farm.
Stewardship is the farm growing for you.
We plant against the Stewards who commit. So a Steward has a say in what goes in the ground, takes first pick of everything that comes out of it, and gets 拢150 of their 拢195 a month straight back as Farm Tokens to spend. We sow the next season in early October.
what changes
As a member you can buy what we have. As a Steward, we grow it for you.
Your membership stays exactly as it is. Stewardship sits on top of it, and this is what it opens.
the one that matters
A say in what we grow
Each autumn the farm decides the year ahead: what goes in the beds, what we raise, what the kitchen preserves. Stewards are in that conversation.
before anyone else
First pick, every week
You order ahead of members and the public. And when a harvest comes up short, which it does, your allocation is honoured before anything goes on open sale.
your own food money
拢150 a month, straight back
Most of what you pay returns to you as Farm Tokens, to spend how you like across the farm. It is not a fee. It is your food budget, moved.
a price members never see
20% below public, on everything
Food, bookings, stays, gatherings. The deeper the commitment, the closer you get to what the food actually costs to grow.
the reason it grows
The farm plants for you
Committed demand is what a grower plants against. Your Stewardship is not an order, it is a promise the farm can plan a whole year around. That is the difference between a shop and a farm.
a year secured
Your place for 2027
Places are capped by what the land can grow, and they fill. Commit before the sowing and yours is held through the whole growing year, rather than going back on the list each season.
A steward is not a customer. A steward is someone who tends something on behalf of others, and we would rather decide what this farm grows with you than for you.
where the 拢195 goes
Most of it is your own food money. The rest is not shopping.
comes back to you
拢150
Returned in full each month as Farm Tokens, to spend across the farm however you like. Your food budget, moved from a supermarket to a field you can stand in.
stays with the land
拢45
This is the part that isn't shopping. It pays the people who tend the beds and the animals through winter and the hungry gap.
And here is the honest arithmetic, because you will do it anyway.
Your 20% means that if the farm becomes where you shop, most of that 拢45 finds its way back to you. Spend around 拢180 a month here and it returns in full.
Spend less than that, and the difference is simply what you are putting into the land. That is the whole idea. It is the price of a farm that is still standing in spring, when the land has given almost nothing back for five months and the work has carried on anyway.
why places are limited
Capped by what the land can grow.
The farm plants and raises against the Stewards who commit, so each season's places are limited by the beds, the pasture and the animals. When they are spoken for, the next places open with the next planting.
We sow in early October.
Join by 30 September and you are in the conversation that decides what goes in the ground: the varieties in the beds, what we raise, what the kitchen puts away for winter. After that the season is set, and the next chance to shape one comes round in a year.
