Transparency and real costs to the farm - Preparing for this workshop takes 200+ labor hours in terms of logistics, food preparation, and more. This doesn't account for the workshop time itself or clean up after, nor does it account for the time taken away from other productive farm work. This includes the value of produce and meat from the farm, labor preparing meals and snacks, costs of catering, and all the hard work of those making sure this happens. If we were unpaid for any of our time and effort, the direct financial costs to the farm are about $20 per meal (x6) plus snacks and coffee ($30) is about $150 per person -- assuming staff go completely uncompensated. For our effort, we recuperate less than minimum wage after expenses. The purpose of this event is not to make money. In fact, we will be making most of the preparations that Josephine Porter Institute (JPI), a 501c3, will be selling for JPI's benefit. We are not making these preparations for ourselves. This is an effort to support the non-profit work of JPI and the broader biodynamic world. As such, we ask attendees to pay what they can afford, because this helps others (and helps the farm) be able to offer this abundance to many more people.
