Common Soil vegetable membership application
We’re so pleased that you want to join us!

When you sign up for vegetable membership of Common Soil you’re joining the farm community. More than that, you’re supporting a movement of people committed to local, chemical-free food production to protect the environment, biodiversity and people’s connection to the land, to food growing and each other. With this mission in mind, vegetable members share in the abundance of produce when it’s there and support the farm through leaner times. Veg box contents changes with the seasons, which keeps you well connected to seasons and to the local environment. 

Be sure to read about the community supported agriculture model, information about our veg boxes and the FAQs on our website, before signing up: www.commonsoil.co.uk 

As a member you will have a share in the Community Benefit Society and a say over how it's run (if you want to) on a one member one vote basis. Shares have a nominal value of £1, that will be covered by your first membership payment.

All members can join us for events, celebrations, workshops and farm tours, dates of which will be communicated throughout the year. By prior arrangement, you’re welcome to visit the farm and see how your crops develop. If you'd like to get more involved, we also hold regular volunteer sessions and work days.

Please fill in the form below and we'll be in touch via email to confirm the details of how to set up payment and collect your first veg box on 26 June.

Payment

The annual cost for a regular ‘share of the harvest’ veg box and community membership inclusive is £675. This equates to £15.98 a veg box (40 boxes) and £3 per month community membership.

However, in the name of food justice – ensuring our food is accessible to a wide range of people, we’re offering the veg boxes on a solidarity pricing scale, so you can select to pay what you can realistically afford.

£573 per year or £47.75 per month for 12 months for those on a low income who are struggling to make ends meet and want to request a subsidy to make the veg affordable to them.

£675 per year or £56.25 per month for 12 months for those on a middle/average income.

£827 per year or £68.90 per month for 12 months for those on a higher income or with savings that allow them to comfortably afford the veg.

You can also choose anywhere between these points. So, you could choose £58 per month, for example.  If you’d like more guidance on what is considered low, middle or high income then there’s a helpful table on our FAQs page.

The additional income from the higher end of the scale goes towards subsidising the cost for those who find it harder to afford. Farm budgets are based on the middle rate, so we rely on members to tell us what is truly affordable for them at this time to make the project work. The running of the farm is still subsidised by grants/donations and is a non-profit operation.

Please enter in the box below the amount that you will pay per month between £47.75 and £68.90 (includes membership and weekly veg boxes for six months then fortnightly veg boxes for six months.)
